It's not the equipment cost. It's everything that comes BEFORE you can even use it.
Traditional two-post lifts require 4-6 inch concrete slabs rated at 3,000 PSI minimum. If your shop was built between 1990-2010, there's a good chance you have post-tension concrete. that can cost you $6,400-$12,800 before you lift a single vehicle.
The reality: Most shops discover their floors can't support traditional lifts AFTER they've already ordered the equipment.

Without a lift, your techs spend 30-60 minutes per vehicle struggling with jack stands, crawling on concrete, and risking back injuries. They're slower. They're tired. And they turn down the profitable work—transmissions, exhaust systems, suspension overhauls—because it's too physically demanding.
The reality: A 3-bay shop without lifts services 40% fewer vehicles per day than shops with professional lifting equipment. Lost productivity = lost revenue, every single day.

Traditional fixed car lifts are permanent. Once anchored into Bay 2, that's where they stay—forever. Need to reconfigure for a wide truck? Move equipment for detail work? Reorganize your shop layout as your business grows?
The reality: Fixed car lifts lock you into one bay configuration. Limited space means restricted vehicle capacity. Bulky permanent equipment wastes valuable shop area you could use for storage, tool carts, or additional service bays.
