The role of the two-post and four-post lifts

Tire and chassis inspection

Suspension and drivetrain inspection, fluid changes

Body and underbody repairs

1. Vehicle lifting
Convenient for inspection and maintenance: The lifter lifts the vehicle to a suitable height so that the mechanic can conveniently inspect and maintain the vehicle's chassis, suspension system, exhaust system and other components.
Improvement of work efficiency: After the vehicle is lifted, it is easier to access all parts of the vehicle, thus improving the efficiency of repair and maintenance.
2. Tire replacement and maintenance
Easy tire replacement: After the lift lifts the vehicle, it is easy to replace tires, check and adjust tire air pressure, and perform tire balancing and alignment.
Brake system maintenance: easy to check and replace brake discs, brake pads and other components to ensure the normal operation of the brake system.
3. Chassis inspection and maintenance
Chassis maintenance: comprehensively inspect the vehicle chassis to find and solve potential problems such as oil leakage and parts wear.
Exhaust system inspection: facilitates the inspection and repair of exhaust pipes, catalytic converters and other exhaust system components to ensure that emissions meet standards.

Suspension and drivetrain inspection, fluid changes

4. Suspension system maintenance
Suspension System Adjustment: The lift enables the technician to check and adjust the suspension system to ensure the vehicle runs smoothly and has good shock absorption.
5. Drivetrain Maintenance
Transmission Inspection: The transmission can be inspected after the vehicle has been lifted for maintenance and repair work. Facilitates inspection and replacement of driveshafts and related components to ensure proper functioning of the drivetrain.
6. Fluid Replacement
Fluid Change: Conveniently replaces engine oil, transmission fluid, brake fluid and other fluids after the vehicle is lifted to ensure proper operation of the vehicle.

7. Body and bottom repair
Body Repair: The lifter can lift the vehicle to a height that is convenient for repairing the body and carrying out sheet metal painting and other work. It facilitates the cleaning of the underside of the vehicle to remove mud and debris and prevent corrosion.

In summary, car lifts play a vital role in vehicle repair and maintenance, not only to improve the efficiency of the work, but also to protect the safety and quality of repair work.
