RE: IML: Car Lift

["bill parker" <hemirr@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I chose a 2 post lift because I wanted the additional ability to do 
mechanical work.  While a 4 post allows you to do just about everything with 
the addition of jack trays and jacks, a pro transmission mechanic who has 
both kinds told me that he is constantly knocking his elbows, "funny" bones, 
etc, on the ramps of the 4 post kind, trying to wind his arms around them to 
get to stuff, etc when pulling a transmission or similar work, while the 
primary thing to worry about with the 2 post is banging his head, and he put 
rubber bumpers on the arms to soften that.  I would say the big advantage of 
4 post is the ease of or no installation, and possibility to move it around 
if needed.  The 2 post is also cheaper for the same capacity/brand.
