Two post Lift Question

[metaleltr]

Are there any lifts that have enough clearance to fit a trailer between the columns? The minimum distance would be 10'. Slightly less may work but I doubt it.

The 18,000lb 2 post BendPak has only 120" clearance between the columns. Challenger also has a 18,000 lb 2 post but its 120" also. I think those are the largest 2 post lifts of those two brands. The drive thru clearance is going to be less.

Has to fit in 12' ceiling. 10,000 pound capacity is perferable.

I know Rotary makes a wide two post, but I don't recall exactly how wide it really is. It was intended for work with vehicles such as the Hummer H1, and other wide 'trucks' and 'vans'.

I'm not sure of the Rotary model I have at work but I can just squeeze my car trailer between the post.

Are you looking for a drive thru clearance of 10ft? I don't think there is a two post lift that has that width. The Mohawk System I doesn't have that wide of a drive thru clearance.

I would like it to be able to back a boat or car trailer into the lift and lift the trailer.

You need to be looking at the drive thru clearance of the lift. If your tires are no wider than 8 1/2 feet to the outside then you should be able to find a lift that will work.

The wide Bendpak 2 post XPR-10A has a drive thru clearance of 102".

Not being a smart a.. but are you sure you need 10' for the trailer? I thought the max. width of towable trailers was 8'6". My car trailer fits nicely between my bendpak 2 post lift. Maybe you have other things on your trailer that I don't. Just trying to be helpful. Good luck in finding the lift you need, I am sure someone makes what you are looking for.

I will measure the exact width of the boat trailer today.

 

[metaleltr]

The trailer is 100" from tire to tire.

Bendpak XPR-10 or XPR-10A allow 102 drive through clearance

Mine does. I mounted it 6" wider than "standard" as I use it on a lot of European cars that lift on the pinch welds. All that was needed was to extend the hydraulic lines by 6" each. No problems.

You can put the two Mohawk posts as close or far apart as you like since the columns aren't mechanically connected.

I am looking for a lift to raise my Mercedes 560SL and 600 SL, both cars weight close to 4000# You saying the regular lift is not wide enough?
