Atlas 414 14,000 LB 4-Post Lift + (2) RJ8 Jacks Combo

A 2-post lift raises a vehicle by its frame or pinch welds and leaves the wheels hanging, making it ideal for brake, suspension, and undercarriage work. A 4-post lift drives onto two runways and keeps the wheels on platforms, making it better for storage, oil changes, and longer-term projects. Your choice depends primarily on the type of work you plan to do and the clearance available in your garage.

Technically yes, but it is not recommended for long-term storage. 2-post lifts hold a vehicle by contact points designed for service positions, which can stress frame components over extended periods. A 4-post or dedicated storage lift is the correct tool for parking and stacking vehicles.

Yes, but EV owners must take extra care to identify proper lift points that avoid the battery pack. Always consult your EV owner's manual for certified jack and lift contact points before raising the vehicle. We recommend choosing a lift with adjustable arm reach and rubber puck adapters to accommodate EV-specific chassis geometry.

Symmetric lifts position the vehicle's center over the posts, with arms reaching equal distances front and rear. Asymmetric lifts rotate the posts inward so the vehicle sits farther back, letting the driver's door open fully — ideal for passenger cars. Asymmetric designs are popular in shops that service many sedans, while symmetric arms handle trucks and longer wheelbase vehicles more comfortably.

Most of our tire changers support run-flat and low-profile tires when equipped with the appropriate assist arm or helper tool. Run-flat sidewalls are significantly stiffer than standard tires, so you need a machine with adequate torque and a drop-center assist arm to avoid damaging the tire or rim. Check each product's specification sheet for run-flat compatibility before purchasing.

A heavy-duty full-size pickup (e.g., Ford F-250, Ram 2500) can weigh over 8,000 lbs fully equipped. We generally recommend a lift rated for at least 10,000–12,000 lbs for trucks in this class to maintain a safe working margin. Always verify the vehicle's GVWR on the door placard and choose a lift that exceeds it.

Mini excavators can penetrate lightly frost-hardened soil but struggle with deeply frozen ground, which can exceed the breaking force of the bucket and risk hydraulic damage. In colder climates, we recommend thawing or pre-breaking frozen sections before excavating. Always check the operating temperature range specified for your engine model (Honda GX390, Kubota D722, etc.).

Garage Supplies US is a direct-to-consumer equipment retailer and does not currently dispatch installation crews. However, our support team at (973) 434-5150 can walk you through the installation process and point you toward local certified lift installers. Many lifts also include detailed installation manuals and instructional video links.

Most 2-post lifts require a minimum concrete thickness of 4–6 inches (some models specify at least 5.9 inches) with a compressive strength of at least 3,000 PSI. Installing on sub-standard concrete voids the warranty and creates serious safety hazards. Have your slab professionally tested if you are unsure of its rating before purchase.

Most 2-post lifts require a minimum ceiling clearance of 11–12 feet, while "extra tall" models may need 13–14 feet or more. You should also account for the height of the vehicle being lifted plus adequate working clearance underneath it. Measure your garage at the lowest point (including beams and light fixtures) before selecting a model.

Yes. Most hydraulic car lifts require a dedicated 220V/240V single-phase circuit, typically 20–30 amps, depending on the motor size. Running a lift on an overloaded shared circuit risks tripping breakers, motor damage, and safety hazards. Consult a licensed electrician to verify your panel capacity and run the appropriate wiring before the lift arrives.

For a mechanically experienced person with the correct tools, a 2-post lift installation generally takes 4–8 hours. Factors that add time include running new electrical circuits, anchoring into especially thick concrete, and working solo. Having a second person present for positioning the columns and threading anchor bolts is strongly recommended.

Most 4-post storage lifts are freestanding and do not require floor anchoring under normal conditions, though anchoring is always recommended for earthquake zones or commercial environments with frequent use. Check the specific model's documentation — some extra-tall variants or those used with a rolling jack do require anchoring to prevent tipping.

Heavy and oversized equipment is shipped via LTL (less-than-truckload) freight carrier. Delivery is curbside — the truck will bring the pallet to the curb or driveway, but the driver is not responsible for moving equipment inside your garage or shop. Plan to have additional help or equipment available to move the item from the delivery point to its final location.

Contact the freight carrier directly using the tracking information provided in your shipping confirmation email to reschedule a delivery window. If you cannot reach the carrier, contact our support team at (973) 434-5150 and we will assist in coordinating. Note that storage fees may apply if delivery is delayed beyond the carrier's free holding window.

Before the driver leaves, inspect every pallet and box for visible damage — crushed corners, punctures, or strapping that has shifted. If you see any damage, note it clearly on the delivery receipt (Bill of Lading) before signing. Take dated photos of the damage and the packaging. Report any issues to us within 5 business days at contact@garagesuppliesus.com with your order number and photos.

First, check around your property and with neighbors in case the driver left it in an alternate location. For freight deliveries, confirm the drop-off location with the carrier. If the item is still missing after 24 hours, contact us at contact@garagesuppliesus.com or (973) 434-5150 with your order number and tracking details, and we will initiate a carrier trace claim on your behalf.

Expedited shipping availability varies by product size and carrier options. For smaller accessories and parts, expedited options may be available at checkout. For large freight items like lifts and excavators, standard LTL freight is typically the only option. Contact us before ordering if delivery speed is critical.

Most vehicle lifts come with a 1-year (12-month) warranty covering all parts and product defects at no charge, plus an extended 3-year (36-month) warranty specifically on structural lift components. Hydraulic seals, cylinders, and electronic components are typically covered under the 1-year parts warranty. Wear items such as rubber pads are generally excluded. See the individual product page for brand-specific coverage details.

Yes. Installing a lift on concrete that does not meet the required thickness and PSI rating, or wiring the lift to an incorrect voltage, voids the warranty and creates serious liability. Always follow the installation manual precisely and ensure your installation environment meets the published specifications before using the equipment.

To initiate a warranty claim, email contact@garagesuppliesus.com with your order number, a description of the defect or issue, and clear photos or video showing the problem. Our team will review the submission and coordinate with the manufacturer to arrange repair parts, replacement components, or further technical assistance as appropriate.

Yes. Many replacement parts — hydraulic cylinders, safety latch assemblies, rubber pads, drip trays, and caster kits — are available for purchase. Contact our support team with your product model number and the part you need, and we will source it from the manufacturer or distributor on your behalf.

Our 24/7 support line at (973) 434-5150 handles both general inquiries and technical troubleshooting. If you encounter a safety concern with equipment in operation — such as a lift that won't lower or an unexpected noise — do not hesitate to call at any hour. For complex technical issues, our team may schedule a follow-up with a product specialist if needed.

Regular maintenance — including lubricating overhead cables and sheaves, checking hydraulic fluid levels, inspecting safety latch mechanisms, and tightening anchor bolts — is generally required to keep the warranty valid and the lift safe. Keep a maintenance log. Most manufacturers recommend a full service inspection every 6–12 months or every 5,000 lifts, whichever comes first.

ALI (Automotive Lift Institute) certification is noted on individual product pages for models that carry it. ALI-certified lifts have been independently tested for load capacity, structural integrity, and safety features. We recommend choosing an ALI-certified model for commercial shop environments where OSHA compliance or insurance requirements may mandate it.

Most car lifts are designed for indoor use only. Outdoor installation exposes the hydraulic components, electronics, and steel columns to moisture, temperature extremes, and corrosion, which can compromise safety and void the warranty. If you need outdoor lifting capability, contact us to discuss options specifically rated for semi-enclosed or covered outdoor environments.

Key safety features include automatic mechanical safety locks that engage at multiple points along the column, redundant anti-fall devices, a single-point lock release for controlled lowering, non-slip arm pads and platforms, thermal overload protection on the motor, and a safety shut-off in the event of hydraulic pressure loss. Higher-end models combine multiple of these systems for maximum protection.

You will need to know your concrete slab thickness and its PSI compressive strength rating. A construction contractor or structural engineer can core-drill a sample to measure thickness, and a concrete testing service can assess compressive strength. Most residential slabs are 3.5–4 inches thick at around 2,500 PSI, which may fall below the minimum specs for heavier commercial lifts — reinforcement or a new pour may be required.

At minimum, wear safety-toe footwear and safety glasses when raising or lowering a vehicle. Keep bystanders clear of the lift area during operation. When working under a raised vehicle, never rely solely on the hydraulics — always confirm the mechanical safety locks are fully engaged before going underneath. Gloves are recommended when handling components with sharp edges or hot surfaces.

In the United States, no federal license is required to operate a mini excavator on private property. However, commercial job sites may require OSHA-compliant equipment operation training, and certain localities have permit requirements for excavation work. Always call 811 (Call Before You Dig) to locate underground utilities before any excavation project, regardless of machine size.
