Choosing the right 2-post lift for your shop isn’t just about capacity—it’s about compatibility, safety, and long-term efficiency. With so many options on the market, understanding the difference between symmetric, asymmetric, and versymmetric lifts can help you make the best investment.

 

 

Asymmetric Lifts

These lifts shift the post positions to allow easier door access—perfect for sedans, SUVs, and sports cars.

✅ Great for: General repair shops, car dealerships
Example: Rotary SPOA10

 

Symmetric Lifts

Symmetric lifts support a vehicle with arms that are evenly spaced—making them ideal for trucks, vans, and fleet vehicles with a centered center of gravity.

✅ Great for: Fleet maintenance, heavy vehicles
Example: Rotary SPO12

 

 

Versymmetric Lifts

These hybrids combine the benefits of both. You get flexibility to lift a wide range of vehicles without switching equipment.

✅ Great for: High-volume shops with mixed vehicle types
Example: Forward I10N500
