What is a double wide car lift?
A double wide car lift is a 4-post lift designed to hold two vehicles side by side. It’s wider than a standard lift and is ideal for storing or working on two cars at once in a home garage or shop.
How much garage space do I need for a double wide lift?
You’ll typically need at least 11 to 12 feet of width and around 10 feet of ceiling height. Exact space requirements vary by model, so always check the specs.
Can I drive both vehicles onto a double wide lift at the same time?
Yes—most double wide lifts feature dual runways designed for two cars to be loaded side by side, but you should always follow the manufacturer’s safety guidelines.
Is a double wide lift safe for long-term storage?
Absolutely. As long as the lift is properly installed and maintained, it’s great for long-term storage—especially models with safety locks on all four corners.
