Two post or four post: which car hoist do you need?

Two post hoists

Two post hoists lift the vehicle by its chassis, so the wheels hang free. Choose one if most of your work is:

  • brakes, suspension and tyres
  • exhaust and underbody repairs
  • general mechanical servicing in a tight bay

From $9,900 AUD.

Four post hoists

Four post hoists are drive-on, so the vehicle sits level on its wheels. Choose one if most of your work is:

  • servicing and inspections
  • wheel alignment
  • storing or stacking vehicles

The X models add upper scissor lifts, so the wheels can come off too. From $11,990 AUD.

Still not sure? Running a mixed fleet usually means a mix of both. Talk to our engineers.

Car hoist prices in Australia

Our car hoists range from $9,900 AUD for either two post model to $19,250 AUD for the FP4000X four post hoist with upper lift. The price comes down to three things:

  • Type: two post hoists cost less than four post hoists.
  • Capacity: 4,000 kg four post models cost more than 3,500 kg ones.
  • Upper lifts: the X models add scissor lifts for wheel-free work.

Worth knowing: the FP3500X ($14,960) costs less than the FP4000 Standard ($16,170). If you need the wheels off more than you need the extra 500 kg, the X is the better buy.

When you compare quotes from other suppliers, check the warranty and who does the installation as well as the price.

Installation and site requirements

A car hoist is only as safe as the site it's installed on. Before we quote, we check:

  • slab thickness and concrete strength (critical for two post hoists)
  • ceiling height over the bay
  • power supply at the hoist location
  • how vehicles and people move through the workshop

We install every hoist ourselves, anywhere in Australia, and we never subcontract it. See how our vehicle hoist installation works.

Five-year warranty, and who we build for

Every Bishamon hoist we supply carries a five-year warranty. Most hoists on the market get two or three years.

We've been fitting out workshops since 2011 for clients including Toyota Motor Corporation Australia, BMW Australia and Genesis Motors Australia. Hoists are often one part of a larger job: we also design and build complete workshops.

Car hoist FAQs

How much does a car hoist cost in Australia?

UNIPAC's Bishamon car hoists range from $9,900 AUD for a two post hoist to $19,250 AUD for a 4,000 kg four post hoist with upper lift. Every model includes a five-year warranty.

Is a car hoist the same as a car lift?

Yes. "Car hoist" is the usual term in Australia, and "car lift" or "vehicle lift" is common overseas. They describe the same equipment.

Should I buy a two post or a four post hoist?

Choose a two post hoist if you need the wheels free for brakes, suspension and tyre work. Choose a four post hoist for drive-on servicing, wheel alignment and storage. A four post X model gives you both.

Which car hoist is best for wheel alignment?

A four post hoist, because it holds the vehicle level on its wheels. The X models add upper lifts, so you can raise the vehicle off the runways mid-job.

Do you install the hoist as well as supply it?

Yes. Our own team assesses the site, installs the hoist and commissions it before handover, anywhere in Australia.

What warranty comes with your hoists?

Five years on every Bishamon hoist we supply.
