Vehicle hoists are mechanical devices designed to lift vehicles off the ground for maintenance and repair. They come in various types, including two-post, four-post, and scissor hoists, each serving different needs in automotive workshops. These hoists provide easy access to the undercarriage, allowing mechanics to perform tasks such as oil changes, brake repairs, and exhaust work safely and efficiently. Using a vehicle hoist enhances safety by reducing the risk of injury associated with working under a car. They are commonly found in professional garages and can also be used by car enthusiasts at home. Proper installation and maintenance of a vehicle hoist are essential for safe operation.
