You're not going to pay twice as much for ...
<center><img src="http://www.eagleequip.com/images/product_pictures/2_post_lifts/tpo10a.jpg"></center><p>a less functional 4 post lift are you? Put the ceiling to 14' and get a two post profesionally installed included core drilling the slab and 4000psi concrete. Why do you think you cant use a two post for storage? I know my friends at race shops leave cars on two posts for months at a time while building them. Plus, you have spent less money and it is 1000 times easier to actually work on the car on a two post lift. There are lots of DC area people on this board who would love to take advantage of a workable lift in the area?

I have three lifts in my shop. Two 12,000lb twin-post lifts and one 12,000 four-post lift.
Rotary is one of the best manufacturers of lifts around, and has some of the highest standards.

Nothing is restricted really, my 4-post lift comes with optional pneumatic rolling jacks. (more)
The answer to your question is both yes and no. If you purchase a four-post lift with pneumatic rolling jacks, then you're able to lift the vehicle an extended height over the four-post lift itself. It's a simple procedure. Drive the vehicle on the four-post lift. Raise the lift to the desired height. Position pneumatic rolling jacks under vehicle. Raise vehicle. There you go, your vehicle is raised completely off the four-post lift, allow you to work on the wheels, brakes, suspension, etc. This allows better coverage when working on the sides of the vehicle, as compared to using a twin-post lift where the posts may get in the way. A regular four-post lift without the use of pneumatic rolling jacks will hinder work related to anything related to the wheels and suspension. However, it offers far more stability than a twin-post lift. I would highly recommend purchasing pneumatic rolling jacks if you choose a four-post lift.
