Questions & Answers

What is the difference between "Asymmetric", "Symmetric" and "Versymmetric®" 2-Post Surface Lifts?

Asymmetric lifts move back the center of gravity of the vehicle. This benefits passenger cars, allowing the door to swing open behind the lift column, minimizing the risk of door damage.

Symmetric lifts evenly distribute the center of gravity of the vehicle between the lift columns. This benefits truck and vans, allows the door to swing open in-front of the lift column, minimizing the risk of door damage. Symmetrical lifts are also used for vehicles with uneven weight distribution.

Versymmetric® lifts are the best of both worlds. Instead of limiting your service bay capabilities and revenue potential to servicing "passenger cars only" or "truck and vans only", Challenger Versymmetric® lifts service both. Specially engineered heavy-duty arms allow a technician to safely accommodate just about anything that comes in for service - "asymmetrically or symmetrically" with 1 lift.

Know The Versymmetric Difference!

WARNING...If you try to lift a van or truck on a "asymmetric only" lift, you may be jeopardizing your safety and product warranty - read your warranty statements in installation manuals carefully.
