Single phase can suit home garages
A 230V or 240V single-phase car lift can avoid the need for a three-phase supply, which is one reason power is an early GarageReady filter. This is particularly relevant when comparing 2-post lifts for a domestic garage or smaller workshop.
230V, 240V and single phase are overlapping search language
UK nominal mains voltage is 230V, while 240V remains common language in equipment listings and searches. Treat these as ways of describing the supply question, not as permission to connect a machine without checking its data plate and instructions.
Voltage alone is not the specification
Check current demand, plug or isolator requirements, circuit protection, cable sizing and any manufacturer requirements. Those are electrical-design questions, not something to infer from a 230V label.
Some ranges offer multiple power options
A product family may be sold in single- and three-phase versions. Make sure the quoted model and the specification sheet refer to the same variant.
GarageReady keeps unknown power unknown
If we have not verified a product power supply, the Lift Finder flags it for confirmation rather than treating it as a match.
Power information is taken from current manufacturer or supplier specifications where available. A competent electrician or installer should confirm the final electrical provision.
Vehicle lifts are safety-critical equipment. GarageReady is decision support, not structural or installation approval. Confirm the final specification with the manufacturer and a competent installer.
