Load-sensing vehicle lift

A lift system, comprising:

• a lift post, wherein the lift post comprises a lower portion and an upper portion;
• a lift structure configured to actuate vertically along the lift post;
• a non-user-interface control assembly located at the upper portion of the lift post, the non-user-interface comprising:
• a motor operable to raise the lift structure at a default raising speed,
• a hydraulic reservoir,
• a float switch configured to determine when fluid within the hydraulic reservoir is below a predetermined threshold, and
• a variable frequency drive configured to alter a power provided by the motor to raise the lift structure at a second raising speed based on a measurement,
• wherein the second raising speed is faster than the default raising speed;
• and
• a user-interface control assembly located at the lower portion of the lift post, wherein the user-interface control assembly is configured to selectively activate the motor to raise the lift structure at the default raising speed, wherein the user-interface control assembly is further configured to selectively activate the motor to raise the lift structure at the second raising speed.

A lift system, comprising:

• a lift post assembly, wherein the lift post assembly comprises a first post and a second post extending between a lower portion and an upper portion;
• a lift structure assembly configured to actuate vertically along the lift post;
• a non-user-interface control assembly located at the upper portion of the lift post, the non-user-interface comprising:
• a motor operable to raise the lift structure, and
• a variable frequency drive configured to alter a power provided by the motor based on a measurement;
• and
• a user-interface control assembly located at the lower portion of the lift post assembly, wherein the user-interface control assembly is configured to activate the motor, wherein the user-interface control assembly comprises a first pendant having a first button and a second pendant having a second button, wherein the first button and the second button must be simultaneously activated in order for the first button and the second button to activate the motor in a first lift mode.
