Abstract
A description is provided of a vehicle lift (10) of the type with four columns, in which the vertical movement of the cross-beams (14) and of the runways (16) along the columns (12) is controlled by means of two pistons (18), each of which is accommodated inside a respective cross-beam (14), of which it controls the movement. The lift (10) provides considerably simplified assembly, and the possibility of replacing or displacing the runways (16).
