A vehicle lift 10 comprises a first post 12a along which a first carriage 16a is movable, a second post 12b along which a second carriage 16b is movable, an actuator arrangement (22a, 22b, 24 fig. 3) for moving the carriages 16a, 16b along the posts 12a, 12b to raise and lower a vehicle supported by the carriages 16a, 16b and a cross-member 50 extending between the first and second posts 12a, 12b and which is adjustable in length, enabling the width of the vehicle lift 10 to be adjusted to enable it to be fitted to the floor space available in a garage or workshop. The actuator arrangement may include two hydraulic actuators (22a, 22b fig. 3) connected by an inter-post hydraulic line (28 fig. 3) extending through the cross-member 50, a minor part (28b fig 3) of which hydraulic line (28 fig. 3) may be replaceable to change the total length of the hydraulic line (28 fig. 3). The cross-member 50 may include two telescopic parts (70, 72 fig. 7a) adapted to be secured to one another at multiple different locations such as holes (74 fig. 7a) to adjust the length of the cross-member 50. The cross-member 50 may include an adjustable inner structural member (52 fig. 7a) and an adjustable outer cover member (54 fig. 6). A carriage coordination or equalising mechanism may include one or more ropes or cables (40a, 40b fig. 4) whose tether points (42a, 42b fig. 4) on the carriages 16a, 16b may be moved to suit the width of the lift 10.
