Please explain floor plate and how it helps jacking up the car relatively quicker?

4 post even if it's 220V, still is slower than the 2 post to go up and own. Lifting aluminum j, positioning them for taking the car off and then putting them back do take some time.

2 post, if you know the lifting points, may be few minutes quicker but then you have to bend over and position the arms before lifting the vehicle.

I can tell you this though, I have 5 car garage on the main floor and an another garage in the basement and I would rather do another driveway to the basement ($4000-$6000) than getting another 4 post ($3500-$4000).
