Don't know about a 2 post lift, but I always liked a forklift for pulling
and spearing engines.

How about a piece of plywood on it to use as a temporary work bench?

Or maybe pull the lawnmower (snowmobile) on it to work on it.

I service both my riding lawn mower and my Kubota tractor on the lift.

I've used it for drying clothes.  Spread the arms as far as possible and tie
rope from arm to arm.

The front of my truck rack was sagging due to fatigue and poor design (my
design!!).  Sagged 6 inches and the metal was fracturing.  Needed to
straighten it back out so I could weld diagonal supports.  Well the easiest
way to bend it back up was to hook the lift arms under the rack and start
raising the truck.  A long 12 foot 2x6, on edge, was my straight edge.
After it was aligned I welded in the supports that always should have been
there.

My Mazda tailgate had about a 4" bow in it due to repeatedly running a
wheelbarrow full of dirt up a ramp resting on the tailgate.  Placed my
heaviest vehicle on the lift and lowered the entire assembly down onto the
bowed tailgate.  The tailgate was properly situated under one of the lift
arms and supported by wooden 'sleepers'.  Worked like a charm.

Currently I am making a platform for the lift so I can service my
motorcycle.
