1. A low profile adapter removably engageable with a two-post vehicle lift system, the low profile adapter comprising:
a support member;
a base plate rigidly connected to a bottom portion of the support member, the base plate extending longitudinally in a first direction from a first side of the support member;
at least one capture plate rigidly connected to the support member and extending longitudinally in a second direction from an opposing second side of the support member, wherein the first direction is opposite the second direction relative to the support member, the at least one capture plate having at least one adapter attachment pin hole positioned to align with an attachment pin hole of at least one swing arm platform of the vehicle lift system, wherein the low profile adapter is operable to pivotally attach to the at least one swing arm platform by an attachment pin inserted through the at least one attachment pin hole and the attachment pin hole of the at least one swing arm platform; and
an outrigger arm capture member having a first leg and a second leg rigidly connected together at a substantially right angle, the first leg having a distal end portion operable to be connected to an upper portion of the support member and the second leg having a distal end portion operable to be connected to the base plate to form a drive-thru slot;
wherein the drive-thru slot is sized to slidably receive an outrigger arm of a material handling vehicle.
