The two-stage valve assembly for a vehicle lift system comprises an outer sleeve extending along an axis between a first end and a second end. A stator is located in the first end and a valve opening is located in the second end. The two-stage valve assembly includes an armature assembly for selectively closing the valve opening and opening the valve opening in a first-stage open position and a second-stage open position. The armature assembly comprises a plunger moveable along the axis that includes a poppet portion having a poppet seal oriented towards the second end. A plunger seat is moveable along the axis and located between the poppet portion and the valve opening. The plunger seat includes a seat seal for sealing against the valve opening. A seat channel extends through the seat seal and the plunger seat and is in fluid communication with the valve opening.
