Only way to go, I am building a new garage with 10' - 12' ceiling, 24' W X 30' L and it will have a lift. Getting to "old" to lay on the floor.

[ralphscott]

All right Rick other side of the yard from your current workshop or added-on to the workshop (in front of it)?

Ralph

That car sure looks familiar..........

Great.....I have a 4-post lift also. My garage has 14' ceilings and I can raise the Cobra all the way up. My wife parks her Z3 under it. I did have to add a blank panel to the garage door and a longer vertical section of the frame which allows the door to open above the car. Bought it from a guy in Atlanta that completely assembled it, loaded on a trailer and delivered it. Took him all of 5-minutes to roll it in my garage, plug it in and I was ready to go.

Dennis, Was this one that you brought used or does this guy sell them assembled? My ceilings are 12 ft. in the upstairs garage and I was planning on doing the same mods to my garage door frame to lift it higher (closer to the ceiling)

Mike, what is the make and model of the one you purchased? If my "better half" won't let me have one in the upstairs garage -- then since I have a finished workshop garage with 8 ft. ceilings I could use one with shorter stands down there.

The Lift Came From Complete Hydraulic Its A 8,000 Pound It Cost About $2,200 Delivered.it Came With Steal Casters So You Can Move It Around And They Realy Work. I Also Bought An Extra Set Of Ramps So I Can Drive Up And Over Makes It Easer To Park Cars In Front. It Took A Floor Jack And An Engine Hoist To Put It Together The Long Ramps Were Pretty Heavy. It Only Took About 3 -4 Hours To Unload Un Pack & Assemble .

Rodney I Change My Trany From The Munice To A Tko 600 I Han A Couple Of Bugs To Fix . Mainly The Hydro Barring I Over Extend It And Well Liquid Started Pouring Out Of The Bell Houseing. I Should Have It On The Road By Saturday .

Nice lift Mike. What brand is it?

[Jerry Cowing]

Nice lift Mike. With my luck or is it old age, I'd probably lift it right up through the ceiling.

I've been debating with myself for a long time whether to get a 4-post or a 2-post offset. I think I've decided to build a pit in my next garage to simulate a 4-post and then buy a 2-post so the wheels can hang. Seems like that may be the best of both worlds. What do you think?

Ralph, good to hear from you again. Hope you and Gayle are doing well in all the snow. It still hasn't gotten down to freezing here yet. Hopefully, it will get cold for a few weeks to cool the Gulf off and decrease the hurricane intensities. It's also good to kill a few mosquitoes and black flies.

If i had the room i would go with a 2 post lift, my garage celling was to low to fit a 2 post. You can do a lot more with a 2 post lift.
