Anyone have a lift in their garage or experience with a 2 post lift that they can recommend?

Thanks,

J

 

Rotary 2 post lift with the angled post for easy opening of doors when car is on Rack. That is what we have at the infiniti dealer here in SW Fla

* Asymmetric Two-Post lift
* Pad contact lift
* Conventional controls located on power unit
* Two stage arms with three position flip-up adapters
* Download written specifications and cad drawing

Unless you plan on working on some trucks (heavy duty) I would go with this one. Call Rotary and talk to one of sales staff and tell them your needs. I just know at all the dealers I worked at these were my favorite.

thanks, appreciate it.

 

N/P I wish i could fit a high rise lift in my garage.

 

PRO PARK 7:
Well instead of trying to fit one in your garage and work in there, you can get this one... you can store it in the garage and park under it and when you want to use it, only one person needed to move it out to the drive way just outside the garage to lift and work....

im gonna buy this one, check it out:

From the supra forum write up, somewhere in there he said he is able to comfortably work under the car while in the garage lifted up all the way with a mechanics chair? I love mechanics chairs so if it can get atleast that height in the garage then im all for it....

Very Nice what kind of clearance does it need? I think My ceiling in mY garage is maybe 8 1/2 or 9 feet. Just moved it not to long ago have not measured it yet.

 

well, i dont know the dimensions of the unit but from the guy in the supra forums, he said his garage is 9 foot 10 inches and if you look at picture the 4 black post are maybe 7.5 feet tall. So it looks like it will work in your 9 foot garage you just wont be able to lift the car as high as him.....but to me if you can work on a mechanic chair than thats sweet....

i think im gonna buy mine to roll it out on to my drive way just outside the garage and lift all the way whenever i have a big job to do, like a tranny removal for a clutch install or something time consumming...

my house has a really flat driveway outside of the garage then only curves down to the street level at the last few feet closest to the street.

ahhh....im saving right now to buy this thing! should have the monies sometime in june or july! arrrggghh, i may even just charge the b*tch on my credit card!

Wow... so this is less than 2k?! Good deal! I might have to look into it.

 

I am leaning towards a 2 post for my garage as I like to have total access. (former mechanic) I spoke with a engineer yesturday about raising my ceiling height in my garage. I should be able to get to 10 foot at the lowest and 12 foot at the highest (cathedrial ceiling). My only concern is my z will be spending its nights on the lift and the suspension sag may wear on my shocks and axles. Does anyone have any ideas? As we are trading in my Fiances Z and My Titan for Cayenne Turbo and a 996 Turbo or a Cayman s (I know very different but she likes them both). I want to keep those cars in the garage just due to there cost. We have a large 2 car at 20X30. We receive Horrible service from our 2 local Nissan Dealers and found a good dealer about 60 miles away, but NNA treated us So/So and well we do not like driving 2 hours plus to get to a dealer (south florida traffic).

to avoid the suspension sag i would just prop the wheels back up while on the lift.
