I just wanted to show off my lift. It made my tiny two car garage into a 3 only wish I had one on the right side too.


here it is half way down.

 

is it solid underneath?...no access under the car for maint and mods?

looks cool...I'm about to build a two car garage and master suite....no room for a lift

 

can you actually get another car under there? And feel comfortable about it?

 

actually there is a basement under the garage floor. It was built so it could handle 2,000 lbs for the lift and two 5,000lb cars. It is the only one post lift I have ever been able to find. I have gotten used to. My dad is going to be parking his 04 turbo porsche cabriolet under it so that explains how much he trusts the system.

Its solid, the only downside to the lift the metal floor is part of the structure.

 

If you don't mind my asking--how much & where did you get it from?

Thx,

Jeff in ATL

 

ohh the clearance I believe is about 7' 3-6" feet from the floor to the bottom of the lift.

 

I don't remember exactly how much it cost but it was definately almost double the price of a regular lift. If I remember correctly it was somewhere around 3.5 -6grand . I got it from werther international.

>>is it solid underneath?...no access under the car for maint and mods?

yes, that does seem strange... Iwonder why they would build it that way? Although the solid floor would prevent oil-drips on the car below.

 

It's extremely....kool :smile:

I have a friend here on LI who has a pit buildt into the floor of his garage..that 2... it an incredible ...addition :smile:

Peace,

>>actually there is a basement under the garage floor. >>

Dude, now you need a Batcave!!!!!

 

complete with a statue/bust with the tilting head which reveals yet another toggle switch opening the access to the fire pole to slide down!

but in Florida, we have this thing called a water table which exists a few feet, sometimes inches, from the surface!

 

I would build up a "false floor" under the lift that is level with its foot support - I wouldn't want to put the stress of driving over that everytime I took my turbo Porsche out

 

neato! dang, only 3.5k - 6k? i should get one of those.

Did you have to get a village permit (ordinace) for that, or does it not
matter to have a lift inside your garage of that scale?

i got 2 cars in our 2 car garage. my wife's car is on the driveway.
if i get that, i can buy another car to keep in the garage (3) and
wife's car can still stay out on the driveway.

 

just noticed that it won't work in my garage cause the garage door rolls up
inside the garage above the cars parked on ground level. It would hit the
car on the lift when the garage door opened.

 

The A8L is nice too.

 

>>The A8L is nice too. :smile:

 

Very nice. I love the new A8L (W12 shown below).

 

>>The A8L is nice too.
I have the four post lift. I had to have an additional door panel installed. They raised the tracks to a few inches below the ceiling. Side mounted the electric opener.
Many people want to put a lift in their garage - better do the math before you buy. Many garage ceilings are too low for a car to park below.
They are great for working on a car - mine would be better if it picked the car up with the adjustable arms (changing wheels ect.)

 

Looks like someone is doing quite well for themselves . That is a very cool setup. A close friend of mine is installing a double upright system in their new house. The brand new SL500 goes under the 911. The S500 and the CL600 have their own bays. I guess their new Escalade will stay outside...

 

Mine parks just as high.But not on a lift. My garage is 2 floors. Drive around back, and you can go into the lower garage which I have set up as a shop. Lower garage houses the landcruiser project and my pickup truck. Upper garage houses the cooper s and the brother in law's matrix. My woman's 4 runner and brother in law's work van reside outside. I have way too many cars in my yard. And I usually have 2 more here that aren't mine too!

 

Isn't it annoying to do all the juggling it would require to get the car off the lift and out of the garage? (pull out one car, drop lift, pull out lifted car, pull in other car, drive away).

I've tried parking motorcycles behind cars, and I basicly stopped using them due to the hassle, and ended up moving the car outside.

 

Dude, aren't you in earthquake country? Would this setup withstand something like that?

 

>>Dude, aren't you in earthquake country? Would this setup withstand something like that?<<

 

if that car on the lift falls off onto another car below during an
earthquake, would the top car be covered under the comprehensive
coverage or a collision? (or earthquake home owner's coverage?)

the car on the bottom would be covered under comprehensive...

just wondering....
