4-Post Lift
Hi everyone -
Most of you know that I have a house with several garages... That is an awesome luxury - But - with the recent E23 purchase, I have now exceeded how many cars I can house inside them. The only thing that works in my favor (storage wise) is the E9 is in California being worked on - but, when that car comes back in the summer - I'll need to do something... Anyone have experiences with 4-post lifts? Recommendations? Or ones to stay away from? I will not need a HD one (or a large one) as I don't plan on putting any trucks on it - just ~ 4,000 lb (max) cars.... The garage space I am considering also is a bit narrow and has 120V only. So, those are considerations as well. I may need to also do some work on the building to reconfigure a beam that cuts across the middle of the bay (to increase headroom) - but that is another story. I have seen a few lifts online - and will talk to a couple of friends locally that (I think) have them, but thought I'd see what ideas you all might have for this. |
I've never used one, but thing go keep in mind is you need to make sure you don't drip oil anything else on the bottom car.

I've only seen storage lifts used at a museum -- they had several of them, including some that were 3 levels...

Bendpak.
Close the thread. |

Edit: The HD-9SW, or ideally the HD-9SWX, which will get high enough to walk comfortably underneath. If you have the garage height for it, you *really* want one that will lift high enough to not bang your head in to. http://www.bendpak.com/car-lifts/fou...s/hd-9swx.aspx |

I haven't bought a lift from them, but I've been very happy with their other products and they've been very responsive when I needed parts or information. |

Bendpak doesn't make anything with 120V service, does it?
Atlas does, but I think Atlas needs a dedicated 30amp circiut |
I believe that Bendpak offers 120v as an option. Give them a call.

Cool - Thanks for the info and leads.
I'll get into it in the next few weeks and see what happens. Thanks again (and if anyone thinks of something more - feel free to keep the ideas coming - this will be going on for a while) |
