Don't suppose you'd trade in that boat. You'd get a nice garage out of it!!

 

I'll post up more when I get it.
But here's a vid for a lift similar to the one I'm getting.


The main reason for this style is I didn't want to deal with posts for parking & door access.
This also gives a clear path around the car for detailing etc.

 

A friend of mine sells a unit like this. Its great! You can park over it anytime without lining up ramps etc. No 3 foot step out of the car either.

Good buy! Congrats.

 

Nice. I can't count the number of times one of those would have been very handy in my garage.

 

True, I won't get rid of it, unless I'm getting a bigger one

as a matter of fact, Karen and I are headed down to the boat in a few minutes, to get out for a couple of hours.


Ian that lift looks perfect for your needs

 

haha, I understand about the bigger one or that nice RF246.

Sounds like a great plan to get in some more water time while the season is getting short.

 

Looks like that will be perfect for your needs!. Ian's Garage will really be open for business soon.

Shame I live too far away.

 

What's the ground clearance for that thing Ian?

And where abouts did you find it?

 

Nevermind, that thing looks amazing but I'd never get my car on it haha.

 

5 3/4"
I'm going to run a couple of planks on each side to get clearance.

& ebay

 

Wow! Sensational! That'd make so many mods a breeze- changeouts would be awesome!

VERY nice!

 

Nice piece of kit, though it looks as though it'd be a challenge to work directly under it. Great for oil changes, detailing and wheel changeovers, though, and after all those are the things we do most frequently. I suppose you could get truly creative and lift the vehicle, block it, then roll the lift out to work on, say, the transmission or axle-forward exhaust.

 

^yeah that's the one thing that's not ideal.
That's the trade-off vs. a 2 post lift with the posts in the way for parking, working around, etc.
+ the 2 poster requires base support work to install.

& This one I can always take with me if we decide to downsize one day.

 

Updates??

 

^^^^^^^^^^+1 on that
