Thought I would post my installation of a scissor lift. It's a full rise scissor lift made by Bend Pak and will raise a vehicle 6 feet. It's designed to sit on the floor and ramps were included but I hated that you could only get one car at a time in the shop and the lift kind of consumed the area. The two post systems are much cheaper but then you have posts to deal with.
So, out came the saw, shovel, forms and concrete truck. Once the concrete cures, I will drop it in the new hole and the lift will be flush with the surface of my shop with 3/4" clearance all the way around. No more ramps or metal sticking up. I even installed an underground conduit for the hydraulic hoses and the air emergency lock system. The idea being to be able to use the garage like normal and still have a lift. It was a lot of work but I hope it will be worth it in the long run.     |

Man that looks great. Please post a video of it picking up your 914 now that it is installed in the floor. My father-in-law has one of those, but the little one that only lifts the car ~ 36".
