Well I am going to be buying a lift for my garage. Mostly because I want to be able to put the six up high and park my daily driver under it and be able to leave one stall open all of the time just for ease of walking around. I have a 3 car garage and my wife has the middle stall for her daily driver.
In looking at these lifts, BendPak seems to emerge as a good quality unit. I did a search and came across several threads on lifts but nothing that specifically addresses the quality of the lifts. I am perfectly willing to bolt one to the garage floor if necessary. I know I want one that allows for the ramps to be moved wider if needed for an engine drop. I am hoping to be able to speak with BendPak on Monday to see what the recommend. I don't want overkill; I want a lift to be able to store the six and work on it. Not planning to put a 10K pound SUV on it. Thoughts or recommendations anyone? Thanks in advance. Michael |

You sacrifice a few inches down from the ceiling for this opener which lowers the overall height....BUT you can have them taper the rail so that it goes from the door elevation to nearly contacting the ceiling on the other end. In other words. the rail will not be parallel to the ceiling......(rail is higher at end)
The benefit is that when the door is open, you get maximum height at the CENTER of the garage where it counts. I can take a picture of mine if needed. |
