All,
I am rebuilding the garage, very small NE garage 19' x 10' and about 8' clear. I am thinking about installing a 2 post lift where each post would be against the walls, out of the way. I am concerned about the safety of these lifts, I would only be putting 914s or 911s on this lift. 1. Is the anchoring of the pad sufficient to keep these from tilting (forward/back)? 2. How deep do the anchors need to be placed into the floor? Very little detail on web sites. 3. Are there any preferences as to vendors? I have been looking at this one: https://www.toolots.com/two-post-car-lift-l...#productDetails My requirements are that the lift be as small (footprint) and safe as possible. THANK YOU ALL TEENERS!

As some of you know, I just bought a mid rise lift used. $900. New 1500. 6000lbs.
Max lift height of around 60in. Depending on adaptors used, can be more, less. Haven’t used it yet. But some have chimed in already. Nobody regrets buying a lift. Attached image(s)
