Hi Guys,
My wife and I bought a new (to us) home on 2.8 acres (hopefully she is content to stay there until I am in the ground (IMG:style_emoticons/default/hands.gif) ). It has a large 3-car that is 6' wider than my current over-sized 3-car, has a 10' ceiling and is deeper too but I can't remember how much deeper. I am going back tomorrow morning to take measurements of all of the rooms so I can start thinking what we will do inside. I am looking for lift recommendations for that garage. I have thus far had a 4-post and a scissor-lift and loved both. But I like to begin from scratch and research what is new and see if that is a better fit for for my today needs. And, yes, I am going to completely remodel that garage. To be honest, I am kind of liking the 2-post BendPak GrandPrix GP-7LCS. https://www.bendpak.com/car-lifts/two-post-lifts/gp-7lcs/ It is only 106.5" tall (about 8'10") so that leaves me 14" of ceiling clearance which I like. What do you guys think or recommend? It will of course be a lot of work, but in the end should be really nice. Thanks, Michael |

All good information here, thanks to all for sharing. Currently I am using a HF scissors lift and am somewhat shopping as the scissors has limits. My gut is thinking a decent two post, probably Bendpak or similar.
