Has anyone ever put there 914 on a Mid-rise lift. It's the type that only goes approx, 48" high. How stable did it feel? Would you perform light motor work on it or pull a 914 trans? Really looking for strong opinions on this so anything goes.
The pic should give you some idea of what I am talking about. Attached image(s)

Well I got it installed and working great this weekend. As a update to the question Arron had asked how much was it, After I had made the decision to order from a company on Ebay. I still was checking the FS adds and what do you know a like new lift in OC was for sale. It happens to be the same name brand makers as the two-post lift I have already. After talking and getting to know the person on the phone he sent me pictures and I sent him a paypal deposit.
So for 1200 bucks I got a great lift and some very well made and very helpful ramps that you will see later in the pics,. Let me just say this lift has exceeded all my expectation. It is more stable than my two post lift and goes higher than I will ever need (51 “) with the optional truck adapters. It's easy to move around if you have level concrete if not don’t plan on going to far with it. What is great and the reason I went with it is so I didn’t loose any space inside the garage. Its so small it fits under the car completely hidden. The ramps I got where a great Idea from the PO who owns a show car NSK. (Add 1 hour to our conversation). The ramps make it a lot easer to get over the lift that is 4 ¾ above the ground. I would say for most the ramp will not be needed but if you are going to drive the car over the lift daily as a parking spot it takes the stress out of lining yourself up to pull over the lift and it gives you more clearance on lowered cars. As you will see from the pics, the lift is high enough that you can very comfortably set on a rolling chair and keep your back straight with no problem, I had a guy who is 6’2 try it and he also has no problem setting under it. Yes I can drop a motor, trans and front suspension with no problem. Questions are welcomed. Have a great day. Attached image(s)
