I was looking at this one last week. If I can figure out how to get 220v to my garage, I'll be all over it.

Any thoughts on the Ranger QuickJack?

http://www.bendpak.com/Shop-Equipment/QuickJack/

I know it's not out yet, but I'm pretty tight for space and this looks like it's both built better than the EzCarLift and still compact and stackable.

Saw this on Craigslist today...I'm wondering how tough of a fix this would be. The price is right!

A bit envious of all the large garages (filled with expensive 4-wheeled toys). I am a bit tight on garage space myself, so when I decided to get myself a birthday gift a few years back for my small fleet of toys, I picked up one of the Danmar MaxJax portable 2-post lifts when they had a sale price. A bit pricier than some of the full size lifts, but allows me to fit it in my small garage, and still gives me 48" of lift to work off a creeper (or my knees) with.

Attached is a picture with my Alfa GTV on it (the 914 was away in my winter storage location when the picture was taken).

Bendpak HD-9--About 3k, and I was able to install myself, it really isn't that difficult (as long as you have a couple of stout friends come over to lift the ramps into place). Sorry, this is the only pic of the lift with the 914, it hardly ever needs the services...

You appreciate a good lift as you get older. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) By the way, there are some really nice lifts in some even nicer garages out there. Lookin' good. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/first.gif)

I'm thinking of buying an Atlas BP8000 2 post lift from Greg Smith Equipment. $1495.00 plus shipping.

http://www.gregsmithequipment.com/Atlas-BP8000

Anybody have one? If so how do you like it?

The QuickJack looks like a pretty nice solution. And I've been trying to convince myself I can't live without the MaxJax for about a year now...

I too am envious of all the cool lift and garage combos. so cool

I have an Atlas that I purchased from Greg Smith Equip. but it is not the model your looking at. I did not have a restriction on height, but none the less I do like the Atlas lift. I installed it myself in about a day and it is very stable.

Bendpak HD-9. Great for storing the 914 as well as working on the other cars.

If I had the room I would have gotten the extra tall version. I think it's 3ft longer and would not have fit very well, but it would have allowed me to store the car without having to duck my head all the time.

I have a Nussbaum SPL900 (made in Germany) but I'm too embarrassed to show a pic of the shop right now.

They have gotten pretty pricey since I got mine 7 or 8 years ago, probably due to the weak dollar. If you happen across a used one, they are very well made and parts are available.
