I got these little angels - its time to at least get better floor jacks.

Do you drive a car off the lift onto the rear platform? If you do that is an interesting way to utilize space. I did a similar design when I needed to move with a U-haul and 2 cars. I rented a Uhaul box van (the biggest they had) and a car hauler trailer. I drove the first car on the trailer then turned the uhaul around and drove the car off the trailer into the uhaul, then put car two on the trailer. Packed all my belongings around the car in the uhaul.

Looks like the back car is on a platform, like a pallet rack.

I got a bendpak mdx6 scissor lift that I'm happy with. Ofcourse, getting the lift isn't the end - it's the beginning. After the lift, but before the kegerator or tv screens you'll want to ditch the assortment of furniture dollies, jacks, and chunks o'wood to get a hydraulic table. I got this one from mcmaster. Expensive, but I got scared of the HF unit after reading of the flimsy knobs and hair-trigger hydraulic.

I enjoy two 4-post Direct lift Park Pros... love them

(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i122.photobucket.com-16299-1381890254.1.jpg)

This Direct Lift looks exactly like the Atlas 4 post I just installed, purchased from BradSmith in Indy for $2K. This 8K capacity lift is very well made and I'm well pleased with the whole project. I had to use a 4 post because the slab in inclined, and it will mostly be used to expand storage for my teener on top and Cayman on the bottom.

I've had this 9K# Rotary 2-post a-symmetrical installed for just over 10 years now and it has been absolutely flawless. It gets used about a dozen times or more a day 5-6 days a week without a single problem. Buy the best and cry once. . . (IMG:style_emoticons/default/shades.gif)

Thanks. It's actually the top half of a VWoA billboard with the 1972 new car line-up.
