Yes, sort-of portable. Just unbolts from the floor and you can move it around and out of the way (IMG:style_emoticons/default/aktion035.gif)

Did you have to reinforce/ rep our the garage floor to a deeper than standard floor slab to mount the lifts?. It looks like there is a different pour by the stands. How high can you get the car off the ground?

I only have a 9 foot ceiling in my garage, but I'd love to get a lift like this.

Yep, I cut out a 4' x 4' pad and dug it out to 10" deep and pinned it to the existing slab, poured 4000 psi concrete. About 48" lift

About 9' to the joists

No swinging the pick axe for me. All the cement work was done last May before I had my back surgery and I hired a contractor to do the cement pour. I waited about a month after the surgery before I did anything so I wouldn't mess the back up. Still not lifting anything more than about 20 lbs. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/hissyfit.gif)

This lift is "Cat's Ass" (IMG:style_emoticons/default/w00t.gif) I can sit in a low office chair and roll around under the car and have clear access to everything. Now I just need to do some actual work.

I got it on sale for $2100.00 with free shipping. I picked it up at the local freight company and they put it in the back of my truck. I used a chain hoist back at home to lift it off the truck bed.

The 2 post lift is great. I have one here and I could never go without one. Mine has cables that connect the 2 posts. I have the one where you have to drive over a ramp that protects them. The other option was to have them overhead. I see your hydraulic hose going to the ceiling and over but no steel cables. I wish I had chosen the overhead cable option. I never saw the style you have.

Grab some used rolling office chairs, Take the backs off and get the one's that can go up and down. Great for working under the car.
