I am considering finally doing something about my limited garage/shop space at my home. The only positive thing about my garage is that I do have 11' ceilings which create a few options for adding multiple cars vertically. These are the marketing pictures from the manufacturer - made in the USA/Texas!
I am well versed in regards to the pros and cons of two-post, four-post, and sizer lifts but am intrigued by this single-post lift. Has anyone owned or have seen one of these lifts in person? My goal is mainly storage more than anything else - I have access to multiple two-post lifts for maintenance. I also like that the "post" fits nearly up against the outside wall leaving everything else open. My wife could possibly still park in the bay to the side (still)...other than limited maintenance options - am I missing something? PS: I would also be installing a Liftmaster Jackshaft opener allowing the tracks and door to be inches off the ceiling! A good friend of mine had this installed and is very pleased with it and the space saving benefits it offers. Tony |

I built one. Doesn't lift high enough to park under but that was not my goal. I just wanted something that would lift high enough to mount cars on my Celette. This a 2500 lb. Air Jack. I built it to roll around when the vehicle is lifted.
Google UNIC. I had one in my body shop. 220 volt side lift. You can lift the car and move it around easily. Here's mine. Looks scary but it works. I can't drill into my floor. I have in floor heat. |
