All,

I am rebuilding the garage, very small NE garage 19' x 10' and about 8' clear.

I am thinking about installing a 2 post lift where each post would be against the walls, out of the way.

I am concerned about the safety of these lifts, I would only be putting 914s or 911s on this lift.

1. Is the anchoring of the pad sufficient to keep these from tilting (forward/back)?
2. How deep do the anchors need to be placed into the floor? Very little detail on web sites.
3. Are there any preferences as to vendors? I have been looking at this one:

My requirements are that the lift be as small (footprint) and safe as possible.

THANK YOU ALL TEENERS!
