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: https://www.toolots.com/two-post-car-lift-l...#productDetails My requirements are that the lift be as small (footprint) and safe as possible. THANK YOU ALL TEENERS!

The Maxjax works with the 3” pad extension for 2 cars.My ceiling is 98” tall with plenty of room. I would recommend using the epoxy anchors. Whoa, very, very cool - exactly what I thought about- dream garage! Couple of comments. there is a Craig Smith Lift shop up in southern NH. No sales tax. I don't like the 911 on a two post lift...its really tail heavy and you can easily lift the front end off the lift points with one hand....makes me scared. I ended up with a drive on lift, works great. You may want to take a look a those also. Or, possibly a storage facility?? Rich |
