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!

Maxjax is a great option if you like/need to work seated and want a more robust installation. If you're ok with working on your back, the QuickJack is much cheaper (about half) and simpler (no concrete testing, roll the lifting units out of the way when not needed, etc.). The EZ-car lift is also nicely portable, but is close in price to the maxjax and requires a drill for raising/lowering. Of course, since I've been using a QuickJack for several years, I'm partial to it for low-ceiling installations...but I totally agree that anything is better than jack stands. Once you get a lift...any lift...you'll wonder how you lived without it. Be safe!
