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!

When I turned 50 I petitioned for a rack. I chose a full lift 2 post rack from a car show special price. It was the best thing I could have done to keep wrenching. I use it constantly. I've had my 914 on the rack for the last 8 months. It's gone up and down maybe inchs at a time to get it to the exact best height to make it the easiest on this old body. i can't even raise it all the way up because I have a 9 ft ceiling. But I use rolling seats. It works for me. 20+ times a day I'm adjusting the height. It's a lifesaver.
