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!

Quick Jack is another great option. The lift sections are trapezoidal so they don’t need to be anchored to the floor and there’s no minimum concrete thickness. It doesn’t lift as high as max Jax, but the 21 inches or so is more than adequate to work on a creeper. In my opinion, there are really only two workable heights anyway....on your back or above your head. If you don’t have the ceiling height for the latter, quick jack is an easy and portable solution. I use it in my small garage and there’s an unboxing, setup, and 914 lift video in my signature...
