Where is the jealous smiley?

Your garage is now complete.

Is this the portable lift? Full report please. Are you scheduling lift times for all your Wo rld friends?

Yes, sort-of portable. Just unbolts from the floor and you can move it around and out of the way

Nice.

Sweet. 8' to the joists?

Did you have to reinforce/ rep our the garage floor to a deeper than standard floor slab to mount the lifts?. It looks like there is a different pour by the stands. How high can you get the car off the ground?

I only have a 9 foot ceiling in my garage, but I'd love to get a lift like this.

Yep, I cut out a 4' x 4' pad and dug it out to 10" deep and pinned it to the existing slab, poured 4000 psi concrete. About 48" lift

jealous doesn't even begin to describe... glad to see somebody making it work with low clearance.

Nice set-up Paul, love the concrete work!!!

Enjoy the benefits of a lift!

Dannmar maxjax. $2299.99+shp and handling. that's a costco price.

Nice Lift! Hey how's the back? I hope you weren't swinging that pick axe!

No swinging the pick axe for me. All the cement work was done last May before I had my back surgery and I hired a contractor to do the cement pour. I waited about a month after the surgery before I did anything so I wouldn't mess the back up. Still not lifting anything more than about 20 lbs.

This lift is "Cat's Ass" I can sit in a low office chair and roll around under the car and have clear access to everything. Now I just need to do some actual work.

I got it on sale for $2100.00 with free shipping. I picked it up at the local freight company and they put it in the back of my truck. I used a chain hoist back at home to lift it off the truck bed.

Very nice, I am very jealous! I guess I will still have to crawl on my back like a upside down turtle!

The 2 post lift is great. I have one here and I could never go without one. Mine has cables that connect the 2 posts. I have the one where you have to drive over a ramp that protects them. The other option was to have them overhead. I see your hydraulic hose going to the ceiling and over but no steel cables. I wish I had chosen the overhead cable option. I never saw the style you have.

I hate you

except it is hard to blame for what I want for myself.

Grab some used rolling office chairs, Take the backs off and get the one's that can go up and down. Great for working under the car.

You don't really need a slab thicker than most garage floors for a small lift like this, my 2 post 6000lb lift only listed a 4" slab with no rebar as the minimum requirement, of course thicker or with rebar is better.

Those are nice lifts, very well built, almost bought one before I found mine used.
It will change how you think about working on your car, underneath work....no problem.

Enjoy,
Jeff

If you're on the fence about a lift and want to see how freaking easy it makes the car life...here's my evidence: http://imgur.com/a/meh8Z Worth every penny I paid for it.
