new toy for the garage
#16
Yeah, I considered getting one. The prices are pretty low. If you buy a good floor jack, a roller, a crossbar holder thingy, you'll be out of 3-400 dollars already. May as well pay a little more and get a really useful lift
The only problem is that you need to be pretty sure you'll be staying there. Or can a lift be moved easily if you ever move to another house?

I can even put the lift into another location. I installed anchors into the floor of my buddies garage so he can use the lift when he needs it.

I installed it myself. It's pretty easy. All you really need is a SDS masonary drill(rented it from Home Depot).
I had to do more work because my concrete was not thick enough.

Once the lift is up and set on the locks you can disconnect the lines. I haven't tried it but some people have. The lines are hydraulic. It uses ATF.

You can't go wrong with having any kind of lift at home.
I plan on doing a suspension on the P-car,and a big brake kit on the M3. Both of which have been sitting around the house for a couple of years, waiting to be installed.

Just my two cents, but I would only use concrete that I knew the mix. Like 6 sack mix. The homedepot bag stuff is fine for posts, but not stuff I will be under! Also, concrete takes 30 days to cure. You should not mount expanding anchors, etc into concreet until fully cured.
Nice mid-solution though-

That is the beauty of this lift it is designed for a low ceiling typical garage.
Mine is barely 8 feet high.
