      Finally got the only pic to upload. I was happy to be getting the engine together. The lift is awesome!! Although I had to weld a "pull point" bracket on the front to drag a non running car on, works quite well!

      Home Garage Lift

      Looking to put in a home garage lift - any recommendations?

      Any preference of 4 posts (ramps) over 2 posts lifts?

      Thanks

      best money I ever spent!! even better than nitrous!! I bought a two post. rated for 9000 pounds. When I finally saved enough to build a separate shop, I built it with enough height to put my 2 post in. good luck with decision. You won't regret it!!

      If you want portability, look at the MaxJax lift. I have had one for a few years and it has been a great lift. it does have some pro and cons though.... it only goes up 4 feet so you need to get under the car on a roller chair, easily moveable, you can have multiple lift locations in your shop and 1 man can move the lift in 10-15 minutes. and can even be put in a corner for storage to make more room in the shop

      I have had a 4 post for the past 20 years and love it. With a hydraulic center jack I can do anything except lift a body off frame which isn't an issue for me.

      Thanks can anyone recommend a manufacturer or vendor? Would like to put my Camaro up and my daily driver under it. What is the best height my garage should be?

      I've had a Rotary Revolution 7 for close to 10 Years. It's a 4 Post, with a Jack Bridge & Aluminum Ramps

      I chose Rotary because;
      #1 - it was Made in the USA
      #2 - Rotary's are in most New Car Dealership, so Service is available locally (even though I have never needed it)
      #3 - Kind of related to #2 - Parts Availability (if needed). If you buy a Chinese Lift and something breaks, good luck ever getting a part!
      #4 - The Local Rotary Crew brought it to my House and Installed it. This was Key, as if you buy most any other Brand it will come Truck Freight to a local Terminal, then you have to get it Transported to your house. Then you have to Buy a bunch of Beer and your Drunk friends get to put something together that you will work under and store your beauty on!

      I have 10' ceilings and get by. 12' would be ideal. Mine was delivered to my door in a freight truck. 4 of us unloaded and had it together in about 4 hours. The heaviest part was the side that also contained the hydraulic cylinder.

      If you are looking for storage I would go with a 4 post. 2 post lifts aren't really intended for storage in my opinion. I have two and four post lifts made by Direct and they are decent for the money and have better certifications than most. They are made in China but that is irrelevant to me. Don't let internet legends mislead you. Derek Weaver sells them direct and on eBay. Good folks to deal with.

      2 post here. In a 12.5' ceiling regular 3 car garage. Use it for storing a vehicle, and have done three separate body offs in 2 years. I went bendpac 10k lbs after looking at my options at SEMA. Whatever you do, buy a well known old brand, and not some offbrand chinese lift to save a few bucks. My buddy can't get any replacement parts for his chinese lift, and it is only 5 years old.

      If storage is your only use, go 4 post. But if you work on your cars regularly, a 2 post is more useful IMO.

      If money is no object go Rotarty, if you have a budget look at Atlas. My boss put on in our Midas shop and so far its been awesome.
      And they only cost $2500 pretty cool. At least in my opinion.
      Solid well made and economical. I love Rotary but $5k for a lift,,,,, out of my price range.

      Mohawk is the best, but has a price to match. It uses hydraulic lines rather than a chain or cable between the posts, and has an enormous post footprint (a good thing in a residential garage that may not have 6" concrete floors). 12' ceilings are a must if you want to stand up under the car.

      I bought two direct 4 posts from Derek Weaver in Dallas. No complaints at all and it's been a couple years. Actually planning on buying two more.

      As others have said- 2 post is more efficient for work, 4 post is better for storage.

      I will say that the lift is a little narrow- haven't had any problems but when I put the General Lee on it I wouldn't mind an extra 6" on each side.

      lift

      I went with a bend pac xpr10a. Love it! The only regret you will have is not doing it sooner. I enjoy working under the car more then above.

      x2 on the Bendpack. I've used Rotary lifts in every shop I've worked for. I did a lot of research before deciding on the Bendpack.

      ALL of the lifts mentioned are good.

      If you don't believe it just ask the guy who owns one!

      Having said that do your own research and buy the lift YOU like that fits your needs and budget.

      As said in a previous post the 2 post lifts are the BEST for working on your car and yes you can store a car on one. The four post is BEST if vehicle storage is your primary need and yes you can work on a car with one it's just not near as easy or convenient. I have a 2 post and a 4 post lift in my home shop.

      IF "I" had to have only ONE lift it would a 2 post lift without question!
