How high does the garage door need to open to accomodate the lift and cars?

 

EDIT: NVM...I see from the post feet that you staggered two 4-posts next to each other. :) What lifts are those?

I dont see the stagger. Is it 2 lifts side by side or is it one lift with 2 hoists? I kinda see it but I want to make sure I am seeing what I think I am seeing.

 

its staggered... if you look at the middle flanges on the floor youll see it looks longer than the ones on the sides.... just one in front of the other...

Cool. I had been reading up on the BYB and BendPak fight...I think either option is good for what I'm looking to do (less than 4,000lb vehicle on it ever, storage and service in a 2-car garage). Thanks for the info.

 

People complain on the price of lifts, but here's something to consider:

 

Assume 4-post lift costs $2600. Storage for one vehicle runs $30/mo, and that's cheap. You've paid for the lift cost within 8 years of owning it, let alone the fact that you could always sell the lift if need be...AND that's not considering the time savings in doing work on your car AND the health benefit of not wearing out your back and joints as much!

Yes, two lifts one in front of the other. They are the extended heighth models, which still allow my Trailblazer to fit underneath. A two post lift would be better for working on the cars but I didn't have enough width in the garage for one.

Maybe you could work up a monetary value on that and then we can use it to talk Rob into buying a lift ;)

Isn't V8KILR a chiropractor?

 

How much for a back alignment every year? Hip/knee replacement? It's chaos theory at this point, because you can go into lots of "quality-of-life" questions that you can't put a price on.

 

Dammit, I need to have this conversation with my wife. :)

 

EDIT: You don't want Rob getting a lift. If he's good the way he is, he'll have to justify the expense of a lift by amortizing the cost over all of his clients. You don't want to pay more for his good work, do you? ;)
