I've always wanted a 2-post car lift. The only ones I could find with the features I wanted were 12-feet tall. My garage has a 10-foot ceiling. You say no way. I say why not?
In this video, I discuss the types of 2-post lifts, explain why and where I bought the Atlas 90HSC lift, and describe how I got it home. I also unpack the lift and get ready to install it. Part 2 coming soon!

its a bit dramatic but thats what makes it fun. i installed my lift 3 weeks ago, a forklift would have been useful but not critical. a pry bar and some broomstick lengths make moving anything a breeze. i would have have had them drop it on the road and drag it in.

Did you measure the thickness bog the concrete? And what was the lift manufacturers recommendation for the florr thickness

Could you have loaded the lift diagonally in the truck?

No, because of the width of the packaging frame.

Does the door not hit the post? Or is your garage deep enough to not even come close to the post?

Yes, the door stops several feet short of the posts.

The beams on top of lifts are literally nothing but to hide cables. They don’t do any support to the lifting posts.

What prompted the preference for the “super symmetric” arms? TIA

@CliffsGarage 4 жыл бұрын

Basically, more flexibility. I use it to lift everything from lawn mowers to 15-passenger vans, so I like being able to make both arms long or short as needed.
