That's a big workspace!

Part of your house or a separate shop?

That's a way-overkill lift for the 928. Guessing that it will be used for other larger commercial trucks and equipment once it's broken in for the 928 project. Nice!

Cool stuff!! I have a 4 post extended height in my toy box with 84" height from the bottom of the ramps to the floor.. These lifts make a world of difference!!

Good luck with your project!!

I'm guessing you had it delivered to where you work..?
Surely that can't be your personal garage workspace...

Guessing that, when you own the company, the whole show qualifies as "personal workspace". Plus there's helpers, with one or two of the forklifts, to help with column erection and assembly. There are certain benefits to being the king.

A few clues led me to this:



If so, there's room for lots of needy 928s.

Put in lifts and about two dozen should fit, plenty of space outside for everything else.

And the added bonus of having the lift be tax deductible.....and restoration/ repair costs of the "company car" as well It is good to be in business !

Jeff,
I know how you feel - VERY ANXIOUS - to have the installation complete. I remember back nearly 9 years when my 10K two post asymmetric installation was completed in April of 2006. Makes a world of difference in so many aspects of maintenance and modification.

Enjoy the wonderful new TOOL!

For my lifts, we used a large engine hoist to maneuver the landings and such, using a backhoe is awesome. He who dies with the most toys, wins.
