Default Four cars in a two car garage??

I have a Bendpak HD 9 unit which I like a lot - but I would like a double lift if possible...and I really don't have the room to move around in the garage with two four post lifts? I saw the cable units...interesting but expensive and haven't seen installed as yet. Any one with one of these or interesting installs out there to accommodate four cars in a two car garage?

What are “the cable units”?

This is what Bendpak recommended to me.

it has a wide footprint, but this will handle your '4 in 2' needs. wildfire also has a double wide.

Love you guys and your clean garages...I was just in mine getting ready to put down fertilizer and was just happy to negotiate the spreader around and between all the bikes without touching my GT car Right now my pull down ladder (along with shelving on the opposite side) precludes me installing a lift.

Install two single-post lift opposite each other so there is minimal clutter in-between. One car parks front-in and the other the opposite. I did this with my 3-car garage but you get the point...

I looked into the double lift (that is, one lift with two cars on top and two underneath) but decided I was going to hate life needing to move three cars to drive one of the top ones

I’m trying to figure out the same issue, four cars in a two car garage. Do you have a picture of your garage and dimensions? I can probably squeeze two hd-9s in mine but it would super tight. A single post lift is interesting but i don’t know what to do with my hd-9..
