How is it driving the bottom car over that hump? I notice in the videos they never show that car pulling in.
I could see burying it in the floor for new construction but would think its a pain otherwise.

Can you open a car door easily if you pull in nose first?
I could see how you could stop short of it if you had a deep garage, but otherwise, could be a pain if you had to back in to open the door.

if I were doing a new build I would burry the base but even with it above ground it is no big deal once used to it. I’ve had all sorts of vehicles park on the top and bottom without any problems (GT3, Shelby Gt350R, m coupe and a bunch of SUVs.

Don't know. You would need to measure your spacing between car door area and scissors to see where your car would be positioned and how wide you can open the door.

I may not go this route as it seems very new and can't find online reviews to get user perspective. Very tempting concept though. I'd probably put it on the side of my garage where I would back in so doors open to centre of garage.

My challenger lift was installed last week. $4784 installed ($850 was labor). After watching 3 guys spend about 5 hours installing it (and they do it everyday), I'm glad I didn't try to put it together myself! Much more complicated than I thought. My ceiling height is 10'0" to the light and 10'4" to the sheetrock. So as you can see in the pics, plenty of room for two sports cars. I think you could probably do it with 9'6-9'8" ceililng height if you had sports cars. They work great and it is pretty slick to get the top car off to drive (which I did yesterday). I bought it from Lift Pro in the Phoenix area and they did everything. Still need to get the electrician over to install electric plugs so I don't have charger cords hanging all over....

I have 2-50 1/2" tall cars and was told a 9' ceiling would not work with the BendPak 9000.

i am getting an Autostacker installed on monday in prep for my incoming GT3RS. it doesn't allow working under the car unfortunately, but as a storage solution, i think it will be great as it has a much smaller footprint than a traditional 4 post. i'll report back once its installed.

I have two 4 Post Rotary lifts. I think they are the best.

Looks ingenious. Let us know, particularly opening the doors.
Good luck!

I have a 4 post rotary also. Do you know if an rs will fit on it. My 458 is so wide I have to fold in the side mirrors to get the car in.
Thanks
