This is mostly going to be Cayenne and 911 storage and parking. It would be nice for maintenance on GL to be included.

Brother also have a Maxjax that has never been installed and used. He is willing to give it to me which is nice but this means I will have two pieces of equipment in my garage..
My wife's GL also fits my AC Lift w/o any issues. I have their 6.5 lift, BTW.

Any opinion on Autostacker? That’s what Bendpak told me I should get as their best option.

Can you post a pic of the final product. I have a 2.5 garage w one lift and tempted to add a second but worried it will be too tight. Would like to seek your impression with this setup if you can still maneuver by ok.

No problem

Install will be done on Wednesday I'll post pics then

It's custom..I wanted the post at the far four corners of the garage..out of the way. So they are in the corners and the structure spans to meet the cars

Very cool thanks. Where does the cross bar connect under the GL? Looks to be around the transfer case and transmission? My GL has the off road option so the under tray is steel plates which can be a challenge to move around due to weight and bulkiness.

Yes, here is a better photo. I could have backed her up another 12" - 18".

Are you having someone like Bendpak do this for you custom or did you just hire an engineer to figure it out and are doing the welding and beams on your own? I would love to do two of these that are almost identical size in my garages.

Think it was about $10k installed.

It takes some engineering knowledge to recognize how many risk factors this genius storage lift design avoids, the web site he posted will help you understand the capabilities and finished product better.
This is the classic case of "you only get what you pay for" pick your price point and I can tell you what that lift is missing.

These days the Owners / Installation Manuals are written in a way that one can sell the most poorly designed and constructed lifts without any risk to the manufacturer.

One only has to read them to know which not buy, the worst offenders only make the installation manual available on delivery.

What do you consider as issues with Bendpak HD-9. For storing 911s (from a weight perspective).
