Looks great. Did you also have to bolt the posts into the floor?

Looks great! How often do you take the T out and move the lift up/down?

Congrats!! Looks great. I was looking at the Atlas myself, specifically the 408-SL or Garage Pro 8000.

Any special requirement/cost for the shipping? And did you install it yourself?

How high are the posts on the Atlas? I have an Nsx first gen. I store on mine. I think it's only 46 inches high so you can easily fit cars depending on what you have to stack.

4 post lifts don't have to be bolted down. In fact, mine came with these cool cantilevered casters where the lift can literally lift itself off the floor and you can roll it around!

I have a Direct Lift Pro Park 8S, which the Atlas is based on. The posts are 81 1/2" high.

I don't have a similar picture with my 911 yet, but if anyone was wondering what you could fit in a garage with 10' ceilings...

They are incredibly secure once you get them balanced. I have to shim one of mine just a small amount and not have no intention of bolting it down.

What was the rough price including shipping/installation? I think the Bendpak I was looking at was around $4k? Just need to work some more magic to fill the spot on top

I got a Dannmar, who is owned by Bendpak for under 4k. It fits better in tight spaces, wasn't as long as the bendpak model.

I have lift envy looking at all your pics... 3 bay garage, but 1 bay has the bikes, etc... Porsche and Tesla inside. Audi and Honda outside. Ceilings too low for a lift ☹.

Mine with all accessories (drip trays, low profile aluminum ramps) was about $4500. That was a Bendpak HD9, delivered and installed.
