Got a Garage Lift...love it
Lost a garage bay to kids bikes and power wheels so have been eyeing lifts before winter hit so I could keep my DD inside. Looked at BendPak and Atlas and ended up going with Atlas due to lower cost and don't need an air compressor for operation. The thing literally just plugs into a 110v outlet I have in the garage and works perfect. My garage height is 11.5 feet high and the space below will fit a standard car but not an SUV. I did need to have a garage door company come prior to the install and mount the door opener motor on the wall and route the garage door rails to run closer to the ceiling.

Nice! I couldn't imagine life without a lift at this point.

Lift looks fantastic and even better with those two beautiful cars on it! Can't wait to get one of my own. Many of the homes in my area have 10 foot ceilings - looking at your pics that would be cutting it quite close for my planned use (350Z on top and 991 on bottom). Will update the wife and realtor that any new home must have 4 car garage or an 11 foot ceiling. I'm not sure which one will be more angry lol.

I would need to raise the floor in my living room by a good 1.5 ft for a lift to work. Let me ask the Mrs if she has a preferred brand of lift.

Very nice! I’m afraid if I got one, it’ll give me a reason to purchase another toy. Hmmmm, I guess I can always pin it on Santa. Cars really do fit through the chimney!.

I need to show this thread to my wife. I have a 15’ ceiling in the garage. It’s begging for a lift.
