Oh man. I just emailed him... What would you guess I'd need to secure that to a standard Garage Floor? Is that doable on an average new house? ie. how deep the garage floors are?

Rotary specs 4-1/2 inches of concrete under a 10,000lb lift. Most houses should have that, but you really need to drill a hole where you'd put it to make sure. You drill holes in the concrete, insert Rotary's expansion mounts (they look like REAL big versions of mounts you use in sheetrock), walk the upright over it and bolt it down. It will be 220v - you just need to find out if it's single or dual phase. You also most likely need 12ft clear. Rotary sells a low-clearance that only requires 10 ft but it is doubtful that a shop would have those. $1499 is a good price depending on condition. IMO Rotary is the best there is, it's the choice of dealers by far. www.rotarylift.com has any other info you might need.
PM me if you want the name of somebody that could move it for you in the Atlanta area (no affiliation, I just know folks). Probably cost $400-$500 to get somebody to move it for you

Thanks... The owner is going to measure... My ceiling in the Garage is 11'8" If I bust through the ceiling I'll be in our Master bath, My wife would be thrilled!

Nice! With that I see more garage sessions at Dave's.

If you need help picking it up or installing I'll volunteer.

If you're short a few inches you could cut a 2' by 2' square out of your garage floor and dig down a foot or so and repour the concrete, tying it back into the existing slab with rebar, and it would give you the extra couple of inches...

Yep.. No more Jack giving out on us like last time

Remember too, that if you line it up right you might fit it between the ceiling joists by cutting sheetrock in the garage ceiling and sparing the Boss' jacuzzi tub above.
We're pullin' for ya. Without a lift I wouldn't do most of the work I do on my car.
