Very nice and tidy Jamie, looking good. I only got half way though my garage tidy up and then got busy at work and never finished it.... Need to take some inspiration from yours and finish it off! Thanks

Another option is to get industrial sized quality jacks and put the car on Esco stands, which I have already. I think they go up to 24 inches high. The more I think of that the more it makes sense.

Scissor lift does look easier to install. Anyone done any research in NZ? I note a couple of options on Trademe - China Made.

John. Paul can chime in here for NZ. Ive done a fair bit of building here (6 residential homes) and we would typically slab at 100-125mm with mesh reinforcing. Never less than 100mm (4") depending on load/useage. MPa probably more important than thickness truth be told. My guess is that you would have a 100-125mm slap in your garage and that it will be steel reinforced. Lift takes maximum load 2800kg but your car is half that so well within working perimeters. Providing the stud patter, bolt/fastening specs and gross weight of vehicle and lift to an engineer (may be one amongst us on here should quickly conclude if 100mm slab is sufficient for this product and application. Im fairly certain you will find you are ok...

Im not an engineer but skimming a floor with cement to bring to 120mm is not a solution here. Plating the top surface with steel may be an option to spread load...

A great day. Thanks to Doug for suggesting it. I did four Playday sessions and 30 laps racing. I'm knackered, in a good way.
Our day started early with BB2 and BB iced up because they were outside. Air temp in first Playday session was 3C. Cold dense air and dry are worth the frigid start.
With BB2 I recorded 1.24.97. The fastest I had done before was. 1.26.26 in the Grinch at the one hour masters. Neil did the fastest time in BB2 that day of 1.25.73. I will neatly write my name in white pen

With the R I took it easy at first. The best way to describe it is 'alive'. It wants to turn and I need to learn how to keep it straight. 1.19.56 was my best time today and is the fastest I have driven myself at HD. It definitely has more in it, however I want insurance, track pads and track rubber to make it workable. Best Vmax was 202km/hr which is starting to feel a tad fast.

That was the one I was looking at. The critical part is the floor. Apparently the concrete must be steel reinforced and at least 4.5 inches thick. At the extreme you might have to cut out a strip of garage floor and re-lay the concrete. My house was built in 1982. I might be lucky, however I'm guessing this might be an issue. Then again a personal install lifting 911s may have a lower loading as they are rated to lift a vehicle heavier than a Cayenne. Not much point lifting a high vehicle in a low garage roof environment. The other option is to build a new garage on the car pad....now it's getting a tad silly...

For what I want to do and the height of my garage this is what I'll look at doing.

The whole threads worth a read with more pictures earlier but from page 7 gives you an idea of the install.
Great thing about this way is its discrete, you can take it if you leave, doubles as a height adjustable bench and best of all the "munchies" table for when the mates come round for a BBQ

Tony was seeing a guy in Mt Wellington today re garage hoist options. He has a building project coming up which will hopefully allow a bespoke solution.
Will check in and see what he was recommending.

Hoists are great as opposed to scissor lifts but more in a workshop IMO than in the family garage. The scissor lifts I like as they're not two whopping great big steel posts in your garage all the time and virtually do most if not all a 2 post hoist will do. The big factor with hoists is ceiling height limitations.
