Default Who makes these lifts?

I was planning two 4-post lifts in a double garage but I like this style and how it would reduce the need for 4 posts in the middle of the garage (the two inner most posts on each lift).

Anyone know now where I can find info online?

I don't know who makes those, but Bendpack makes a double wide four post lift.

You made me lick my monitor with that GT2RS.

Those lifts look like Bendpak triples.

Babco sells them, I've purchased a lift from them in the past and will buy my new 4 post later this summer from them. They have a few options like these.

Most 4 post lifts are made by the same company in China and are then sold here by vendors that just slaps their won stickers on them.

good for storage, but solid floor doesn't let you work on the car, not even opening for a jack to change wheels, brakes.

With "parking lifts", unless you lift the platform after use, you'll still have the lifting cables in the middle to watch for.

For what it’s worth, I’d suggest considering 2 post lifts if OP is trying to avoid the inside posts. That said, there would still be the extension along the floor that you need to step over when getting in and out of the car. I purchased a two post lift from Babco 4 years ago and it’s been great for me as all I wanted was a third parking spot in my garage.

Thanks, all!

Yes, I get these would not allow me to wrench on the vehicles. I have to determine whether that’s something I’ll ever realistically have time for.

Good point about something as simple as wheel swapping but none of the cars would need that until the tires are shot.

Just gathering info at this point. Garage rebuild is probably a year out.
