Gents,

Running out of room and I want to put in a couple of 4 post lifts in the garage in order to store my two newly purchased items. Any recommendations on Quality product. Appreciate any and all recommendations !

Thanks John

I bought mine from direct lift three years ago. No issues and have been very satisfied.

This spring I bought a Direct Lift just there basic 8000 lift.
I bought it from Loomis-Root in Buffalo NY.
They delivered and set it up for $450.
Set up took 70 minutes.
You can move it with the casters without a car on it.
I have a 68 Shelby on top and a 67 vette under it.
I use it all the time when finishing the Shelby.
I have 10'3" ceilings
There certified if it means anything .
I love mine.

What do u do with your redsplitwindow?

It all depends on how wide your garage is. My garage isn't wide enough for a a lift with a wider footprint. I bought a used standard width Backyard Buddy and it works great for my garage.

I just had a Bendpak HD-9 installed last week. I did quite a bit of research and decided Bendpak was worth the extra money over the comparable Direct 8K model. Have only used it a few times so far, but very pleased with it.

I've bought 4 from Direct Lift over the years without a single issue. I like the design of the locks (same as Rotary-in fact they are owned by Rotary).

Each time I move, the new owners always want to keep the lift and selling it to them for more than I paid for it is easier than moving it...and they are happy to pay more to have it already in place.

Don't forget, that to get 2 cars on the Lift you need a 10Ft ceiling,AND
a side wallmount Garage Door Opener....so the garage door slides all the way up to the ceiling....Otherwise the garage door will hit the Car that is up on the Lift, when it Opens....
FYI.....

Have had several Bend Paks over the years all were great with no problems. The last purchase was a Backyard Buddy due to size of foot print. In a year and a half no problems. Recommend both.

Do it once, get that Rotary!

Great point about the garage door in the up position. I was planning on an Atlas, looked at it last week. I only have 8.5 ft ceilings. Now I may have to reconsider.

Uh, not really....I moved my center-pull garage opener to one side and it works just fine on a single garage door with standard height tracks and I get two Corvettes stacked up with no door interference...10'4" ceiling...

That might be the trick to back the car onto the lift so the garage door opens over the hood. Just measured mine and I think that will work.

I also have a Bend Pac lift and I love it. You mentioned that you were looking for two lifts for four cars. When I was looking for my lift, I saw a six post double lift. The center posts were used for both lifts and it looked like this setup would use less room than two single lifts. Just a thought. Jerry

That's what I did years ago at my previous house with my Backyard Buddy.

I had my garage door tracks raised up so they are 6" from my 11' ceiling. I also installed a jack shaft opener to get it out of the way (it mounts on the forward wall). Even if you do that, your 8.5 foot ceiling is going to make stacking 2 cars difficult. A C2 Corvette is just under 50" high. My advice is to measure carefully before you buy a lift.

I purchased 2 direct lift Pro Park series 8-9 years ago after doing a bunch of homework. I have been very pleased to date, and both look and work exactly as when new. I have had many buddies see them and order as well. I would order again if needed, not saying they are better than others, but have worked great for my needs.
