4 Post Lift dealer/installer in the Nashville, TN area?
I'm thinking about purchasing a 4 Post lift and was wondering if anyone had any experience with companies in the Nashville area? I'd love to have it delivered and installed since I won't be in town very long...any info would be appreciated. Thanks

I used Garage Equipment Supply to purchase my lift.....They contacted manufacturer and set up my install. Total cost here in Baltimore 800 for delivery and install. Glad I let them do it they needed (and supplied) a forklift to unload from their trailer and to position the runways. Good luck with your search....

Thanks for the info...I appreciate it. Do they have local stores or do they set up the install with someone and then ship the unit to them, so they can bring it and put it up?

I asked around a lot and everyone kept recommending Bend Pak. I contacted Bend Pak about what I thought I wanted and they set it up with Garage Equipment Supply. GES quoted total cost then went back to Bend Pak about local installers. I believe BP contacted installer for quote on install cost. GES then called me with total including install. It took 2 guys a little over 5 hours start to finish but they install about 10 a week. The stuff is heavy and awkward. It could be moved with an engine hoist but ya better have a real good knowledge of rigging. If you are planning putting a newer model Vette on it trade up for the extended ramps when you order.....Good luck....

Thanks for this insight. That sounds like a great deal for both delivery and installation.
Did this require modifications to your garage door? Although I have the height in the garage, I would also need to rework the lifting of the garage door.

I have 10 ft ceiling height and the building is 32 ft long.I just shifted the lift forward a little and still have room for a workbench/shelving unit. My garage door tracks are close to the ceiling but if I needed to they could go up a little but everything clears as is.
