Default Found this parking lift--WANT!

Discovered Autostacker a week ago or so and coming back to the idea. Need community opinions. I don't think I can fit a 4 post and I don't want to drive up on separate platforms every single time I park.

Probably a year or two out from the investment because I'm still narrowing down used C6 or C7's. But man this would be perfect for my one car garage if it holds the weight and collapses and doesn't give me ANY grief.

Have you checked out quick jack systems? Might not get the height you want but for what I use it for at the price its perfect.

Yeah I have definitely seen Quickjack and I have to decide what I want, a thing to park or a thing to work under my car. Different purposes but man that's pretty. Autostacker or a full lift is just so I don't have to sit a car in my driveway. I think it's worth some investment to not have to do that. Especially where I live cars get messy quick.

It looks like with the autostacker you don't have the option to remove your wheels. That's a deal breaker for me.

I question if that will work in your one stall garage. Note in your u tube clip how far out the lift extends to pick up the second car. You would never get under the doorway. If you want to stack in a one car garage, I think a 2 or 4 post lift is the only option and you will have to move the bottom car to use the top car. If you are in a parking garage like the one shown then this could be an option for you. However it doesn't really allow you to work on the car.

I think it would fit, but it might be tight. But good point. Obviously, can't work with it, and someone posted his quickjack if that's the direction I wanted to go. But yeah. Downside is it's just for parking but upside is it does parking well. (As long as it works like it says.)

To fit, I think both cars would have to be all the way in the garage first. Other wise, the lift has to raise the second car above the first before it brings it over the top of the second car. A standard garage door is only 7 feet tall. If you have an exceptionally high door you might be able to make it work. Measure before you order. Good luck.

Thanks. Definitely would measure ANYTHING first.

The Corvette would definitely have to remain on the ground level! And forget it if one of your vehicles is an SUV!

Thanks for sharing, it really is pretty cool!

I'm torn between your lift and this one, I like the little higher one so I can roll around on my chair doing what ever it is

If you have a 2 car garage, why not both?

That is very cool, for the money the quick-jack serves my needs for now. That could change though..

I've actually considered the quick jack for quick stuff, and using my max-jax for more serious work.
