Default Lift installed - Revolution lift pics

Finally got the lift installed. Once the weather breaks its time to finish the garage paint job. Lift is very high quality.

Tell me more!

1) What height do you need
2) How much
3) Where

Most importantly, how difficult is the install?

I need one.

install looks like basic assembly, running an electrical line, (probably standard 110) and bolting it into the floor using a hilty.

Total ceiling height is 11'. The clearance underneath the rack when fully raised is 5'6" in the posted picture.

Total from ground to top of vert with the 5'6" clearance is 10' 4".

You can go to Revolutionlifts.com and download a worksheet to do all measurements for your garage. It is very helpful. Also watch the video then request a brochure from them and you'll have it in 2-3 days.

Capacity is 7000 lbs, part # RFP7P000, MSRP is $3,612 before freight, installation, or any accesories. (Jan '08 price sheet). They will hook you up with your local Rotary dealer.

It is made so you don't have to bolt it in your floor but I highly recommend it. It has $417 Caster kit but after two weeks of use I would not recommend this option. I did buy the drain pan kit that is $117 for two pans that slide in guide tracks.

As for power it comes in either 110V or 220V for the same price. My 110V takes about 45 seconds to raise so I opted not to spend extra money to have any 220V work done since I had a 110V outlet 3 feet away from the control post.

Ramp clearance is no issue for the C5, haven't tried the Z06 yet but it looks like it will be fine. No need to order the extended ramps.

Installation was done in 6 hrs by 1 person (22 yrs exp). Being a novice it would be much longer and a bit harder.

Any other questions don't hesistate to send me a PM.

Looks I just had a different lift installed in my garage with 9'11" ceilings and no problems for my Vette and 69 Camaro.

That is just "over the top" to say the least!

Vetsvett,
Cabinets going up soon as the paint job is done. Was checking out some at HD and Lowe's today.

Thanks

Revolution makes the 4-post lift for kwiklift, don't they? That's what the kwiklift site implies.
