Default Some "Shop" questions.

Good Morning, and a Happy Sunday to all.
Moving to N.C. complete.
Now it's time to BUILD A MAN CAVE.
First question is "LIFT" suggestions.

Does a 3/4 lift exist?
Maybe a full lift with a "Limiter"?

Anyone want to post some photos?

As a one-time (long ago) flat rate line mechanic, I'm kinda familiar with regular SHOP LIFTS.

What do you have at home?
Not looking for dual level storage of cars.
Looking for a lift capable of Corvette, Toyota Camry, maybe an early S-10 4X4 capacity.

Easy to work under for Clutch (truck), and all other general under-car type stuff.

Thanks in advance.
p.s., shop coming along nicely. Chaos slowly going away.

The lighted 'tent' in the night shot is what I'm coming FROM.
Got some 'Wall Art'.
Found some NASCAR neon lights, picking them up next week.
YAY

Check out the "garage journal" forums. Great website. I've done a lot of inconclusive research into lifts.

Maxjax is a mid lift. A few members here have them.

Roddy13, thanks, but I tried to register for that forum, and the "Human Verification" isn't working. ugh. I'll try again later.
I have, however, found some 'Dealers / Vendors, here in the Charlotte area.
I'm going to speak with them.
I like the thought of working with a 'Local' dealer.

2 post lifts work really well for working on stuff, but you need minimum 4 inches of 3k psi concrete to bolt to.
