considering a 4 post lift, but i'd need it installed- any recommendations for installers in east central florida?

Usually the people selling them will also install.

I was able to find a local company in Atlanta that services lifts (consumer and commercial). They charged $100 to pick up the lift from the freight depot and deliver/unload it plus another $500 to install (including hydraulic fluid). Well worth the money as there is no way I could have handled the 500 lb plus ramps. It took two guys several hours to install. I had an issue with one of the air valves and they contacted BendPak for me and replaced the part under warranty.

You need at least 3 other good size guys to help put it up. I did mine & really wasn't that bad. It took me about 4 hrs from stary to end but this was from none of us having done one before.

I did mine with 2 other guys, the only help needed was the ramps which 3 or us carried all right but the one with the ram under it is really much heavier. Other than that I was able to handle the entire install myself taking about four days as I only worked on it when I wanted to. I did it myself because I didn't want the installers scuffing up my newly epoxied floor. It works perfectly and really isn't that hard.

There is a Direct Lift retailer on Hwy 50 in Orlando. Not sure if they will go all the way to Merritt Island but they may or know of someone.

I did a Direct Lift and when I called them, they gave me the local distributor/ installer. About 2 years ago it cost me $2,500.00 delivered and installed VS the lift cost of about $2,100.00.
There are quite a few manufacturers and I have only done this lift, but I am very happy with it to date.

Question for 4-post lift owners. Do the lifts have a fill in between the tire ramps? On the picture above for example, is there anything to protect the C7 in the event the Camaro has a fluid leak?

Also, is that an aftermarket rear spoiler on the C7?

LisaVette98

I had the same lift as the one above. There are plastic panels that you can place between the ramps to catch any fluid leaks. I had a huge garage at the time so rarely had to store over/under. Miss that garage...and my lift!!!

How high is your garage ceiling? What about the doors and opener?
Thanks

It has (4) full width plastic trays 18" wide and a couple inches deep that can be located anywhere, plus a heavy duty steel one that can be used to jack the car up to remove wheels etc.

That is the standard Z/51 spoiler.

My garage is 10'-10" high. I had to have the door track raised and installed a lift master door opener, which is located on the left end of the shaft that rolls up the cables to lift the door -this picture has my 84 Z/51 that I sold when I bought my 15 Z/51 -quite a bit of change in 31 years!

Mine had 2 big plastic protects that will MORE than cove the motor area, then one for the trans area. Then also mine had a really good size METAL one than can be used for like a jack to jack up one side to pull a wheel off.
