is a small surface unit. Lift spec is 39".
While we're on this uplifting subject: I need a 4 post lift, for stacking
parked cars. We are building a new house and there wasn't room for a big
garage at the house, so I convinced my wife I could live with a small one
for a year or two and then build my garage mahal (a stolen term, sadly not
original) IF I got a lift in this one. We put scissor trusses in for the
garage roof (same cost as flat trusses) so I have plenty of headroom. Had a
good slab put down, too (6", lots of rebar, 4000 psi).
So. . . what should I buy, oh combined wisdom of the list?
