Installed a new Car Lift in our Garage

Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары

We just installed a car lift in our garage to take advantage of the high ceilings and to reclaim some garage storage space. If you are in the Chicagoland area and looking for someone to do a lift and high garage doors let me know. What do you think?

    Should have gotten a backyard buddy, Advantage, wildfire, IMO cheap C frame lifts are a waste of money, damn scary when they get any type of defection or warping especially since you didn't mount them in the floor... eek! Dealer tech used them for years, I would never allow one in my home ever. Notice why all the big 2 & FCA now have fully boxed frames on the trucks same reason much stronger design, you paid more for less. You never discussed the hydraulic flow limiter nor does it list it on their website.

    I changed the page to Windy City but probably still a violation in your eyes. If I listed my home city it would not be as catchy. Who cares?

    Why not just go with a 2 post lift?

    For prolonged periods, having a car on a 2 post lift is bad for the suspension bushings because it is not meant to hang freely for a long time.

    Informative. However, camera movements are too fast (nauseating) and sound quality is bad in certain parts.

    When you order the lift you tell the lift company what types of vehicles you have (by height), how high you want them off the floor and they build it for you. It incorporates the deck height of each track and what weight you want supported. (In case you upgrade or downgrade to a heavier vehicle later.
