#1 Car lift

Post by PAN4213 » Wed Jun 24, 2020 11:12 pm

Hello all,

I am considering installing a 2 post or 4 post car lift to store my E type. [2 post is of less width]

My garage is of 'single car' width but with fair amount of headroom.

any recommendations for suitable lift type/ stockist?

many thanks

For storage purposes (not for working on the car) I purchased one of this style:
BendPak A6S AutoStacker
Takes up much less room than a 4 post.
I have a 2 post for working on the cars...

For storing a car long term you really want it sitting with its weight on all 4 wheels.

So a traditional 2 post hoist really isn't what you need.
