Nice. When we remodeled one of our houses we added a third garage bay. I wanted to put a lift in but my wife was against it. The builder was excited about designing the third bay with a lift.

Two black ones looks awesome and the reason I bought Shadow Black Dark Horse!!I’ve only had the lift for a week, but I’m glad I bought it.
What kind of lift do you got?

What is your ceiling height in there? Trying to figure out if I can fit one in my garage...I’ve only had the lift for a week, but I’m glad I bought it.

@qwk93ta ..... educate me - when we installed a similar lift in my friend's garage we drove quick bolts into pre-drilled holes in his concrete floor to fasten the stands to the floor. We had seen a video of lift where one of the legs slipped and the car flipped. It doesn't look like your lift is bolted to the floor or is my eyesight failing?

Damn, I'm jealous, have wanted this style lift for years, but garage ceilings not tall enough, so, settled for the Quick-Jack. Does the trick, just not the same.....Not sure I'd trust more than a half lift if the corner posts are not secured properly....freestanding seems very risky to me.

Congratulations on the lift; you’re really gonna enjoy it!
My garage ceiling was only 9’-3” but it was clear space between trusses overhead so I had a 32” tray built up so the top car had a place to go. Also had to install a high headroom door kit and a side mounted motor.
Mine is intentionally designed to not bolt down and be moveable. You just put the wheel dollies under the posts and roll it anywhere you want. It’s actually a selling feature of this lift. You can see the dollies up against the wall in one of my pics. If you’re worried about it toppling over you might as well worry about an earthquake taking your house down first because that’s what it would take. You couldn’t budge this thing with a Caterpillar. I’ve seen this particular one on a couple of TV car shows in daily commercial use so I figure it’s OK.
For me this has been life changing. I have a 3 car garage but I’m considering another lift already.

It’s an 8,000 pound Atlas lift. The installer said most lifts are made in China now and basically the same. That’s for home use, not sure about commercial lifts.Two black ones looks awesome and the reason I bought Shadow Black Dark Horse!!
