Parking lift/s

[///M0F01SD]

Does anyone here have one of these installed in their garage? I'm contemplating on buying a condo with a 1 car garage but refusing to give up or put my 2nd M3 in a storage unit. Any recommendations, suggestions & reviews would be helpful. Thanks to all.

Do any of your cars leak oil? I parked in a lot in NYC that
used these lifts and someone's car dripped oil all over mine.

I thought most of the storage lifts have pans to prevent that?

only thing you need to consider, other than the obvious head room needed for car lift, but the concrete is thick enough. First ask if the leasor knows. If you have the place already, drill a hole. Last, since this is a 4-leg style, the chances are much less that the floor crack anyhow. 4 inch, you should be ok, less, and you might want big footers.

Make sure that the ramps are retractable and/or detachable. Even though the actual height of the raised lift will permit your car to be parked underneath, the slope of the ramps will prohibit the 2nd car from going under it.

Secondly, I personally wouldn't say anything to the association about it. It's one of those situations where forgiveness is easier to obtain than permission. Also, if you get it, paint the whole thing flat black so that it will be less obvious to the neighbors

my uncle had one of those things, and it seemed to be awesome. the quality looked great. it also had a pan that it looked like he made.
what do they cost anyway? looks like it would be great for some small repairs too.

Rey, we stored cars like that all day and all night long at school. Never failed once, even with a bunch of retards operating the lifts.

Awww man.. its not cool to let a car sit on the lift. You gotta drive it every now and then.

I'm looking into getting a lift for the new garage, but it will be mainly for working on cars not stacking them for storage.

They are just "hobbyist" lifts. We have one at school, you can get them for around $1200 or so.

The one we have doesn't have to be bolted to the floor, that way we can move it around, or even outside, if we want.

Thanks for all the input guys. Here's a link to one of the companies I'm looking at.

I'm not quite set on them yet, but they're pretty local so I'm gonna give them a first shot. Besides I haven't purchased the condo yet so I've got sometime to go over options and choices.

I don't know what happened to their site/link. When I posted up this afternoon it was good. Also, I think that If I've got a good 10 feet maybe a little less of floor to ceiling clearance it will be OK.
