Garage lift recommendations

[DJAM3]

I installed an Atlas 8,000lb two-post asymmetric lift. The price was around $2,200 and the product is very solid, well built, and is perfect for hobby/home use. It lifts my 5,000 lb X5 35d with ease.

BendPak was not worth the premium in my opinion.

Nice, this looks like it would barely fit in my garage. I've been considering a MaxJax but it's hard to pull the trigger after the price increase to almost 4k. Where did you order the Atlas from?

Did we just become best friends? Seriously though, this is the one area I didn't think through on my house. Garage ceiling isn't quite high enough for a post lift. I'll fix that in the next one.

lol. Solid step brothers plug. Did not go unnoticed.

I think so, after getting seeing couple silver M3's I like the color, the c63 AMG and M3 are a perfect combo as they both are very different

Looking into buying a post-‘12 c63 amg for DD as we speak! Just trying to find the right color combo/ condition

That's why I think the e39M and e46M go together so well.

I posted some pics already elsewhere, but I guess this would be an appropriate place to post pics as well😊…here’s my MaxJax 2 post semi-portable set up. Just recently finished running all of the plumbing/hydraulic lines as well. Sorry, garage was a bit messy here during the lift install.😁

I have the older version of these which my dad purchased from Costco almost 10 years ago.

Nicee! Good to see it's still getting the job done! I mounted the pump/motor on one of the towers, and then made custom lines for a cleaner install.

I've heard good things about Bendpak - their lifts seem to be pretty reliable and sturdy.
That being said, it's important to make sure that whatever lift you choose will actually fit your car. It sounds like you might need a lift with a higher clearance, so a 4 post lift with a rolling jack might be your best bet.
And hey, once you've got your lift installed, it's always a good idea to keep up with regular maintenance to make sure everything stays in tip-top shape. In Singapore, https://hinchong.com/lift-maintenance-singapore/ is one of the top companies for lift maintenance and repairs. They've got a ton of experience and expertise, so you can feel confident that your lift will be well taken care of.

I've just moved into a new house and finally have a massive undercroft garage. Car parking space is approx. 90m2 (970 square feet), while total garage area including two separate rooms is approx. 190m2 (2,000 square feet).

I have plenty of room for cars, tools, storage etc., however the only downside being the ceiling height of 2.35m (~92.5 inches). The concrete slab & steel beams are only another few mm higher, so there is effectively no gain in headroom by removing the hanging ceiling.

Given my height restriction, I've looked into the MaxJax setup, however the biggest drawback is that when lifting, the internal shaft lifts out of each column. Therefore, this option is invalid.

However, I've found locally the product linked below. Looks like it will fit my setup perfectly and will allow me to raise the M3 approx. 1m. Better than crawling under a car on the concrete floor!

I'm planning a new garage build right now, and this is all great inspiration stuff. My zoning limits me to a 700sqft, so I'm planning on doing one of the Bendpak flush-mount scissor lifts so I can keep the flexibility of storage options when not in use. As good as 2 posts lifts are for service, I absolutely hate trying to position the car properly with multiple back-and-forth adjustments until the arms fit at the right spot.

As long as car is centered between the 2 posts, leave car in neutral and adjust by hand, take an extra minute or so

I just bought a 2nd house with almost 1 acre land. Will put the house for rent now and will build a new one when I move there in the future. But plan for this summer or next year is to build a detached garage on the land. By the city regulation, the max I can build is 800sq-ft and 14.5’ height in middle of the truss.

I am looking to do a triple cars garage. 9’ ceiling on 2 bays with attic truss and one bay full height/catedral truss with a lift. Should be able to do a 34’x24’ garage similar to the one in my attachment pictures.

Since I will only do personal work and no commercial garage, I think a Bendpak is a bit overkill (and expensive in Canada it’s like twice the price!) so I am planning to go with a 9000lbs 2-posts Titan Premier like this one:

That's a beautiful garage. I would love to build something that nice, but my budget is likely going to land on steel buildings. I've been looking up people who dress up steel buildings with wood, siding, accessories, etc. If anyone has any aesthetically pleasing steel buildings I'm all ears!
