Shop lift

[timmbuck2]

Anyone put a lift in their shop? I am getting tired of rolling around on the ground wrenching on my junk. OK not the best turn of phrase but anyone install a lift in their shop? Wondering about retrofitting one, safety, etc.

Thanks all

I used these guys to install mine, they did a great job.

I choose this lift with the “shockwave” technology. I like that it didn’t require 220v.

The Rotary SPOA10 two post lift is the world’s best-selling asymmetrical lift that sets the standard for performance and productivity in shops across the world.

biggest thing is determining the thickness of your concrete floor. You may have to cut a section out and re-pour to support a lift properly. Beyond that its just ceiling height and electrical.

got one. Installed myself. Redid trusses for clearance and poured some concrete footers. Welcome to see it if you want. My only regret is not doing it earlier.

The atlas 9K 2 post I have in my shop only required a 4" slab of 3000 lb concrete according to the installation instructions. I still poured in monolithic 36 x 36 x 12" deep sections when I poured my shop floor. I have had this lift since 2013 and have no issues with it.

I've got a 4-post lift that can even be put on casters and moved around. It's a game changer having one (and frees up floor space when you store a vehicle on it). Just started a knuckle rebuild on it yesterday, in fact.

I bought one of these a few years ago from Amazon, Titian brand, $2200, self installed. Works amazing. No regrets.

I might need to see this one in action!
