I have room for a lift behind the garage that is open to the elements, but I'm curious if anybody has one in their garage that has limited ceiling height like mine.

What do you plan on using your lift for? More storage than maintenance? Or work only?
Feel fortunate that you've got almost 10'. I just installed a 2 post last fall, and only have an 8' ceiling. Need to raise my oversize 2 car roof this summer to 12'. Unfortunately, I've got trusses upstairs, so a dormer is out of the question.

I'm hoping I can do a little of everything. Alot of good posts of what some of have done. Good pics. Looks like with a little planning I will be able to make a hoist work. Out to the garage to start measuring.


thanks all

if you have a 4 post lift and want to really do it all easyer,get the jack.True you can only pull the rear or front tires at a time but works great.I have 2 backyard buddies with a jack on one.Tom
