Had the Universalift3 installed last week and have been using it for the past few days... Works as advertised... So I'm very relieved! Very solid as well... Only problem is that the safety locks only begin about 4 feet up, so anything lower and you're at risk if the hydrolics fail... That...

The Universalift 3 that I will get in April is rated at 8k lbs.... It will be silver/grey and blue... My $0.02 -Chuck

I felt the same as you and ended up ordering a Universalift 2 with red arms as I really like the lift for my narrow, fairly high garage. Unfortunately, they were having a real problem getting red arms, so I agreed to wait until mid April and the next iteration of the Universalift in silver &...

Thanks for your comments! Now that I've found more threads about not anchoring a 2 post lift near joints, cracks, etc... I'll keep the anchors at 6 inches from any of these.. -Chuck

I appreciate the responses! A couple of comments.... •Pmiranda- Ceiling has a 6 foot gap in the middle that opens to the roof and would easily fit 10 ft. high posts. •Falcon67- Saw that one before... it would put the outside anchors on the seam next to the foundation.. I'm checking with...

I think you're right... If I take a cabinet down I'll gain 20 inches in width... Thanks, -Chuck

Thanks for your responses so far... I'm limited on width due to cabinets on the walls... Thanks again! -Chuck

First time I've posted here... I am.looking for a 2 post lift that will fit in my 12 x 20 ft garage... I can fit post up to almost 10 feet high, but really need a width of about 100 inches... The Danmar Max jax looks OK, but I'd really like to have more than a 48 inch rise! I really liked...
