That would be perfect. I don't have the material or tools to build that without having a few hundred $$ into it. I hope to find something similar 'off the shelf'.

I have a 12'w*7't door with a chamberlain side mount. I would think you can put a side mount motor on practically any size door.

Hi, I have a Bendpak HD-9 4 post lift and a very low profile car that will not go up the ramps without hitting (bad). I have the standard 3' ramps that came with the lift. I know you can buy the 4' extension ramps for about $400, but since I have a 1.5" (or so) drop at the garage door and the...
