Its a Hanmecson 10VSM. I ordered it along with the ProParks from Best Buy Automotive Equipment http://www.bestbuyautoequipment.com/Hanmecson_10_VSM_10_000_LBS_2_POST_car_lift_p/hanmecson10vsm.htm. Since I was buying three lifts, I was able to get a price break for the lifts as well as a...

In the picture, you can see the release handle which is next to the motor, along with the rod which goes across the crossbeam to release the lock on the other post. There is similar mechanism on the front of the lift as well to release the locks on the other posts. They are connected together...

I recently installed the PP8 Standard and PP8 Plus both which were certified. It was between the PP's and the Bend Paks but I never went to a show room to see either lift. My decision was based on cost and recommendations from other people. The installation was pretty easy, the hardest part...

The dimensions depend on the length of the cars you collect and your lot. To maximize car storage with easy access to all the cars in 1200 square feet, I would also recommend the 24x50 foot garage and have 4 garage doors. If 15' was the absolute roof height, and style wasn't important, just...

I have radiant floor heat in my 22x46 garage and its great as the concrete isn't cold if you are on the floor. And if you bring in a wet car, the concrete drys faster. But if I lived in a region which needed A/C, I probably wouldn't have used it as you would need extra $$$ for two separate...

I couldn't build at my house either, so I looked for industrial property for a while. Unfortunately it was all pretty expensive, hard to get to, plus I couldn't figure how to make money with it as I would have used the all the space for myself. So I ended up buying a small house on a huge lot...

I just installed the Pro Park8 and PP8+ in my garage. They are well built and mine have the ALI Certification sticker. With the flow restrictors and ladder locks, I feel pretty safe while underneath the lifts. The ceiling height where the 8s is located is between 10'6" to 11' and provides...
