    Bendpak 2 post lift install with Racedeck flooring

    ^^^ That is what I did with my 2-post lift. I also simply adhered the "non-loop" side of a large Velcro patch to the bottom of the lift arms where it contacts the RaceDeck floor. The lift arms and car are at equivalent levels if you will just as if there was no RaceDeck floor present.

    Having two lifts side by side 4 post and 2 post

    Here is a picture of my 2-post and 4-post lifts, side by side. Garage has a vaulted ceiling at 15-feet (affording full lift height access), and is 22-feet deep by 24-feet wide.

    Thanks for all the kind comments. It makes the endeavor all the more worthwhile.

    One of the best accessories to go with a new garage. Beer, anyone? :beer:

    So I finally finished the garage floor. All I can say is that this was a labor of love (and money for extra tiles). I ended up having to cut about 100 angled cuts including 20-degree cuts, 25-degree cuts, and 45-degree cuts to fit the various angles of the garage. Now that it is done, I am very...

    The 2-post lift is very easy to use. The angled installation give plenty of room to work on the engine bay (which is why the lift was angled, in addition to enabling full lift height when raised). Another two feet to the depth of the garage would be ideal, but I make do with the existing size...

    Well alrighty then. I pulled in my Challenger Hellcat to test the approach to the 2-post lift with the 4-post lift that was installed this week, and surprise! There is NOT enough room even with an angled approach to get the car aligned correctly with the lift angle. That is annoying. I will...

    Officially, I don't know the answer to your question. In the RaceDeck website picture galleries, there are several lifts pictured, two of which to my eyes show a 4-post lift sitting cleanly on top of the tiles with bolts holding the lift legs in place. Somewhere along the line in my research I...

    There are two ways to deal with this situation: 1) as you note, drive in straight (but at as much of an angle as I can without hitting the left rear 4-post lift leg ... it won't be straight in because there is more room than it appears in the picture), or 2) use the castors I bought with the...

    I have reached a milestone in completing the two lift bays. I have a 4 foot section at the rear of the garage left to tile, and then I have a 12-foot by 13-foot triangle to the left of the garage to complete. I am just about out of tiles (I under ordered on purpose), so I'll have to layout...

    More progress this evening. The angle cuts are a complete PITA, and significantly slow down progress. It's coming along, but maintaining the lift angle (of which I lied earlier - it is actually 20-degrees) is really causing slow progress. But, the red outline will really help steer the cars to...

    Joining Racedeck Tiles without Interlocking Pegs (**** Joints)

    Here is some progress that I have made using the technique suggested by Racedeck1. I have essentially made two floors using this technique, and I have taken pains to keep the orientation of all of the tiles the same (I didn't have to, but decided that with the orientation the same across the...

    Thank you to RaceDeck1 and Armorpoxy for your replies - I appreciate them. Are there no alternatives to "interlocking" the tiles? There are no "mechanical crimps" that can be employed between the **** joints (with a channel cut in the bottom tile structure to accommodate)? Another mechanical...

    Joining Racedeck Tiles without Interlocking Pegs (**** Joints)

    I have a situation where a two-post asymmetric lift is installed in my two car garage. The lift was set at a deliberate 30-degree angle in one of the car bays to accommodate the car with the workbench, cabinets and rolling tool chest installed. I wanted to orient my Racedeck tile in this bay...
