Has anyone had experience with Anvil products on a garage floor ? Specifically their Epoxy Show Coat and Gator Grip. I've run across a good deal on the stuff but as y'all know it's not a deal if the stuff don't last.

I installed a Weaver W-Pro10 Black in my new garage last fall, great lift, had a Direct 8000 lb. in my old garage, nice but the Weaver is surely nicer. Three stage front arms are the way to go, easy to lift my small sports cars or my truck. BTW, been around (or under) lifts for many years during...

The drawers feel solid, no wobble when fully extended, smooth slides, they are not self closing but have a detent you can feel when they reach the fully closed position. The inside depth of the shallow drawers is 3", the deep drawers are 6.5". I was already storing my deep sockets laying down in...

Just finished installing Saber cabinets in my garage.

I recently installed the W-Pro 10 you are looking at in my garage. Best I could find for my purposes, I have sports cars and a pickup. This lift can be used symmetrically for the pickup and asymmetrically for sports cars, 3 stage front arms are the way to go. I had a 8,000 lb Direct Lift at my...

My builder's garage door guy would not install 8900w's for me, said I had to have 8500 for residential. He installed 8500's after I told him (in writing) do not install any openers, he removed them and I installed 2 8900w's myself. Both doors are 9x8 high lift, openers work great, only been in...

I am currently finishing up the install of a Weaver W-Pro 10 lift in my garage, I chose this lift due to it's wide drive thru dimension, low minimum pad height (3 5/8"), and arms that can be used symmetrical or asymmetrical (3 stage front arms). This lift is also certified. I had an 8.000 lb...

Thanks to all. I was wondering if the MJ line might be overkill, my doors are 9 x 8 x 1 3/8 steel insulated. Does anyone have experience with the LJ8900W from LM ? How about the Zap products ? Anyone here have one ?

So I have a couple high lift 8' doors going in an attached garage at the house I'm building. These doors need jackshaft operators but I don't want 8500's. What are my alternatives ? Is there any reason not to use commercial operators in a residential application ? Thanks. Gerry

As a data point, I used 1800 kwh during the month of January, and it was a cold January with many single digit and negative degree nights. First stage ran pretty much constantly with the second stage coming on once in a while, third stage (resistance) never comes on. I have a 4 ton Water...
