this is common in Canada for townhomes where garage door is the only access to the garage. that being said, there is always a manual latch to disengage the garage door open from the door itself (both from inside and outside garage) and as the door is spring loaded, can easily be lifted by even...

I found I couldn't see the mirror well enough from the distance I had and I lacked the room for a bigger mirror. I ended up buying a dual camera baby monitor. That way I can put them anywhere and fairly close to see the tire alignment. It's not perfect as they generally don't have a wide angle...

I have the BP double wide and can confirm that it's a hassle to clear out all the space below in order to drop the lift. 2 singles are more convenient for frequent usage but the center post can be a deal breaker for some setups.

OP, as much as you lament how small your current garage is, you can also consider yourself fortunate as it could be a lot worse. my house was built in 2003 and has a 17'x 19'8" garage. this is considered a 2 car garage in my area. i'm green with envy at the standard 24x24 garages in the US. i...

i have a bendpak swx. the double wides generally seem to be for people who have limited space. if you have the space 2 individual lifts or the twin lift with single middle support would be nicer. i would have gone with this if i had the space. i know it's a hassle to clear out the whole...

one lower priced alternative may be the j5h rolling jack from PEAK. this looks pretty much like the RJ4500 except with sliders instead of rollers. if you have smooth runways like the newer bendpaks, this might work for you out of the box. it is meant to slide on the runway faces instead of the...

if you are local and looking for a lift, you owe it to yourself to visit their plant. it's also their sales showroom and you can see a good number of their lifts up front and personal. it's great if you are a picky and technically knowledgeable buyer as you can see their fabrication quality and...

You can check out the liftsuperstore.com. I'm not sure about where they source their materials but at least in the Ontario location, they do manufacturing in their plant in Oakville. Might not be USA but it's North America.

i have a 8x14 shed-woodshop and would very much agree with this. once you start working in it, you'll end up changing a lot of things to improve your efficiency. i'd try to leave things as flexible as possible.
