thank you guys for your input :) So I thought over this and I came to the conclusion that a single post or one of these short scissor lifts actually seem to be the best options. I’d not have to perform any concrete work and they both don’t take up that much space as a 4 post does. And I...

I thought of another option, to cut out a bit of concrete like, 1/2 ft deep, pour a new slab there and put in a self standing two post lift. These are pretty common here in Europe and only need to be bolted to not tip over. They are able to stand and lift on their own steel frame. But just a...

Ah yes, now I see :) BUT my ceiling is about 8 ft without any door parts on top :(((

Did you post a picture? It doesn’t show unfortunately 😅 Seems like a Max Jax or a low ceiling 2 post might actually be an option but I would definetely want to have my floor checked by some specialist before. That’s the advantage of single or four post - set up an go.

Single post lifts don’t have these cables, the question is only about the structural integrity of the post itself ;)

Well I said those scissor mid rise lifts block quite a bit. And I’m really not sure about my concrete and for my peace do mind I’d have to do a whole new floor for a 2 post or a max jax. That’s why I initially stated 4 post vs 1 post. So seemingly most of you guys would favor a 4 post out of...

No room above. Scissor lifts aren’t an option unfortunately. They block even more of the undercarriage :( Well I do know that I won’t be standing - but it’s all better than crawling 😀

I’m doing regular maintenance and almost any occurring repairs on family cars. And I’m planning to buy a classic car as a just for fun. My ceiling is about 8 - 8 1/2 ft. So it’s really just about being much more convenient and safe than jack and stands tbh.

Thanks :) As I’m not willing to refresh my concrete floor, any bolted lift isn’t an option unfortunately. Do you think a 4 post lift with bridge jacks actually is a better overall choice? These lifts would fit in my garage without cutting but they need more steps to free the suspension.

Hey guys, did anybody ever cut off the top part of a lift, especially a single post or a hydraulic 2 post lift? I’m assuming it would be completely fine because the cylinder is lifting from the ground up and the lift post just serves as a rail. As long as there’s no welded or bolted top you...
