I got the Challenger CL4P9S. I'm very glad I didn't get anything smaller. I ended up pushing it against one wall, so I actually have 2 ft on one side to walk around

Big question now is I'm second guessing the size. My garage space is 11'3" wide and 23' deep, with walls on 3 corners. Depth isn't an issue because I'll take the ramps off to save a few feet. It's the width that now concerns me. It appears I'll only have 1 foot of space between the wall & each...

So I've decided on Challenger, everything is just a little more heavy duty on it. I also realized the actual weight difference is closer to 200 lbs because the CL ships with standard aluminum ramps and the BP is standard steel. That's exactly why I was cross-shopping. A few years ago I...

Hmmm, leaning the other way now as it seems the Challenger is sturdier. 1/2" vs 3/8" cable 12"x12" vs 10"x12" column base 1,850 lbs vs 1,686 lbs ship weight

Thanks guys, I leaning towards the Bendpak for the air locks. Seeing how it can be an added safety feature with kids around.

I've been watching the website and it wasn't on sale this year, damn

Snap-On bought Challenger lifts in May of 2013. I can't imagine they would stand to offer an inferior product today. And probably why it was redesigned. Bendpak is also made in China now. I believe only the power unit is made in the USA

Just saw this after posting the same question between these lifts. But I was comparing at $4100, if the CL4P9S is going to be only $3000 delivered/installed that makes it an easy choice!

I can't decide between these two, any opinions? With Challenger's 5% off Black Friday sale they are within $200 of each other, so price is not an issue.

You'll need at least a 20' box truck from them. The trucks are measured from the roof length, not the floor length.

The Sterling unit has an optional separate combustion kit for around $500. Only flammable thing I'll be doing is pouring gasoline into the tractor during the winter months. Worth $500 or no?

Ok looks like the 60k will be my pick. Why do the manufactures oversized their recommendations? GG60 3 to 3-1/2 Car Garage 600 - 800 sq-ft GG75 4+ Car Garage 800 - 1000 sq-ft Natural Gas

The entire back of the garage shares a common wall with the house. The other 3 are exterior walls.

There are two single car, and one double car garage doors. They are all the insulated type. I will heat the garage all winter to around 50 degrees. And turn it up when out there working to around 65 degrees.

Ah I forgot about the window! It's a fixed window that does not open, size is approx 70"x70" Garage doors show minimal light, I will need to add weather stripping to the service door. The bedroom cover maybe 50% of the garage. Each place was offering a different brand, they were Hot Dawg...
