in the midst of installing an Peak/AMGO 409-HP. pretty solid right now, the platform with the piston was ridiculously heavy. will know more about it when i hook up power and run hydraulics.

Stupid question: For those screwing on outlets onto their lift posts, what did you use to drill out the hole through that thick metal plating? Any special bit or will a standard carbide work without much slipping? Did you guys use self tapping screws afterwards or nut/bolts? Thanks

Likewise, CA glue with accelerator is what instantly came to mind. https://instantbond.com/ I use this all the time for wood trim.

I ended up with the Peak 408-HP. It's sitting in the garage and waiting to be installed (too cold right now to work in the garage)

Yup, I used this with my new concrete floor. Works well https://www.homedepot.ca/product/sika-sikaflex-self-leveling-sealant-300-ml-all-purpose-repair-concrete-cement-horizontal-joints/1000684212

Also, let me know the durability of this stuff. My garage is only a 1.5 car garage so there isn't much traffic in and out of it (other than tire tracks)

I went with Gloss. Let me know your oil penetration findings. 🙂

OP, I also sprayed down Coval Concrete. I noticed that if the floor is wet from snow/slush, it is extremely slick. Depending on your location, I tossed some clear silica sand and sprayed another coat of Coval to provide a grippier surface. I haven't really tested oil penetration with the...

thanks racecougar for your help. that 109.5" width is amazing.

As for ramps, one possibility is to build some out by stacking some 2x8 lumber

racecougar, how tight is it for the 4th gen Mustang under the lift for your car? Approximately how much clearance do you have on each side with your mirrors? Thanks.

The stored car will be raised above my height, as I have enough ceiling clearance. No need to wear a hardhat around the lift.

Thanks everyone for your reply! I have a high lift garage door with a side mounted opener already. I can purchase the aluminium ramps (or race ramps) to make my life easier. I guess I'm debating if the extra long is worth it as a car below will be driven in and out daily, especially in the...

Hi, I have a 1.5 car garage and I'm debating whether to go with an extra-long lift (238" w/ramps), or just a standard length lift (207" w/ramps). Both will be extra tall as I have the garage height. The two models I'm eyeing are the Peak 409-HP and 408-HP. I'm eyeing the extra-long as it...

Hey Matt, I'm in the same predicament as you, but with the Peak 408-HP and Atlas Apex 8 EXT. Did you end up getting either of them? Thanks.
