Thanks for the feedback. GSE has a warehouse in the LA area so sales tax would apply one way or another. I might still get it shipped up here instead of picking it up myself but as you and others have mentioned, they are stacked and sometimes the top one slides a little off and might tip over...

I'm a new member here and I'm getting ready to start my recessed scissor lift project. I've read through this complete thread which seems to be the main scissor lift thread and that certainly sped up my learning curve. Anyway, in terms of lift selection I've narrowed it down to two models both...

Yeah, I'm going to go with the steel edges too, easy enough to get fabricated.

Mech33, that's an impressive garage, looking just gorgeous! I'm about to start my recessed scissor lift install here in the East Bay and have two questions for you. First, how's the EE6503 lift holding up? Are you still happy choosing this model? Second, I noticed you are in the Bay Area. Do...

While reading up more on scissor lift installs I ran across member nitro3421 garage build and noticed that he used angle-iron frames for the lift pit edges ( 1"x1" angle iron welded to the exact rough opening). Here's the link, post #454...

Here are the links to the EAE lifts. Model EE-6503V2 with 8,000 lbs capacity, in-ground, seems very similar to the Atlas FM9SL but with 1,000 lbs less capacity http://www.eae-ae.com/america/product/details-325.html Model EE-65A.40T with 9,000 lbs capacity, above ground or could be recessed...

Fortunately I know where the sewer lines are and they are not going under the garage so that's good news. I did research the EE6503 last week and it seems there is a newer version of this model available. Btw, Everlift and Everet is now called EAE. Model EE-6503V2 has 8,000 lbs capacity and one...

You hit the nail on the head. This is the problem around here for at least the last 3 years. Even if one is willing to pay up there's no guarantee that you'll get a competent contractor. I'm willing to do all the steps myself (I can probably figure out the rebar) but the one thing I for sure...

My main concern is any in-slab domestic water lines which would be difficult to fix quickly and since it would be the main line in the house the wife would want that fixed stat ... and we all know: Happy wife, easy life :) I talked to a handyman neighbor who has been working on the houses in my...

Excellent documentation of your build and just wanted to thank you for your time and effort, it sure is confidence inspiring for the rest of us. I'm starting the same process now, currently in the research phase leaning towards the Atlas model you installed but also considering the Everlift...

I'm new to this forum and excited to post on here. I found this site while researching an in-ground scissor lift which I'm planning on installing in my garage. There are some excellent and detailed threads about the whole process of building a pit for the lift. I spent the last few days...
