Hi All,

After searching through many threads out there (many of which appear to be a bit dated), looking to gather some advise as I narrow in on a 4 post lift selection for the 3rd bay of our garage. Here's what my needs are:

  • Storage of a C8 corvette (approx 49" height" I have on reservation - anticipated delivery spring of next year along with my '22 Tesla Model S Plaid (54" height). Also considering swapping the C8 order for a C2 restomod project, but height is about the same for both vettes
  • Ability to roll/move lift from 3rd to 2nd middle bay of garage - already completed high lift door conversions along with openers on both bays
  • Occasional light work on wheels/tires/fluid changes and detailing (most common usage)
  • Ceiling height of garage is approx 10'4" at the lowest point(s)
  • Really like have a bit of extra wiggle room /margin for error while loading) with wide cars on the lift (Vettes and Tesla) - hence the selection of a wider 9000 lb rated lift even if it is overkill for my storage and lifting weight needs (no trucks, SUVs aside from my Jeep Wrangler 4xE)
  • Would very likely purchase the flooring decking inserts to use as extra storage in the garage, especially between car projects
Narrowed it down to 2 lifts - the Atlas Garage Pro9000 and the Direct Lift Pro Park 9 Plus - would love to hear from recent owners of either lift with pros/cons. Here are my observations:

Atlas PRO9000 - Very similar dimensions overall (slightly longer length which takes up more room than I need, 213" length w/o ramps), similar width to the DL below, about 1000-1200 cheaper...however no available flooring inserts, not ALI certified - not sure if this is a big deal. Very odd that it says it requires a 30 AMP 120V line - i'd have to re-run a new line if this is a real/hard requirement or ask for the 220V version (I have a 30A 220V line available).


Direct Lift Pro Park 9 Plus - About 1000-1200 more expensive (assuming I pick up at warehouse) but is ALI certified, has more accessories available including the flooring inserts, shorter length which is a plus for my needs (193" total length w/o ramps). Also runs on 'standard' 20AMP 120V line.


Both have more lifting height than I could use with my approx 10' ceilings in garage, both appear to be big sellers. Is it worth the premium for the DL PP9 Plus? Would love to hear from owners of each!

Best,
Andrew
