I could have included this in other threads but I didnt,,, ha This is uncluttered so the distractions are minimal. There could be some hangers and trays added but the location of the air/electric kind of works about as well as it can. I don't even really need 120 down the post on this side as it is dropped to the light stand which is dropped about 3 ft from the hoist, you can push it out of the way or rotate it for work in adjacent areas.
I have 3 air drops in this area, one down each side of hoist and one on a reel along wall. I actually could do all the work in this area with 1 overhead reel but to hook another couple hoses to the same pipe aint a deal and requires zilch investment or maint and absolutely keeps it off the floor.
Each hoist drop can actually reach all 4 wheels of a car but in this case can serve the surrounding area and needs to be seen in better context than can be photo'd nicely.

I like a whip on a bench or behind a bench on a hanger. 50 ft of hose rolled up on a hanger ***** but a custom piece I like as its super simple. Actually working on the far wheel is best as the hose drapes completely under, I can walk around with the hose connected.
Everything has double duty. The light can be rotated a bit at its home for either car wheel or 180 to light tractor bay and never have to walk over a cord. The ar hose serves the hoist bay and can be used in the tractor bay. With a big loop and long headroom drop it goes a long way.
There may be a slightly better way of doing this yet but in this case it has kind of hit a threshold in terms of ease efficiency.
I may bend up some trays for lug nuts that go on hoist arms I havnt done. Magnetic would work but simple sheet may do too.
