Baseplate Lift with Garage Tiles

[BigMike62]

I was planning on an overhead lift a extending the top plate above the ceiling. But I've decided to go with garage floor tiles and thinking about baseplate lift. Then routing the the bottom of the tiles the depth of the baseplate and placing them over it.

Thoughts?

Are you taking the plastic floor tiles similar to Swisstrax?

I think I would put the tiles up to the baseplate but not over it. You will help to ‘level’ the baseplate to be less of an obstacle.

Going overtop of the plate I feel will lead to headaches. Like tiles breaking, moving, not feeling solid under foot.

I think any plastic type floor tiles would not work well with things like transmission jacks etc.

I didn't realize the baseplate was that thick. Probably go up to it with the tiles.
