Car Lift Question

[Phartsmellar]

I had an Eagle 2 post Lift at the Old house, Being 6'2" I hit my head just about about every day on something,Maybe not everyday,but got tired of being hunched over all the time, The lift was fine never gave me any problems. Would Just Like something a little taller than 72" it offered with no adapters,Since most of my Junk, Race car,street rod stuff sits low,Anyone ever researched which ones get it on up there about another 8"-1ft? Thanks

My buddy is 6'4" & has worked under my Mohawk System 1 with no problems. Mohawk has a tall lift out there that has about an extra ft or so of clearance over what the standard lifts have.

Rotary lifts offer 1' and 2' lift extentions ......I think.

I have NAA ( same as all chinese lifts)
its extra tall , extra long, will go 76in under the bottom of the ramp.
I love it ! can drive my pickup/camper shell under the lift,

Bendpak has 24" extensions for their two post 10k lifts I think

Thanks for the replies, the Idea was to get away from extensions as the ground clearance on most of my stuff is Like 5" at best, Hence the Need for a lift that just gives max lifting height no extensions needed.Looks Like a good suggestion has been made that suits my needs,with the Mohawk. Thanks again.

I believe these just move the height of the crossover stuff on clearfloor models so you can lift taller vehicles, but don't increase the lifting height of the lift.

There is probably a way to do that safely, but there are probably also 10x as many ways to create a very dangerous situation trying that. I wouldn't risk it.

BTW: how'd you plan to get the car on the ramps if the whole lift was elevated?

I was thinking of extending the ramps so they wouldn't be so step. I would let them reach outside the garage door because they would only get used on/off with it open
