Lift options for 9 foot ceiling?

[Jeremy W]

My ceiling is 9 foot, anyone have suggestions for a lift that will work for me?

One of these would probably work for you...

The only down side to these is the floor is not completely clear under the lift. It has the track that runs from post to post.

Thanks for the quick replies! Gives me something to think about

Which BendPak model is that?

James,
It is a Model XPR-9F

This looks like a much better solution then the max jax why are not more people talking about this ?

I got a midrise from Greg Smith. It lifts about 48", can be moved and required no real installation. Perfect for the partnof my garage that has a 9' ceiling.

got any pictures of the greg smith midrise? I'm interested

Take a look at the MaxJax it is small enough for a 9 foot ceiling.

I'd probably go with the max jax myself. If you aren't going to have enough room to walk under it anyways, you might as well have one that you can move when you aren't using it

The mid rise at greg smith is a scissor lift not a 2 post.

If you want a 2 post there's not too many options as most 2 post are taller than 9".

my ceiling is actually 9 foot 6 I believe, I need to measure it, my memory is bad. looks like their are several 2 posts on the greg smith site that will work. Being able to move the max jax would be a real plus also... Thanks for the info everyone!

Jeremy, I have both a Atlas mid-rise and MaxJax, you can read about both here. I'm continuing to update the thread based on experience with both.

Can you put a pit in.

I worked in one once and it isn't too bad.

Here are pics of the mid-rise.

I also have a HD9 BendPak in the bay with the higher ceiling.

The mid-rise turned out to be great. I park a car over it usually, and the only thing "in the way" is the hydraulic unit, but it's no big deal at all. Plus, it required no site prep as it sits on the floor and plugs into a regular 120 outlet.

If memory serves it lifts about 50".

I have an XPR-9F too, and I am very happy with it.
