Tall four post lift inquiry

[loogy]

Is anyone aware of a four post lift that has an under runway height of at least 85" when on the top lock? I'm aware of the super tall Bendpak HD-7PXW and the Atlas ST-7000. I can't have the support cables of the Atlas in the way, I and I really don't need that much height.
There are numerous lifts that have between 79" and 82" clearance under the runway, and yes, I could shim those to suit my height requirement if necessary, but I'd rather not do that if at all possible.

Its not something really available short of the super tall ones you found. You can block up the posts, but that changes the height of the deck when its lowered and you may have to change your ramps to be able to drive a low vehicle on it. Wildfire makes some lock blocks that gain you an extra inch, but your still around 83". Wildfire seems to be about the closest to what you need.

What are you putting underneath? An off road Mercedes Sprinter van?

I dont know what the op has, but a buddy has a stock F250 Tremor 4x4 and stock its right at 84". There are parking garages that he cant go in. He sometimes calls ahead about the parking availability at airport off site parking to make sure it will fit.

Have to look at drive through widths as well with trucks but you can fold the mirrors in. Maybe the 14k lifts have more suitable dimensions than the 8-9K lifts.

The higher weight rated units will sometimes have a wider clearance between the posts, but there are some 9k units between 9-10'. What you are really seeing is that the higher weight units are for working on heavy trucks and not used for parking. Basically no point in making a 14k unit go over 80" since a normal person doesnt need the height to work on the truck.

Thats what the 2 units the OP posted about. A specialized "parking" lift for tall vehicles.

I have seen parking lifts in some condo buildings. Not sure if they are made by the usually lift makers, some of whom make homeowner grade parking lifts. Some are single post. No idea of the dimensions, though.
