Reply to "Got a new "tool" for the garage!"

I don't have experience with this style of lift, but a few years ago I added a 4-post lift in my garage. Installation was little more involved since I needed more "headroom."

The roof was originally built with trusses. I hired an architect to create a plan that would allow me to open the center part of the ceiling in the garage. I also changed over to a wall-mount garage door opener which also allows the garage door to open within a few inches of the ceiling.

After doing my research, I opted to go with a BendPak 9000 lift and installed it myself with the help of a couple of friends. I am very pleased with it. Because I have kids in the house, my favorite feature is the pneumatic lock-out that prevents lowering the lift unless you have at least 30psi of air hooked up so you can actuate the emergency lock release. This also prevents the lift from just dropping if you were to lose hydraulics.
