Hey Group,
Installed My new car lift yesterday and wanted to share. It is a Nationwide 4 post 8,000 pound capacity storage / service lift. So far I'm pretty impressed for under $2,500 delivered. It doesn't require bolting to the floor and comes with a set up to move the entire lift with casters. I bought the lift so my son and I would have an easier time installing parts and generally getting under this car ![]() |

I have a 9 foot ceiling. I will have to sit on a rolling chair to work under it, but it seems pretty comfortable. I am still working on making my shed / garage nice. Just painted last week and I am starting to set it up now. Thanks. I always wanted a nice garage and a car to mod out!!! ![]() |

One of those came with a house my fam bought. It's sturdy AF and I had no concerns working under it.
For additional safety, I used tiedown straps to secure the wheels to the ramps. I'd highly recommend getting cylindrical foam padding and putting that on the inside lips of the ramp sides. I smacked my skull into those more times than I can remember. The only gripe I had is you have to use the scissors jack to take a wheel off.

Great choice, Adam Sandler movies are the best!
Oh, nice lift too. I have been looking into a lift as well. Was your floor pretty level, or did you have to shim it? What made you choose the 4 post instead of a 2? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

I believe the manufacturer says your slope can not exceed an 1/4" per foot from level. When we built my shed, I told the concrete guys that I wanted the shop level like inside of my house. The 4 post lift doesn't need to be bolted down and can be move with the caster kit that comes with the lift. That is why I went with the 4 post. |
