Hey guys (and gals). I know there are some older threads on this, but I am looking for a car lift that can go ~40" lift, doesn't need wooden ramps (for a 914) and doesn't break the bank. This Atlas lift from greg smith seems to come with shipping for $1745. Does anyone have this lift or something similar?

On the recommendations from some folks here, I bought a used Atlas 6000 over the summer for $900. Then built a couple of ramps from 2x10s (on top and a ripped 2x6 underneath) so I can park over it in the garage. When the car is in the air, I can just move the ramps out of the way if needed.

QUOTE(db9146 @ Oct 28 2016, 10:46 PM)  When the car is in the air, I can just move the ramps out of the way if needed. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) That's what I do. It may take a try or two to get the right placement of the ramps so you car is centered and such, but once you have them where you want them just make a few marks on the garage floor for placement (I used a sharpe) and you are set. Most of the time I just leave them in place. |
