Working on that...

OK.. so Lifts are still a ways off but this is what I'm thinking about.

Should work nicely in the attached Garage... I've got 10'6" ceiling clearance...

Atlas

Mohawk

The atlas is less expensive and is supposed to be bolted to the floor. If I get the atlas, I'll probably flush it into the concrete.


The Mohawk is almost 3 times as much (Just under 6k) but is mobile....

I guess it is a personal choice, but when comparing just by the pics the Mohawk looks about 10 times more sturdy. The Mowhawk also looks like the back stays stationary while the front rides on casters when lifting. If that be the case I would set some flat steel under the casters to let them ride on to save your floor. Or you could always recess it and still move it around if need be.

I'm thinking the price will be about the same once you figure in the concrete work required on the atlas....

I like th portability of the mohawk... And their reputation is pretty good.

any lift updates Chris?



necro... I know...



btw... how do I go about getting one of those cool Camaro5Fest banners:D

Very cool project! Jealous. :popcorn:

After talking with a few shops... I think I'm just gonna go with a four post on casters.. That gives me the most flexibility to do what I want.

Thanks!!!

:D I wish it was going a bit quicker... but right now the house stuff is coming first over garage...

what type of 4 post? individual post or connected post?

i think i have setteled on 4 post as well

Floor jack and stands here. :(

Homemade 2x12 ramps.....but they are 4 posters!' lol

Uhm... I'm thinking a connected... something like this if I understand the question right.

Yep it seems to be the most versatile...

:headbang:

Old school.

Reeeeeeeeeeeally old school. ;)

Damn. I like that a LOT.

Can lift it by the wheels OR/AND by the frame.

yup. thats what I was wondering.

here's the other style of 4 post that I've been looking into. customize for vehicles of different lengths

only downside to 4 post lifts is that you almost have to have the extra cross frame lift if you want to take the wheels off the car.
