I'm sorta lucky right now. With the purchase of our new home we budgeted for me a new shop. I have yet to build it but definitely plan on making room for a lift.

Bill consider this.

If you are building a garage, ensure is wide enough, and tall enough for a full size lift for you to be able to lift any car, and be able to walk underneath the car or truck.

Full size lift: BENDPAK

I can, unless I pop a chubby. Then a full size lift and vaulted ceilings are required.

That's a good web site. Thanks. Yeah, I was going to look into a 12' inside ceiling on at least part of it. My last shop had 12' walls and it looked like a lift would work I just never coughed up the coin for one. I'm gonna make sure the floor is thick enough for the anchors also.

If you decide to go with it, call them up, and ask for the concrete specs. The concrete mod I did in my garage is 6,000 PSI enough to hold the space shuttle.

Pete, is that the garage floor beef-up that you did the pictures on when you moved? I believe Socalman gave you a hand with that? Awesome job if I remember right...

Oh yes, after socalman gave me the code dimensions, I doubled them up. That thing would survive a nuclear blast.

He told me to do 4" deep







Damn that was already 3-years ago.
