I got the idea from another site when researching lifts. They ran threads into the cross beam. I was thinking I would put in a couple of 3/8 drop in concrete anchor sleeves flushed to the floor but this came about serendipitously.
Oh yeah I sprung for the rolling jack and also got the adjustable bottle jack tray. Can get all 4 wheels off the lift no prob.
Just under 10ft. Might need lube
Had my garage built and the first Builder I was going to use was was going to cut the trusses out in the garage ceiling so I had clearance. They were going to be 10 ft walls. The second Builder I want up going with said for $800 I'll give you 12 foot walls. I I said sign me up.Just under 10ft. Might need lube
Bend pak now makes a more narrow lift. For those hobbyist with really tight garage spaces.My friend has a 30's bungalow in SoCal with a one car garage (part with the window is a 6' square for the laundry). He put a Bendpak 4 post in there to put his '70 Cuda on, yes there is a fully restored E-Body on the lift over the 68. The garage door is pointed right at the bumper, you can see the bumper guards hanging. The lift needed to be centered on the roof and not the door. When the 70 was just a raw shell roller there was just enough room to lift it to release the safety's.
The 68 is a 340 4-speed survivor, bench seat, PB, MS
The 70 is also a 340 4-speed 2-tone car white (painted) roof on a blue car.

I know, that's the way I felt when I didn't have one. I suffered for decades without even a garage (used to rent one just for storage).Ya'all make me sick.
