Paul,
I would love that if only I had the headroom in my garage,
Looks pretty sturdy Note; 'supplied in one package - weight 700kg'

Paul,
Like everyone else, on the wish list. Certainly beats crawling unber the car for oil changes. There a number of identical units available in aus for similar price with castors. I am lucky for height in the shed, maybe Santa could kind this year!

Yes nice but headroom is a problem. How about this one, it's lighter and cheaper and seems to do most things?

Hellem,
I doubt I would be able to to drive the 40 over a mid lift system not enough clearance. I suspect the attraction to most of us is the ability to lift our cars for servicing without to much bending and crawling on hands and knees (getting to old for that!) Additionally the 4 post type lift system would provide the potential for parking underneath the lift for another car where space is at a premium. Fully appreciate that for some height is the issue which would need to be addressed with a 4 post lift system. The system that I am interested in is TUFFLIFT HOISTS - Welcome to Tufflift's web site which is sold by an agent in Aus.

Best thing I put in my garage (other than the 40!) was the 4 post lift. For cost comparison, I paid £500 for a 2nd hand unit and then £750 to have it professionally installed and seviced/refurbished. Recessed it in the floor 7 inches so it is a flat drive on and with a 12ft 3 inch internal ridge height, I can get full lift with the 40 on with the rear clip up. Everyone should have one!

I have a 4 post lift that holds the T70 project, and allows another car to be parked underneath when I am not working on the project. The bottom of the rafters in the ceiling are 10'6" off the floor, and positioning the lift at the top lock gives about 4" clearance between the roll bar and the door lift bracket (which is about 10" below the middle door track). the lift is then about 10" above the roof of the car below.
Hope this helps.

Hi Pete,
The propark7 lifts to 1.8 mtres so for total height requirement you would need to allow for the height of the car on the lift. I am fortunate that my shed side walls are 3.5mtres plus additional height with gabled roof, may be an issue if trying to use in a domestic garage. I am looking at the propark 9 which will give me capacity to lift my sprinter van if needed, capacity of this lift is 4ton.
Certainly seems a good way to get safe access under our cars without using jacks and car stands and storage\space benefits. One thought did occur to me though is I suppose the concrete floor may be warmer to lay on in Queensland than in Melbourne!
