Ooph! Posted January 30 Report Share Posted January 30 The installers arrived at 07:30 and worked till it was done and cleaned up 12 hours later. Now it's time for me to get the electricity and insulation in. 11 Quote Link to comment

I've got the opposite problem - lots of extra space,& ONLY two cars. It really helps having the workbench in a room off of it. 1 Quote Link to comment

Draker Posted February 5 Author Report Share Posted February 5 I wrapped up the electrical and passed final inspection. These pics were taken at night with the lights on. These are the hyperlite LEDs. Plenty bright. I wired so I can control each bay independently from either the man door or the bay doors. I started assembling some of the pallet racking I bought at a defunct Walmart auction last summer and I’ve started moving stuff in. I still need to seal the concrete so things will be moved around at least once more. 9 Quote Link to comment

Are there any to stay away from? Bendpak or Rotary are the big names. Bendpak is probably the most expensive, but the quality is good. Rotary is good also, but I prefer the color scheme of the Bendak. There are a lot of cheaper options out there, likely made overseas. I'm sure the quality is fine.. but you know there are only two posts and four arms holding a vehicle weighing thousands of pounds above your head. I just ordered and received mine from Bendpak. All in, a pretty simple process. I emailed them, they send a quote. Free shipping to your door if you have the ability to unload. If not then you get into fees with the piggy back fork lifts, or lift gates which can be expensive. Another option is to ship to a local freight depot which is free. Then you can pickup from there. That's what I ended up doing. I'm sure Rotary does the same thing. Shipping time was about a week I think? Your mileage may vary depending on your location. Helpful tip, if you settle on a lift read the concrete specs carefully. I read the concrete specs in the install manual, poured a slab based on those specs. Turns out, there is a supplemental concrete spec guide for Bendpak.. which goes into much greater detail. I missed that, and now I get the opportunity to test my jackhammer skills while pouring a new footing. All lifts are different, so all specs are different. Just be sure you do your due diligence. If not sure, contact the manufacturer. Which is what I should have done. Edited Thursday at 06:58 PM by Draker 4 1 Quote Link to comment

They had about 850 on them and taco'd. lol. I then replaced them with new ones, with additional wood support up top... and the castors failed. So... not 1000lb rated. I got a kick out of it. 1 Quote Link to comment
