That is awesome.

Wow man, nice addition! how much do one of those things cost?

Any chance I could "rent" your place for an hour to do my oil

Perhaps someday in the future. I'm still getting comfortable with using this lift.
Right now its lifting unevenly at about 2-3 inches. I think I have to lubricate and bleed the hydraulic fluid lines a few more times.

I think epoxy floors are next.

I think you should add a man cave and a basketball court. I'd be your best friend for life. BFFL

i looked into this at my new house but didnt seem very practical. moveable max jack like you got is about the only option without a 12 plus foot ceiling.

Sorry to thread jack, but want to let folks know $1K more gets one a full height lift. This Bendpak XPR9 fits under my 10 foot garage ceiling, although I must be careful not to hit the ceiling with cars.

Very clean shop you have there. I need to measure my ceiling....

Day Laborer · 07-13-2013, 12:31 PM

Nice! is that epoxy flooring?

I would had gotten a full lift since i had 14 feet ceilings, but wanted the convenience of moving the lift out of the way when needing space.

I'm jelly.

DavidZ: What lift is that?

Yeah, it's Epoxy Coat. It only took about 5 hours to apply [that's total time including cleaning (easy as it was a new slab), acid etch and floor painting] for 450 square feet. I did allow 3 days for the water to dry after washing at etching the floor before painting as people have had bubbling problems.

It's a Bendpak XPR-9. Not many lifts fit under a 10 foot ceiling.
