Finally bought a lift

[Nexus1155]

MAN If i knew you were getting a lift I know a guy in Cherry Hill, NJ who sells refurbs for $1200. We got our low clearance Mohawk A7 from him. I dunno about the lift you have, i have never seen or heard of it, but if it works it works and as long as it has locks. I would test it with a heavier vehicle too.

Be careful though with the doors of the garage open. If you didn't get a permit to put that in there sometimes they are sticklers about it and will fine you and make you take it down!. My friend built a 70K 3 floor addition to his house to put a lift and do work, and the zoning guy came by and shot him down hard.

How many bolts is that thing being held on by? is it shimmed at all? Looks a little scary IMHO. Might just be me and the way the pictures are angled.

I looked at some used ones, but couldn't find any to fit in my garage. A buddy of mine bought a used bendpak for $500 and poured a slab outside for it. I like the idea of using mine in my heated garage.

It is extremely solid. No shims were required, as the base plates sat perfectly on the floor. Each post is secured by 5 bolts.

Here's a video of one being installed in Jay Leno's garage:
