Low/short post 4 post lift
Discussion
Does such a thing exist? In some ways it does rather defeat the object but it would suit me.
I prefer the idea of a 4 post than a scissor but with most of the posts being 2m+ that doesn't fit where I want it without altering things.
Strongarm do short and narrow lifts but no low ones.
Alternatively a smaller, drive on scissor. I've seen one in a garage I use and it would be ideal but it's huge and no doubt quite expensive!
Anyone seen such things or is it a wild goose chase?
Thanks

I’m in a similar predicament, I know it’s only a 2-post but this is one of the lowest lifts I’ve found so far.

2m seems to be the lowest post height I've found and that's going to mean new garage doors at least. 2 posts give me the willys but I accept the trade prefers them and actually moving the posts back that much would help but I'd need a couple of cubes of decent concrete to attach one to.
Worth reconsidering.
Ideally I need to get a structural engineer to suggest how to replace/modify the roof trusses to give more internal height. They are basic back to back triangles.
Ideally without taking the roof off. I don't want much! But the house (and therefore garage0 is listed so it's not quite as straightforward.
I'll look at the other suggestions too.

I've got one of these and its great for your average sized car. Its very sturdy and the posts are heavy. I have a 4 car garage and drilled mounting holes in several places so I could mount it in various locations in my garage. When I'm not using it, I store it against the walls and its very compact. I think my garage floor was just enough to mount it. I have the US market version under the trade name Max Jax. Several YouTube videos on it.https://cjautosheywood.co.uk/product/2-post-movabl...
