Off ground storage
Discussion
Yes you can work on them . However it does depend on the height available in your garage. I can work under mine ( im currently in the process of fitting a Subaru power steering rack) but I use a workshop wheeled stool as I find it an easier working height. Im not able to put the lift up to its full height with the car on because my garage has roof beams in the way. I used axle stands before so I say from experience this is still a 100% better solution even if slightly compromised. In addition I have freed up the other floor space on the other side of the garage, I did however then fill it with 5 Motorbikes !
Hi everyone, thanks for all the replies.
Do these 4 post systems lock out as well so not reliant on the hydraulics?
Also, is it recommended to raise the car off the wheels (if poss)? Contemplating something like this:

Can you tell me the floor area & height you had to work with please, it looks like a standard double garage. Im considering one in my double garage and would like to have a real life reference.
About 5.5M x 5M. Height wise you need 2.7 m to get it as high as mine but the higher the better. What dimensions have you got.NeilC73 said:

This is what I thought you were originally talking about.https://www.quickjacklift.co.uk/
My understanding is that for long term storage you need to lift the car so the tyres are off the ground, as tyre damage can result otherwise.
