Having considered building another garage I looked around for ideas on how to expand the parking in the existing garage and I have just had this installed today. Should have been an easy install but one of the fitters broke his arm when he slipped with the main upright but the daft sod carried on one handed eek.



Had to raise the some of the rooft timbers so I could raise the platform to above head height.

It also has a removable centre section so I can tinker when I want and now the Mrs can get her SLK car back in the garage....hope she is grateful this evening wink.

Feck me that's some setup, I'd be happy if I could have afforded the ladders propped up against the back wall.

Oh er Mrs...no there is a manual lock on one of the main beams that means you can not lower the system unless this is released. This is just in case the hydraulic system fails. And yes my favourite is on top cool.

No problems at all with clearance - would only have a problem if I tried to remove the car without lowering the platform first eek. PM me for precise price details but basically around £6k fitted.

Glad the radio arrived - still think you should upgrade it tongue out. Actually both cars are filthy at the moment as they both had to stay outside for a few days whilst the roof was raised and then the lift was installed. Time for another detail me thinks smile.
