Who here has a lift at home?

[stateofidleness]

One other reason I like the 4 post lift is that I also have a 914, which as we all know, lives on the lift

I'd like to be able to have two cars in at the same time if I need to.

The scissor lifts look really functionally smart, but are you ever nervous about front to back balance? Also, my dad would like to be able to work on his F150 if he needed to, so there's a need for some "common ground" on the lift to be able to accommodate the Box, the Teener and the Truck.

Front to back stability is great, it's solid as a rock front to back and side to side. It can also easily lift a full sized SUV.

That said you can lift any car on any arm type lift and have it fall off the front or back of the lift if too much weight is on one end. The lift stays put, but the car does not. The key is to maximize the distance between the front and rear arms to minimize the lever arms of the weight in front of the front arms and behind the rear arms. Using the stock jack points has worked well for me.

It uses 110V power.

That's good info Paul, I appreciate the photos. I am trying to decide between a two post and scissor. Do you recall approx how much it was for shipping? Also, I don't have a forklift or anything like that, how did you get it off the back of the truck when it arrived? What do you do for storage when it's not in use?
