The garage Lifts

After considering many options I finally selected, purchased, and installed lifts in the garage of The “L” Shaped House. The first photo below shows both the 4-post lift (in the fourth stall) and the portable scissors lift (in the third). Both lifts were purchased from Greg Smith Equipment. The 4-Post lift is an Atlas Garage Pro 8,000 chosen because it is (at least theoretically) possible to attach the wheels and push it out the door on to the garage apron. As you can see in the photo…it’s first occupants are our snow blowers.

The second lift is an Atlas Portable Scissors Lift (model TD6MR). This lift has a 6,000 lb. capacity and can be easily moved around inside the garage. The only compromise is a requirement for ramps with low clearance vehicles like the Mini. With the lifts installed and some of our tools now in place the garage at The “L” Shaped House is really taking shape!
