These are not great pictures, but this has been a great solution for me on getting more cars in the garage. My 3 car garage is now a 4 car garage, and came become a 6 car garage as needed. Man I cannot wait to fulfill that need.

You must have really sticky tire to get the cars to attach to the wall like that.

Looks good - how long does it take to move one up and down?

tombachmann

80 Seconds to go to max hight, about 60 seconds to come down.
Very smooth and easy opperation.

Sorry for the sideways picture. I will try to rotate and send again.

How tall is the inside of your garage?

tombachmann

The Garage is 10' 6" tall. On this lift the max floor to bottom of lift hight is 5' 3". The vette is only 4' tall so the 1' 3" clearance is fine. I thought it would be really intimidating driving under it, but it wasn't.
I have 8" of clearance from the top of the Reatta to the ceiling. It really worked out slick.

I forgot. The Garage door is what you have to be really careful about.
Mine is 8' 7". If I didn't back the car on, I would not have gotten Max hight. Worse case scenario is that they can add track to the garge door opener, and another section of garage door on the inside so that knowbody can see it to give me more clearance. With the current stable of cars I did not need to do that so I save $1,600.00.

Brand, source and cost of lift?

Guitarstar

Rotary is the Brand, Revolution is the model.
Found it on line, then went to distributors to find a local dealer.
Was going to have "garage store and more" get it for me, but the price kept changing. So I asked my dealer about it, and he hooked me up with the guy who works on the dealership lifts. He got it for me in 10 days.
It cost $3,450.00 plus $450.00 to have it installed, $3,900.00 complete.
The come in Black, Blue, Yellow and Red.
There is a bigger one that max hight is 6'4" but with the size of my garage, it was a waste to get the bigger one, even though it was only $250.00 more.

I am very satisfied!

Another brand worth checking is Backyard Buddy. I did the same project about two years ago. The Backyard Buddy has a strong following by NCRS menbers as they use them for undercarriage inspection at most of the NCRS Nationals.

Looks good...wish that I had the height to do the same.

TN 2005 C6

I did the same in my garage. My garage ceiling height is 11 feet and I had a high lift garage door installed so that I can use my American Custom Lift ACP-7SUV and lift the C6 so that I have 72 inches beneath the ramps. I park my Fleet 06 Chevy Equinox AWD under the lift with no problems. The nice thing about the high lift door is that my door opener is now attached to the rod which holds the balance springs and is a DC Motor. The door opens very quiet with the DC Motor and I have all the space in the center of the ceiling open.
