Lift (for storage) recommendation needed

I am looking for a setup similar to this for my garage. Anyone have good luck with any companies / installers?

Install needed in the Baltimore, MD metro area.

I have that exact lift basically. Bought it from:

Jacob Staley

Best Buy Automotive Equipment

Quality Tool & Equipment

(855)275-5141 x 223

They have local installers that will put it in for you. The lift was like $1700 and it was like $500 to put it in. I love it.

Have had a BendPak for ten years now. I would not really consider another brand but I'm sure that many others are fine...FWIW.

I bought mine from Best Buy auto as well and I love it. Just be sure to ask for the wide model if you have a Z06.

This looks like a standard height garage. What is your ceiling height?
Thx!

Thx...but WOW....they are quoting me over $1,000 to install it. That seems criminally high. Anyone know good contacts for selling/installing these in the Maryland/DC area?

Atlas works very well. This is a very narrow lift, does not take any extra space up.

Looks nice. Is it wide enough for you to put the Grand Sport on the top?

That looks like my Direct Lift, when I called them, they told me who the nearest distributor was and it was about $2,500.00 delivered and installed.

Please indicate minimum ceiling height needed. I may be considering one as well. Thanks.

There is no minimum height, other than the combined height of the two cars plus about 10" - if you had two original GT40's, you could comfortably install it in an 8' high garage. Two Corvettes would take 9'6", while two Tahoes would need 14'..

Not sure about the minimum, but mine is 10'-6" -so it could go tighter.

I recently purchased an Atlas from RDs Automotive Equipment. I’m in Ellicott City, MD near Baltimore. I had to also raise my ceiling. The Grand Sport will fit on the lift but my ‘88 Challenge race car normally lives on top.
