    Which Parking Lift to buy?

    Howdy Folks,

    Apparently if I want to buy another early 911 car I will need more space.

    This leads to my current research project, buying a four post parking lift.

    Can you recommend a good quality parking lift manufacturer or supplier in the USA?

    Best Regards,

    Michael

    I've been very pleased with Direct Lift for about 6 years now -- works great. Highly recommend having them set it up.

    I got one from Direct Lift: they installed it too. It works fine and is great for storage and working on the car. I got the "tall" version as I am 6ft+ and don't want to hit my head all the time!

    I see they have taller lifts also. My shop is very tall. I was thinking about building a loft to increase my storage and use the drive on lift to "lift" vehicle up... Thanks for the link.

    Having a loft to park extra cars would be great...
    The people at the company I linked to are excellent to deal with.. They delivered the lift from R.I to Northeast Mass. and assembled it. I helped with the install just so I would know exactly how it works.
