Does anyone have a car storage lift. If so what kind? what would you recommend?
I have been looking at the pantherlifts but then saw the backyard buddy and just looks a lot more secure and safer.
Any thoughts and suggestions welcome.
thanks

here is a list of links to all the lifts i have been looking at (all 4 post setup)

I have a 4 post lift from Direct-Lift. I have had it for a few years and it works fine for me.

No the M3 will go into the storage the 1er is going to replace my daily driver.

Thanks for the pic and info. Do you have your lift bolted in and is it a C-channel lift or full post? Also may I ask how much you paid and how long do you store a car on it for?

Why lift it when you can roll it? :w00t:

It is not bolted to the floor. It is a C-channel lift. The '67 Vette has spent most of its life on a lift. It was on mine for 2 years only coming out only for N.C.R.S. shows. Now the TT is on the lift and the last time it was down was last Oct. It is nice to have for working on your cars also. I put a set of headers a a complete exhaust system and shocks on the '07 Vette. On the lift. Also works grest detaling the TT for car shows. The '67 is gone now and it has been a lot of help working on my Cobra. I bought it at the Turkey Run in Daytona Beach for around $2100. Here is a shot of the Cobra. Can't wait for the new 135 to come.

Thanks again for the pic and detailed info, much appreciated. It has been a great help in deciding on a lift. I have few more questions. What model is that? Is it the Pro Park 7? What kind of maintenance do you do and how often? I have been leaning towards the pro park 8s.

It is a Pro park 7. All I have done is keep it clean.

Awsome, again thank you very much for the info and quick replies. I am going to stop at the Greg Smith Equipment, Inc. in Newark, Delaware on my home from BMW performance center in SC when I pick up my car. It will give me a chance to see the lifts in person.
But after a lot of research I am pretty sure I am going with a pro park 8s.
