Togo Posted May 24, 2007 Share Posted May 24, 2007 title should sum it up - any ideas around it?????are there lifts on casters or something? so i don't have to drill???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anmracing2 Posted May 24, 2007 Share Posted May 24, 2007 Hey Chris,From what I remember when we were deciding on a lift for our garage, you need a minimun of a four inch slab for the two post lifts. I Don't know about the four post, I would think it to be the same.Then one day I saw this site.They work much like the Seery Ramps. There is a company that goes to Barrett Jackson every year that has the four post lifts on casters and look very portable. I don't remember the name but they might be on the BJ website????The other one that we looked at is almost like a fork lift. I decided against that because I didn't think it would be good for the Vette. Still thinking about it though.....Small lift.Andrew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harris Posted May 24, 2007 Share Posted May 24, 2007 You could always look into a scissors type lift. Can park on top of it when not in use. I have one from Superlifts. The lift is fine but their customer service is very poor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
az57chevy Posted May 25, 2007 Share Posted May 25, 2007 Technically the four posts don't need to be bolted down but are much safer when bolted. Not sure if the tension slabs can't be drilled into after they set up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure if the tension slabs can't be drilled into after they set up.they tell you not to drill and /or cut into the slabs once they are set, as it will ruin the structural integrity of the slab!i really want a lift - with 10ft. garage ceilings, it may be feasable now!!!!

anmracing Posted May 26, 2007 Share Posted May 26, 2007 Chris, does this mean you found a new house? And that you'll be hosting the permanent Corvette Saturdays from now on? j/k-I am sure that Jackie would go crazy with this group over every weekend....Congrats on your new abode!M~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Kens06 Posted May 26, 2007 Share Posted May 26, 2007 Chris,None of the four posts I have researched require permanent mounting!!In fact the first option is usually 6000# rollers to make it mobile loaded or unloaded!!The second option is longer ramps to accomodate vehicles with lower ground clearances!!When we changed out Bryan's tranny at Mikes house in Scottsdale, I don't remember his being permanently mounted!! In fact I kind of remember hitting the posts with a sledge to square them up after we got it elevated...But that could be a dream too.........Is this what you are looking at??I see a mod party coming!!Ken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Togo Posted May 26, 2007 Author Share Posted May 26, 2007 we wrote a contract on a house in anthem last weekend - 3 car garage with 10 foot ceilings (the rest of the house it not at all important to me! :-D)Jackie wouldn't mind you guys being over all the time - in fact, i even asked her about it while we were walking the neighborhood last week!Ken - that is EXACTLY what i was thinking about - that one on the top - only $1695?????

Eddie44 Posted May 26, 2007 Share Posted May 26, 2007 Anthem is a great little community of it's own. My only concern would be traffic getting home on a Friday like yesterday. There were 12 mile backups on I-17 yesterday and that didn't count the 2-4 mile backup on the 101 just to get to I-17. Next question, will she let you put a urinal in the garage? :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bigfoot Posted May 28, 2007 Share Posted May 28, 2007 My wife has a cousin and his family that live in Anthem. Nice area, but the traffic is murder. I-17 really needs to be widened that's for sure.Congrats on the new house. Does all this mean you are keeping the vette? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
