4 post lift
does anyone from NNJ area have or use a 4 post lift? A portable one? I am thinking of buying one, so sick of jacking the damn car up and crawling under it...

We use a 4 post that is portable, and its been the best tool we have bought for the place. We never bolted it to the floor, because it came with the rollers to move it around, and ended up moving it quite a bit. They are definitely worth every penny to buy one.

Depends on what you want to put on it, and how high you want it to go.

IMO 2 posts are better for working, 4 posts are better for storage.

oh definitely. but for something at a house, i would think a 4 post would be nice especially if you want something portable. i am used to center lifts though. old school compared to whats out there now.

Most of them also work off of a 115V 15A outlet. Most (if not all) of the 2 posters I've seen work off of 220V 30A outlets. And then there's the bolting down deal, which kinda sucks.

we have supports at 14 ft high, and a normal garage door (no elec) that sits at 12ft high. To put my truck up in the air I have to close the door which kills the air flow of the barn
