I just got a lift installed a week ago, so Im up on the considerations for an install.


- What about clearance from the overhead garage doors?

You can get a wall mount door motor and the tracks can be raised to get the door closer to the cieling. Its about $7-800 in parts plus $2-300 for install.

- What type of lift would be best for storing a car (say a track Porsche) above a daily driver? Four-post? Two-post?

Sounds like you need a 4 post

- What else do I need to consider?

The footprint size of a 4 post is a lot bigger than you would first think. They are usualy very long and just under 12' wide, plus the ramps that extend to drive onto them. Im not sure which bay you are thinking about using, but get some real specs of various lifts and see what you can really do.

Also you need a power source. Some are 110v some are 220v. Electric normaly drops from the cieling for a lift, but could come from an adjacent wall. You dont want to run a big extension cord.

Most lifts will raise to a height of 6'. Add your car height and you can calculate how high you can go or not go.
