Lift recommendations

[greyes59]

I want to install a lift on my driveway for 911 and 356 cars.
I would like to know what lifts you recommend for ease of use and practicality.

many thanks

I just got one of these off eBay....



Although mine is an older (although unused by PO) hydraulic type, not pneumatic.

The plan which I'm working on right now, is to recess this into the ground, needs about 15cm depth, on a re-inforced concrete base. It'll be just deep enough to cover the unit with pit-boards whilst not in use. It weighs an absolute tonne, took 5 of us to lift it out of the van, so although not bolted down, it isn't "portable". Lifts the car to about 1.2m....there are a few companies on eBay selling the new version of this (eBay UK, that is, if you want full specs and more pics)

ETA - I have tried raising and lowering the lift, but not used it with a car on, so can't comment on stability, but the outriggers are very adjustable and lock into their angular position once set. First impression is that it's a nicely made bit of kit (Dutch); fingers crossed it lives up to expectations.

2 post lift for maximum access, but not familiar enough to recommend a brand.

You say "install in driveway". Is it going to be outside or in you garage?

it will be outside the garage. But I live in the desert so no snow. Only high heat
