Yea, I don't have the ceiling height to accommodate a full lift. And even if I did the posts are in the way all the time. That is the space I normally park the El Camino. With the lift recessed, and the 1/2 inch plywood cover in place the lift is essentially gone. I can back the Elky right in a park as if there were no lift.

It is handy for working on other things as well.
