Lift Question - Placement
Ok, now I need to figure out where I'm going to place the lift in the new shop. The hole for the lift will be created when the foundation goes in. I'll make a cover for it, so it will be flush and out of the way when not in use
I'm 99.99% sold on the Mohawk Lift More on that decision here: Scissor Lift Summary
After enumerating my choices, "A" seems to be a better choice than I'd originally imagined. For reference, the structure is 25'x25', with 10' walls and the ceiling will be ~13' in the center. I'm always open to suggestions. Also, the lift guy is supposed to be bringing a demo unit out tomorrow after work. If anyone wants to come by and check it out, lemme know.

my 2 cents....i vote for D....
when you pull your engine and tranny you can put that in the A/B region near your bench and work on it there... at A, I would imagine the car would then be between your bench and the engine tranny MJ |

Between A and B! I have about 3' between my lift and the carbinet/wall, and it is a pain sometimes. Give yourself at least 4 feet, but 5 is better...workspace makes a job much more enjoyable, but cram into a corner while turning that srew upside down under the flapper box with your leg sticking up in the air sucks!

E or between E and the garage door. You won't need to move other cars/stuff to get to the lift, and if a project ties up the lift, you can still park under it.
Never mind, can't park under mohawk. Why not get afull height lift?
