Lift
Pm me with you email and I will send you a pdf of a floor plan of my 7000# Radial Lift. I wanted to be able to lift my F150 and my sons 3500 series Government Motors dually.
I cannot figure out how to attach a pdf to this thread.
To walk around the outside of the posts which you will need to do if you are working on tires, wheels, brakes etc where you want the vehicle just a couple of feet off of the floor,
you need 18" to 24" outside of each post. Then to have work benches on the sides and available when you have the vehicle up in the air, you need another 24 to 30" on each side.
I added these up (12' lift post width, and 4' on each side of each post) and came up with 20' of width. So my "car work on bay is 20 feet wide. You can get buy with a little less that 24' of depth, but I would do my best to allow 20' of width.
If you place one post next to a wall, you will not be able to get past the post when you have a vehicle one or two or three feet off of the floor.
Just my 2cents worth.
