If I had the kind of headroom that is in that photo Luccia posted, I would probably agree. But I have a 2-car garage underneath our house with a large I-beam down the middle that supports the floors above.
The 911 is on one side, the other side has tools, shelves, and stuff. In the driveway are three daily drivers (soon to be four).
I only have room for about 30 inches of lift, and that is positioning the 911 so the roof will clear the I-beam. So I can't use much more than the 22 inches of lift that the QuickJack provides. The portability so I can use the lift in the driveway on the other cars is an added bonus. I'm planning on the 12V version that I can power from my 12V jump start battery.
Here are the dimensions of the various models:
The 50 inch spacing of the lifting blocks on the 3500 lift isn't enough for a 911. I measure about 54 inches on my SC.
BTW, the free shipping deal that Pelican has going now for these lifts is the way to go. Luccia explained to me that the lift will be delivered to my door. If you order directly from Bendpak, I think there are extra charges for home delivery, and you have to get it off the truck yourself. I believe Bendpak's free shipping is to a local freight terminal, where you have to go pick it up. There may be extra charges there too.
