Just bought a new house, has a 26x27' work bay, 9'9" ceiling (low...but I've found lots of lifts that will work even if I can't pick 'em up too high yet). Heaviest I'll be picking up is my '01 Ram 2500 diesel QCLB. Also have a '72 B body wagon and some 80s turbocars, but they'll be easy.
Originally I was looking at 2 posts. But then I found some 4 posts that are PORTABLE?? Looks like they have casters that attach to the bottom of the lift troughs, and when you lower the lift you can roll it into a corner? Hmm...cool.
I'm looking at least 9k rating (because of the diesel).
Any thoughts on symmetric 2 post / asymmetric 2 post / 4 post, for a home hobbyist garage? The building has a 100A 3-phase panel, so power won't be an issue. And I'm really digging the idea of rolling it out of the way when I'm not using it...just curious about logistics of things like engine/trans drop/swap jobs between the rails...
