Four post lift recommendations

I've shown this pic a 50 times now.. 10' 3" ceiling and I'm 5' 10" tall.

Now with a 4 post lift I've done all the measurements and two regular B bodies would fit top and bottom, but with the Bird on top I'd have to back it into the shop and make a rectangular cut out for the wing in the ceiling. Not a big deal, as it's spot ends up right between trusses, so pretty easy. The cost of the long x wide lift I want that is wider than my 9' doors, not so easy!
 
I have two Eagle four post lifts in my 30x40' shop w/12' ceiling . I keep my Buick GN on top of my 69 RR with the 7000 EXT. Jeep CJ-7 on top of an 85 Corvette with the Eagle 7000N (Narrow)
 
Check out Worth, I bought their 2 post because it's American made... massive compared to many brands. They offer 4 post and will customize them if needed. Whatever you do, do your research, I've seen videos of cheapo lifts that can't reach the advertised capacity and some that break before ever reaching it.

As far as mounting on a sketchy floor goes, there's 2 things you can easily do to put your mind at ease. First as mentioned mount it on steel plates making the footprint larger. Second, tie it into the ceiling eliminating the possibility of it tipping. I would run a stringer tying all of the trusses together then capture the top of the lift.

I've been looking for a used commercial quality alignment lift with rolling pneumatic/hydraulic jacks that I can also park a car under.

This is year 5.

I've seen close but no cigar for around $2500.
 
Got room for another car now.

$4072 shipped from Minnesota to the Tucson freight terminal. Prices increased 1 May $390.
 
I have the same lift branded as ‘Advantage’. Those are grey with red ramps.

Nice lift IMO. I would buy another one.
 
If you have any large/heavy vehicles, make sure you get enough to accommodate them too.

Mine is tight with 10' ceilings but it all fits. It's a Advantage brand marketed by a local company here near my house. I opted for the additional slide jack, 1 draining tray, 3 drip trays, caster kit to make it mobile. They delivered it, installed it for just under 4G's.
