4-Post Lift Recommendation

With wildlife and probably others they will deliver to a local freight company and they will load on your car trailer. Wildfire uses ABF and will deliver to a local shipping depot.

I did similar to GTXDAN. A friend helped me unload the unit out of my trailer onto the new garage floor. He was "supposed" to help me put it together but he flaked. Having his morning bong bowl was more important. So out came the floor jacks, moving dollies and cribbing. I printed out the instructions and put it together on my own.

Agree, forgot to take more pictures on the install. But also used the tractor to lift the tracks. She was staging and stripping all the parts. ;)

I have had good luck with my Direct 4 post lift.

If you have someplace close that has a forklift they might let you have it delivered there and they could unload it right on your trailer for you. I did this and when I got home I used my engine hoist to pick up one end and slid it off my trailer on the shop floor.

That's a good idea! I also have a United Rental up the street if I need to rent something and drive it to the house. Problem with renting is timing the delivery schedule with the rental.

I only have 2 car garage but I make the most of it. I have a 10-4" celling. The hoist does help. Mine is an Advantage 7000 lb. I use it mainly for storage. I do have the bridge jack for when I do have to work on something. I also added a winch that aids for pulling a car up that is not running and magnetic LED light strips that point upward. No need for a drop light .

Just installed my 4 post. Do you have a link to the magnetic LED lights you used? Or anyone else have a link to some magnetic LED strip lights? thanks

No, I don't. They were just some cheapie 25' length rolls of Amazon. They have been working well for a couple of years now.
