I'm losing my rental garage so i'm going to have three cars to store at home, two of these i'd like to keep indoors, the other is my
daily which occupies the only drive space outside.
As far as i can see the most cost effective option is a 2 or 4 post lift and stack two cars in the garage. The two cars i'm planning to stack are
just summer toys so doesn't matter if they're a bit of a faff to get in or out.
I don't have any spare room on the drive for another car/enclosure/shed.
I'm limited to space as it's just a single garage (approx 2.45m x 6m), i cant find any 2 or 4 post lifts that would fit.
Does anyone know of anything that may be suitable, or even better have one for sale?!
Or am i coming from this at the wrong angle, is there something else i could be using to stack/store these cars?
Last resort is finding another garage to rent, but i'd rather put money into a lift/stacker than rent, and have my cars at home.
Could you mKe your own? A post in each corner, 2 ramps on a frame, winch at each end. No idea how much it would cost and would need to be inventive to
keep it safe on the way up, but once in place it could bolted to the uprights so it wouldn't go anywhere.
i did see the ad for the manual lift for sale on here, knowing what i know now i wish i'd bought it!
I think my best bet is a single post car lift, that looks just the job assuming i can leave a car suspended on it using some mechanical lock instead
of just the hydraulics... i'll seek advise from the manufacturer.
I'm pleased i posted this, i didn't know a single post lift was a thing!
