I've been researching single post and 4-post lifts and there's a lot of great information in the several threads I've found so far.
But I haven't seen any comments about this type of lift:
BendPak PL-7000X Parking Lift, 7,000 Lb. Capacity, Two-Post, Extended Rise
In my case there are advantages and disadvantages to every lift. All lifts (single, 4-post, and this freestanding one) will work in one of my two two-car garages so I'm looking for any insights you guys have on this particular type of "freestanding" lift.
This lift could be tucked back into the garage further and be more out of the way than a 4-post, especially when the lift is up. I've determined only the smaller 4-post lifts will work in my situation and my top choice 4-post lift only has 75" wide ramps (outside to outside) so this lift would have a wider ramp at 85".
I also like the single post lifts. But they need to be anchored. Also, my top choice single post has an 80" wide ramp which allows only 2.5" of clearance on each side of the 75" wide Viper (at the rear tires). However, single post lifts are pretty much completely out of the way when they're up, which is a great advantage.
I would need to measure this but this freestanding lift could be a problem with opening the Viper's door --- but with the Viper's long front end I'm thinking that won't be an issue. It also doesn't appear that this lift could be used with a bridge jack (like on a 4-post lift) but my research hasn't gotten that far.
I'll be doing only light maintenance and detailing with a lift. It will mostly be used to just add another parking space.
