Lo-Rise Auto Lift Recommendations?

[Kingman]

Does anyone have a recommendation for a Lo-Rise Auto Lift? Ideally, I am looking for one that affords easy removal of the belly pan to get at the engine for general maintenance. I am not looking for one where you have the ability to store a second car overhead (not enough ceiling clearance).

Suggestions?

If you are just looking for a short lift height, try www.kwiklift.com. I have a friend who has one.

FWIW, with about 8', you ought to be able to fit a GT on top of a GT with a four post storage lift.

edit: they're only about $2,500 shipped. one of the best things I've spent money on lately

Update:

I was down at the Huntington Beach Pier today for the July 4th festivities and came across a raffle for an Aston Martin. What I found very interesting is this alternative for a low-rise ramp. I have been interested in finding something like this for my garage because I don't have the room for a 4 post lift.

I looked at the Kwik lift awhile back a friee had one for his 68 GT500. I liked that you could use a jack bridge with it to lift the car and remove the wheels. Did you notice if the Alum one has a provision for this?.

I did not see it, but I don't see why you couldn't incorporate one.

Have you had your GT on your friends KwikLift? If you have were there any issues or special considerations with the GT.

I just recently bought and installed a danmar 4 post lift, $1890 o.t.d. and delivered... Assembled it my self and I have 97" from my rafters to the garage floor. 97" my friend.... GT fits on top with the cobra on the bottom and vice versa, YES, It's tight and I question it everytime I raise on of 'em but its the best purchase I've made thus far...

STUNTS,
The ceiling height is not an issue for me in the garage but the garage door's track hangs quite low to clear a beam. What is the distance between the floor and the garage door when opened in your setup? Wonder if I have room to fit a lowered GT on top of another lowered GT???

88" from the lowest part of a standard 2 door garage (in the open position) to the floor

94.5" from the actual garage door opener "screw" down to the floor

..... and a correction on my previous measurement. From the bottom of my rafters to the garage floor is 105", not the 97 or 98" that I previously stated...

Bruce, I hope these measurements help out. If you need some pics or otherwise, let me know.... My garage is a standard 20X20

If you have the space, you can move the door tracks higher. I had mine modified so that the tracks are a few inches from the ceiling.
