Default Re: Garage Parking Lifts

I bought a back yard buddy 4 post 110 volt. Great lift, super strong. installed it in my regular garage.I modified the door slides on my regular garage door by installing a new 3 foot section so the door
travelles higher than before.I also moved the electric door
lift and instaled it inbetween the rafters so I could get max lift.I also had to put an extension on the motor arm
so that the door could close. I also had to install a longer new spring in order to put more tension on the door
as it now lifts higher than it did before.

Only problen is when you have 2 cars in place the top car
will be close to the ceiling and therefore you must remove the extension that goes to the automatic door closer so that it does not hit the car when the door is fully oppened
and therefore you will haveto manually open and close the door. When I am working on the one car its no problem as I dont haveto go to the top of the lift its only when I get two cars in do I need to remove the longer bar for the automatic door lift.
