Then I filled the hole with concrete and left a 5" depression to fit the lift in.

I used 5000 psi concrete so I did not need to add rebar.

I used a diamond saw to make the cutout, then I broke up the concrete and dug it out to about 18" deep.

Thats what I used for my lift, which is the same as Greg's.

Wheel changes, brake flush and pad changes are a snap.
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Well, I finally completed my lift project and figured I would share some pictures. I have always wanted a lift, but since I do not have more than 8' of ceiling height and I am not moving anytime soon I had held off. So attached is my solution. It is a Bend-Pak mid rise lift. I recessed it because now that I am hooked on DE's and will be lowering the suspension I would not have been able to clear it. Thanks to everyone who I got ideas from on this forum. It is a great resource.
That, is absolutely NEAT!!! Where can I get more info?
EDIT: I found their web-site. Good 'ole Google. Which model did you get? Any recommendations, tips?
Info attached below. Model MD-6XP. It is not bolted down, it is totally portable, Fully adjustable and can hit just about any jack points. It lifts up to about 48" high. It has about 7 safety stops so it can be left in the air indefinetly with no pressure on the cylinders. Really a nice simple design. I would be happy to answer any other questions. Thanks.

I bought a Rotary mid rise lift and love it. Projects I used to put off doing I don't worry about anymore. Wheel changes, brake flush and pad changes are a snap.
Yea where did you get that??
It is awesome!! How did you modify your garage floor to accept the unit? Did you dimension the cutout in such away that it doesnt require fixing to the floor?
New idea for the new house

Guys,
I bought the lift from Automotive Service Equipment,
http://www.asedeals.com/mid_rise_lifts.html
.
I got the exact dimensions of the lift by talking to them and made the cutout in the floor about 1 inch larger on each side. It fits perfect and no need to bolt anything down. I used a diamond saw to make the cutout, then I broke up the concrete and dug it out to about 18" deep. Then I filled the hole with concrete and left a 5" depression to fit the lift in. Now when the lift is lowered it is flush to the floor.
Actually, my house sits on the side of a mountain and 18" down is solid rock. I used 5000 psi concrete so I did not need to add rebar. 13" of solid concrete sitting on rock. Otherwise I would recommend going deeper and perhaps using rebar.
Greg.....NO NO NO.
You can't possibly do this to me! OMG! That has to be the coolest thing I have ever seen in a private home.
It is absolutely fantastic and I am beyond envious at how easy your maintenance will be now.
The question now is how the heck am I going to arrange to install one of these contraptions. Between you and Dell, I have mods and mods for mods lined up into 2007.
Seriously, that is one spectacular installation. Kudos to you.
I can already see your friends lining up on weekends for their 'maintenance intervals'.
Hi,
This is just great !!!
Just a doubt, how easy it is to access the middle of the car.
Can you crawl in between to access these areas?
Thanks in advance for your answer.
WOW that's great but the wife will definately kill me if I add it to the plans for the new home. Too bad you're in Jersey..hey a reason for a road trip and long drive in the 996! YES!!!
\\
Just kidding but I really do love the lift. Great job
As for drainage, I can't imagine you're going to get more water in there than what little drips off the car when it's wet after a rainshower...so drainage doesn't really seem necessary. Of course, if you get a really bad oil leak, there's the added bonus in that it'll collect in one nice little area.
Guys,
Thanks for all the kind words. I would highly recommend this solution to anyone who does not have room for a full lit. I did not do anything for drainage as I do not plan getting the lift wet. The lift is hydraulic but the hydraulic pump gets plugged in. Anyone who would like to see the install you are more than welcome to swing by.
The access to the middle of the car is somewhat limited. It looks to me that there would be only a few things that you would not be able to do with this lift on a 911. You may not be able to easily remove the protective tray under the center of the car. All in all pretty good access.
Greg,
Great job, I may have to take you up on that offer.
I just move into a new constructed home and this years budget consisted of landscaping and backyard patio. I have planned my garage for 2007 and have the lift option included into my project. I am assumeing you have a dedicated cicuit going to the pump.
Just ordered one today, Bend-Pak MD6xp, $1410 delivered.. Installation may not be as cool, but a 2x12 or ??, on either side of the lift will work for lowered cars,
That will vary depending on your soil type, depth of the frost line, etc. A local cement contractor will be able to determine the depth, amount of rebar you would need, etc.
Alex, you are more than welcome. Just let me know. Dave, thanks again, after seeing your lift it was an easy decision. Don't forget about my offer if you decide to stay at your house for a while. I probably over engineered with the amount of concrete that I used, but I would check with a mason regarding depth and prep inside a garage. Remember that most garage floors are only 4" thick with just stone underneath. So you do not need to go crazy.
