Ceiling height is 113 inches. I had the top locks set at 56.5 inches. This leaves about 3.5 inches above the ZR-1 and about 2 inches above the Camry.
The lift was manufactured by All American Lifts in Newton, KS.
The install was effortless, as the owner delivered the lift on a flatbed trailer already assembled. My ZR-1 was in the air in less than 30 minutes.
Cost was about 3800 delivered. The owner was absolutely fabulous to work with. Everything I requested was done to my satisfaction. I highly recommend All American Lifts.

Looks great! :thumbsup:

Are the posts secured into the concrete or do they just stand in place? I have always wanted one of these.

Thanks,

Jason

The posts are not bolted down. The lift is free standing and is very solid. I cannot generate any movement by pushing on it.

Hmm my garage roof is higher but the garage door hangs down lower. Can I see a pic of the clearance of the garage door?

I'll post a pic of the door tomorrow. I had to have it raised, which required the installation of a jack shaft opener. Not cheap, but a good solution.

GC, Here are some pictures of my lift. The jack shaft opener is very important to get a good install. I learned a very expensive lesson with my original Genie Screw Drive.

If your door opening is a standard height, you just need to add track extensions to "raise" the door out of the way of a car on the lift.

The door on the right has an extra door panel to allow the overhead door opener to reach it. You can see the extension in the tracks that make the door higher up when it is open.

The black "L" shaped piece is a car killer if you are not careful!!!!! That is what the jack shaft opener eliminates.

I promised a couple of pictures of my reconfigured garage door. It is hard to distinguish the door from the ceiling in the photos. In the raised position, the door is about an inch from the ceiling.

You got your garage door really close to the ceiling. Good Job. Looks nice.
