I installed a MaxJax in my garage last year and am happy with it. My ceiling height is 10 feet, but it would work just as well in an 8 foot ceiling garage. I liked the fact that you can unbolt it and move it out of the way if needed. At 6000 lb capacity, it lifts my cobra with little effort.
Make sure your slab meets the minimum requirements. Mine did. I used the wedge anchors that came with the lift and have not had any issues.
If you watch the Danmar website, you can catch it on sale. They offer free shipping. I picked it up at the freight dock and unloaded it with my engine hoist.

I put one in the floor for the first time for me. Always had post lifts in the race shops but this time in a new home shop I wanted the floor clear and clean. There are some things you can't do with a scissor lift I suppose but it's been a few years now and I just don't have any regrets at all. This one supposedly has a 7000 lb capacity, but I never plan to test that or even close. Wasn't cheap but it's been flawless. Good luck!

Looks cool when not in use I do not like working near open pits so that would not work for me just my opinion . Be safe my friend. |

4 post lift in a low ceiling garage
Don't let a low ceiling keep you from installing a 4 post lift. Here's a picture of mine installed in my garage with an 8 foot ceiling. I cut access holes for the windshield and roll bar which created enough height for me to work under the car. I'm not a tall person but it sure worked for me.

I have used every type of hoist, they all have advantages and disadvantages.
My favourite for floor safety (transmission removal etc) is a two poster with overhead gantry, but you need a shed with 14' + ceiling in the centre.

We have many members of GLCC who have done the same thing...notch a pocket in the ceiling. Works great!

The Danmar website had a Valentines special that ran during the month of February offering the 6000 lb capacity lift for $1599, free shipping and no tax.
If I get the same results you did, it will be well worth it! |

You did well, that’s about what I paid for it. PM me if you have any questions on the install. I live in NE Dallas, so not far from you.
