Re: Lift in Garage - is this harmfull

I have been keeping a mid year on a 2 post lift for a good 8 years now. I drive it maybe once a month and notice no differenc compared to my 2 that are stored on the ground.

Jeff,

Since you have a Mohawk lift take a look at the following link:

http://www.mohawklifts.com/consumer/tire.php

I had been looking at Mohawk lifts a while back (still haven't made a decision) but these adaptors looked like a neat way to have both worlds. They are probably pricey and I don't know if they are compatible with your model but thought I would offer the comment.

Very interesting - might ask Mark Tulley since he's a lift professional if he's had any experience with 2 post tire support attachments. Mark's a TDB Member if he doesn't respond send him an e-mail. Gary....

Re: Lift in Garage - is this harmfull

Jeff, question about the floor thickness in your garage - concrete thickness needs to be at least 5 inches thick for a 2 post lift. Gary....

4" with 6 bag or 4000 psi mix,wire mech and a good 21AA sub base is a must,
will do the trick for a 3 ton lift

Any chance of an earthquake where you live?

Just a thought...

Yes - I have more then the 5"
No - Not much chance of earthquakes in South Florida.

Hurricanes - that is another story.

There was a story in the Restorer years ago about a 62 that was left up and came down sideways in an earthquake. It even had pictures if I remember right. Don H.

Cat claws go right through car covers, and take little diamond-shaped chips out of the paint. Look like stone chips until you figure out what they really are. Ask me how I know.

Better put some furniture pads under the cover, if the cat isn't de-clawed. I doubt it is if it got up there.

Yes - I know all about that
