If you have 12' of ceiling height, get a wide one with clear floor underneath. Then you just swing the arms out of the way with plenty of room to drive in and open your doors without hitting the uprights. If you move and take it with you, you will have to specifically exempt it from the sales contract (it's bolted to the floor) and you have the logistics of unbolting, disassembling, and moving a 1500lb object. Then you need to have about 4" of good concrete and 12' of overhead clearance at the new garage. There are floor plate lifts that can fit under a 9' or 10' ceiling, but you would be driving over the hump in the middle and if you might have to be careful about hoisting your car into the ceiling. (with any hoist, if you don't have 16' ceilings you better not be hoisting with the hood open) Mitch. _______________________________________ http://www.okiebenz.com For new parts see official list sponsor: http://www.buymbparts.com/ For used parts email [EMAIL PROTECTED] To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com
