a ramp type thing that you use you floor

The roof was engineered for 30lb. as square 
foot. 4/12 pitch truss spaced @ 24in.

The Cathedral ceiling , plated 2X10 on each 
side of the two middle trusses and on one 
side of the two trusses adjoining the 
modified opening. Are rated @ 44lb a square 
foot. This acording to the guy at the TRUSS 
factory  whee I bought the orginial 
meterial from. It also has a safty factor 
of 2 built in.
So to answere your question. YES. I did 
have the integrity of the design checked B-4
I went ahead.

I got the notion. when they built a 
comercial garage a few miles form  home.
They used convential 2X6 with a 2X8 ridge 
board 16in centers, in it's two lift bays.
It was truss 24 in on center other then the 
8 ft bay openings.

Steve:
yea you can fall into it, lots of work to 
built one (steps, floor drain, 
etc.)  very limited to what you can work on 
compared to a lift.but if you 
don't have the height and depth a pit may 
be the answer. how many who want a 
lift have thought about height and depth of 
garage? without going into great 
details some of the lifts need 12-14 feet 
high ceilings when there is a car 
on the hoist. also if you got a car on 
hoist can you open the garage door? a 
chevelle is about 16 1/2 feet long  unless 
you do a roll up door you need  17 
feet minimum just to get car in (20 feet 
deep is tight) so with an 7-8 foot 
high door it would have to be another 10 
feet back for hard ware (door in up 
position). so for a lift unless it is just 
the shortie (3-4 feet high?) you 
need at least  30 feet in depth (35 feet  
would be better) and 12-14 foot in 
ceiling height.

 Larry


Alot of good thought but noy 100% right.
I have a garage and it's ceiling was 9'6" 
in the lift Bay and 24 ft wide. the roof is 
a 4/12 pitch. By plating the truss with 
2X10 and cutting out the center on two 
truss. I can lift the lift full hight and 
drive a car under it.
As for the track on the 8ft wide by 7 ft, 
high door .I got  track extenders and 
raised the track up 12in. vertically and 
along the ceiling. I know can put the door 
up with either the 64 conv or 65 El Camino 
on the lift. 
A 12 ft ceiling is the answer and a 9ft 
door.

You might want to check your local building codes, anonymously,  for items
like pits and drains.  Speaking from experience, if the health dept gets
involved with you project, you might wish you had never mentioned it.

In my last garage, a double,  I wanted a pit and a drain in the other stall.
The health dept required me to install a drainage pit for the drain at a
cost of around $1,500 and the 2' pit I wanted was a hazard and I needed to
install a removable railing. I was over budget and gave up.

I built one of those out of cement blocks into our old barn floor.  It works
great. When we poured the floor we framed out the pit so that 3/4 inch  was
recessed over the blocks.  That way we cut plywood to be the deck when the
pit was not in use.  I do of course worry about carbon monoxide being
heavier than air and never use the pit around a running engine.

a ladder would be fine but i doubt if code would allow it. i will get my code books out and also ask my teacher tonight. i really don't think you want to be down in a pit with a ladder. also i think even a ladder will take up 3-3 1/2 feet clearance beyond the car. i really think a pit if built right (sump pump, air removal, lights, safety, etc.) is almost cost prohibitive.

Hmmm...what about a ladder built into either the front or back?
It might make carrying stuff down into the pit more difficult but
it would reduce the overall length.

A friend of mine has an in-ground lift that he got from an old service
station years ago.  We used it for a transmission swap last summer and
it made all the difference in the world.  He already had the pole barn
so overhead space wasn't an issue but when he hit bedrock 3 feet into
the ground his headaches began...  ;^)

No, it's not an UL.

Recipe for shop disaster:
   take one pit that people can fall into
   add many years of oil and grease to the floor and walls
   waft in some solvent and gasoline fumes
   drop in one incandescent light for a ignition source and try to find the way
out through the flames without bashing your head on the bottom of the car :(

Now there are some things you can do to make them safer:
   1) build or buy grates to cover it when not in use
   2) keep it clean  We put down cardboard and then disposed of it as soon as it
got oily.
   c) suck out fumes with an air exhaust (made out of vacuum cleaner PVC and
poured into the walls) close to the pit floor and a fan on the far end for when
you are using it.

Just some ideas that we use to keep our pit safe.

something i forgot to add if you did build a pit. a 6 foot deep pit would need stairs  with risers and treads. it would take 9 risers (at 8 inch max.) and 8 treads (minimum 10 inches- 12 inches would be better) to get down. 9 x 8 = 72 inch rise and 8 x 10 or 12 = 80 (7 1/2 feet) to 96 (8 feet) inch run. so taking a 17 foot car and wanting to be able to get under it would take a pit  a minimum of  17 + 8 = 25 feet. plus you would want room in front of car and back of it. a minimum pit (25 feet) needs at least 30 feet above ground to be workable and probably 35 feet.

With the talk of underground pits, we have a relatively new lube shop a few
blocks away and they have a huge underground work pit to service four
vehicles at once, complete with huge oil storage tanks.  Maybe there's been
a regulation update to allow them?  One way in/out.  Wouldn't want to be
down there if there was an eruption of one of the tanks, that's for sure.

That is illegal in lots of places. Too easy for a kid or somebody else to
fall in and break their neck.

In NY it is illegal to build those pits, even in a professional mechanic's
shop. Pits that predate the law are grandfathered. The place I worked was
opened in 1950 and had one of those pits.

Funny you should mention that...not too many remember that trick. I was 
gonna do that in East Texas when I built the carporteasy when you start 
from scratch in the dirt...just make sure you've got one hell of a french 
drain if you're in the rainy zones.

Josh,
  Once upon a time they used to put a narrow "pit" with stairs in the
middle of one side of a garage so you could just walk under your car to work
on it. Might be something to consider, since you are building from scratch,
and working on cars is a priority. Anyone see any down side to that?

 I was shoping for a lift. I meet the guys 
from  Superior Lift @ Corvettes at Carlisle
 they treated me well and gave me a GREAT 
price.
been in use for over 2 years now. After you 
have one you ask your self , why you waited 
so long ! My wife call's it my YO-YO !!
I chose the Superior lift because of it's 
extra width between posts and extra lift 
heigth. Being 6'2" I need a little extra.
I can perform regulat maintance on my 
extended cab F-150 4X4 Truch , with out a 
problem. I don't think i would be ableto 
fit it on a M-6 ot back yard buddy.

How many of you here on this list have the fortune of
having a lift in your garage ?  If so, what are your
recommendations. What about smaller lifts for smaller
garages/applications.

Thanks,
