Re: {Chrysler 300} Lift advice



I was thinking of getting a 2 post lift for ease of working.  I have 2 4 post lifts that seem to be permanently occupied.  I was thinking of mounting the lift on a couple of steel plates bolted to the floor that would give a larger footprint and more strength.  Does this seem feasible?

Good point!

4 post lifts need minimum 4" slab no anchors, 2 posts usually need more and must be anchored.

In all the discussion on this topic, no one has mentioned anything about the floor you put your lift on. Make certain you have sufficient floor strength to handle the weight.

Scott, I picked up an Atlas lift about 5 years ago (see attached model manual).  I picked this one because it is oversize and would accommodate my two Chrysler's.  It is not bolted down and I have never used the post lifts to move it around.  In the attached picture I have my G conv on top with my '56 Windsor below.  
 
I have worked on both cars on this lift plus I have a 2012 Jeep Grand Cherokee 4x4 and had no problems size wise with the lift (I opted for the 110v motor).
 
Hope this helps in your decision.

  For those of you with four post lifts that are not bolted down, how hard are they to move around?  Can one person do it? 
  We have a new three car garage at the house and I’m considering a couple of four post ones for storage… most likely with Chryslers on the ground and something lighter up top.  
  I want something with an electric lift, would prefer no air but have air available if needed.  Thinking about two, four post models but I’d like to not bolt them down if possible.

I want to purchase a lift, and would appreciate advice.

While my preference would be an asymmetric chassis lift for maximum accessibility, I also want to use the lift for car storage.

So, I think that means a “drive on lift”, with accessories to allow wheel removal etc.

Any recommendations? 

I have no restrictions as this will be new construction.
