    Awesome! Reminds me of going to the Petersen Museum when they had 1 of every year of Corvette.

    do these come as individual lifts or are they in pairs?
    we are looking to rebuild our burned garage in naples and have been looking at various lifts - bendpak makes 1,2, and 3 car platform lifts specifically that we were looking at, but i am open to suggestion. we are planning to put in somewhere between 12 and 16 cars

    pls tell me more

    We purchased individual lifts, positioned very closely together. They are from Bendpak as well. Here's a link to the specific model that we purchased:
    BendPak PL-7000XR Auto Stacker Parking Lift, 7,000 Lb. Capacity, Two-Post, Extended Rise

    I attached a photo of how they are secured to the ground.

    Hope that helps!

    These lifts are very good looking in person and look incredibly stable. Thanks Adam/Meagan for the time this morning.

    Merlin's inventory continues to grow and is a great variety of high end cars.

    I am thinking of getting one of these lifts. Thanks for posting. I assume you have been happy with the BendPak lifts?

    If this weren't a dealer, this thread should have a NSFW warning!

    Yes! So far, so good. They're easy to work with. The only piece of advice we would offer to Ferrari owners is to take care when reversing an F1 car onto the lift. Takes a lot of gas pedal to get the car up there, which is hard on the older clutches in reverse (mainly 355s, 360s, F430s). The newer clutches should be fine.

    It's only made challenging as a result of how close together the lifts are positioned in our warehouse. They're literally side by side. We make it work. If you just had one or two in your garage, it would be a piece of cake!
