If you're in the mood to spend $10k and wait 4 months, you could get a Mohawk System 1A-10. It's a 10,000 lb. lift made in the USA. Tower height is 103", pad height is 3-1/2". Image Unavailable, Please Login The lift can fully extend (6' under car) with the 360 in my garage with a 10' (exactly) ceiling.
I stumbled upon this today! It appears that the 4.75" is probably to the top of the swing arm slider. When adding the pad it comes to 6". The diagram in the Bendpak manual is very confusing and misleading. These are measured heights. Image Unavailable, Please Login
I think you will be happy especially with our mid engine ferrari s Not the greatest for the front engine ones though Sent from my moto g power using Tapatalk
Haven't tried it but did some crude calculations a while back and I THINK I could just get the 355 and 328 stacked one over the other. Forget "normal" height cars. You have about an additional 3 inches of ceiling height to your benefit. In any event, I have no intention trying to store the cars that way. You certainly could raise one a bit and then push another one partially underneath to, for example, the base of the windshield. That would give some additional space inside the garage behind the car which is on the ground.
You might want to consider a very drpenable American made 4 post. Backyard Buddy. Great series of lifts including extra wide buddy which accomodates exotic cars and extra wide newer suvs. Www.advantagelifts.com
Great lift choice! When I can pour concrete in my machine shed I’m going with a Mohawk. I love the overbuilt nature and quality.

Where do you position it relative to the car? I assume the roller wheels are in the front and the fixed point is in the rear. Where do you place the car relative to that fixed point? Aligned with the rear frame lift points? Aligned with the rear u-channel lift points? Something else?
The lift has has the wheels in the rear of my cars The lift just clears the dry oil sump when i align the car on top of it I try to keep the center of gravity in the middle of the lift with arms extended as equal as possible .. i don't usually move the lift .. i move the different cars forward and back to balance as much as i can Once i think i have a good position ..i mark the center of the car wheels on the wood planks so that i know where was the best position All that being said i don't think it makes a difference which side you use forward or rear ..i know some cars will benefit for one way vs the other The lift points are right behind the front wheels and in the rear where the frame rails met ..this is the suggested lift points that most use ..i am sure you can see them being a little worn from the various times it has been in shop I have a 512 TR so not sure if that is the same as the 348 ..so not sure if that what you were looking for Sent from my moto g power using Tapatalk
Hey, what do you do in terms of the orientation of the bendpak lift and the relative location of the car above it?
My ramps have stops to position the car when in garage. The BendPak lift is under the car. At stops, centered on ramps positions the car for service if needed. I favor the rear lift arms at main jack points. Front arms/pads see very little load. I also have thin steel plats at the front wheels of the lift. Over time the wheels were wearing into the cement floor.
Do you have the fixed point of the lift below the rear of the car or did you put the roller end under the rear of the car?
360 is backed into garage(Not great for an F1 car but required). Lift rollers are toward front of car. Hydraulic unit etc back. Easier to access safety lock and work in my situation.
Good Question! Driveway slopes down to garage(under family room). Wide drain to collect rain water spans both sides of the garage. 360(and my former 355/348s) would scrape at the transition. Cannot angle in(stone wall on side). So have to back in and up ramps over lift. Not good for extending F1 life!
Wow, that is a challenge. So when the car is in, what part of the back end is over the part of the lift that stays fixed on the ground? Rear jack points, rear axle...something in between?
On page 1 I posted a photo of my 355 spider with powertrain removed. Garage is a bit messy. You can see the stationary pivot point where I have the lift positioned. Difficult to see but far ramp the yellow stop gives a rough idea of position. Right or not, has worked safely for my former 348, 355 and current 360.
