Will it fit in your garage?

Start with a car lift. Type your ceiling height and see what fits, drawn to scale. We give straight answers, including no.

inches

= 10 ft 0 in

Tallest car or truck

Baseplate two-post fits

Side view, drawn to scale

Up to 57 in of rise with a sedan. That's room to stand under it.

Check your slab and power next

This assumes a 4 in slab in good shape. The full check asks about yours.

How every check works

  1. Measure the right thing

    We ask for the numbers that make or break it, like the lowest thing overhead. Not the ceiling height you think you have.

  2. Check the deal-breakers first

    Slab, power and clearance get checked before we show you a single product. If one fails, you see that first.

  3. Get a straight answer

    Fits, limited or too tall, with the inches to back it up. Copy the link to share your exact garage.

We say no when the answer is no.

A lift on a thin or fresh slab can pull out of the floor. We stop you before you shop, even if it costs us the sale.

Blocked before you shop

A 3 in slab is too thin. A 10,000 lb lift needs 4 in. A new reinforced pad runs about $1,500 to $3,000.
