What about making something like this over towards the side against the wall.

Have your ranger crew fabricator fab up a basket and a mount for the ceiling and buy a harbor freight electric winch....im not sure I would want to be storing things that were super heavy or bulky up in the loft anyways. Not that the loft can't handle it but it's going to be somewhat awkward and dangerous getting it up there with the lift program. 4 post lifts are cool for stacking but I wouldn't want one becuse I would need a lift capable of working on cars and removing suspension.

Thinking about this one, and sticking it on 1 1/2 tall concrete pads..

Dave, my friend has a 8000lbs Danmar My car on it, you can walk underneath it when fully raised.

Had my 6000lbs Navi on it too, rock solid.:thumbsup

If you block up/lift the posts it will defeat the purpose of putting your trailer on it for storage when not in use.

You going to build some new ramps? The lift will only lower down to the bottom of the post and now you've raised it 1.5 feet. Gonna need some long ramps for a decent angle to get the boat on it.

The ramps will be 1 1/2 feet off ground

That's what I'd do. Build a couple long wood ramps you can throw under the factory ramps when it is gonna be used and can be put off to the side when not. Simple, cheap, easy....

short answer is yes just some hinged ramps was what i was thinking?

Don't you think a concrete pad may crumble with all that weight on it. :eek Maybe a steel pad.

That's what I was thinking. Saw cutting the concrete and pouring new pads 2' deep along with the new height in a monolithic pour?

Yep....

That block deal sounds sketchy as hell unless done correctly. 1.5' is a big rise and I would want it bolted down to avoid a shift.

Can you lift boats in these though? That's my issue, is like to stack a couple small boats

 

[AFUEL7067]

To put a 21 schiada under or on a lift you are going to need to order a lift with 110 inches inside dimension post to post my vector just fit with the guide bars on it .you dont see many used lifts that wide .

i found a new one for 2,250..


as it stands i had my buddy chuck come over and plan out my loft program.. it all pretty much went to shit.. lack of height etc.. interesting how the ither contractor didn't bring up any of the issues.

anyhow i'm going a different direction now.
