Sky hook?

So we all in these strange times may have a few extra minutes to work on our projects and/or ponder our navels.

I have always read with great interest all the posts talking about lifts: scissor lifts, two post lifts, four post lifts etc.

They all have their pros and cons including height, posts in the way, floor recesses for the scissor lifts, accessibility under the car etc etc etc.

So after my second irish coffee this morning, I had a eureka moment. We need a sky hook!

I’m certifiably nuts. Or drunk. Right?

Well maybe not. I got to thinking about all the cool ways I’ve seen cars lifted. And stored.

My first thought was the method race cars are loaded into the back of race car transporters. You’ve seen them. Flat decks that move the car up with cables and motorized screw jack principles. Think of that attached to the side wall or rear wall of your garage.

And if you’ve ever seen Denbeste’s wall of Cobras mounted on industrial cantilivered racking arms.

Think of pivoting or removable/ latch in place cantilevered arms attached to your garage side wall or end wall to support your car in the air.

So maybe cantilevered rack arms on a vertical motorized screw jack mounted to the side wall of the garage.

Yeah yeah, I know. Most residential garage wall structures aren’t built for that. That can be strengthened.

One more irish coffee and I’ll have this figured out.

Or I’ll be passed out.

Cheers
