The great thing is that this kind of lift (Backyard Buddy) is exceptionally stable, and doesn't require anchoring. The problem for the majority of folks in the US is that most garage ceilings are not more than 9.5-10'. That won't work, at least for stacking cars... A view from the front...

What is the brand of this lift?

Backyard Buddy. They are expensive, but have an impeccable reputation. If you want to order one, get ready, as it is not uncommon for them to be 8-10 weeks out. I have been exceptionally pleased. Check out the picture gallery that can be accessed via the company web site...

If you are considering a lift I'd take a look at Bedpak. I had the BYB and was perfectly happy with it. However, I thought it was expensive and I hated the way all the locking mechanisms were exposed. Bendpak was cheaper and appears to be of similar quality. Time will tell....

...Damn! Firs, love these garage setups are boss! that said, to SFT33,...Man! Keep that E28,....and the E60,....and the E34,....pitch the bikes. It's easier to get another 'good' bike than another 'good' older M5!

...don't ever let me hit the lottery!
