We have a tractor that can lift 800 lbs. If it comes in one big box, can we open it and move it in more manageable amounts?
Yes, it is in one big box. It is about 2 ft by 2 ft by the length of the rails. It is unbelievably heavy, so once it is in your garage, you won't be sliding it around.
Once there, you can start taking it apart in pieces. I would guess the tractor can lift the rails individually.
Helpful?
The pump and arms are packed with the posts, the posts can be seperated and moved. YES
Helpful?
The lift is shipped to you on a skid. You will be able to move the individual components with your tractor.

Bottle jacks keep being mentioned, but after a quick review of the manual, I can't find a reference to there use. What are they for, and what size is needed?
You can use the bottle jacks to lift the vehicle while it's on a hoist--helpful if you need to remove a wheel or two from the vehicle. You can also use a bottle jack while on a separate crossmember between the ramps to lift or support heavy items under a vehicle. Capacity needed depends on the intended use.
Helpful?
This 4-post lift includes a jack tray that would support bottle jacks. The bottle jacks would be used to raise the vehicle off the upper platform/tracks to remove the wheels for service. This jack tray with bottle jacks are shown in the third picture under the main picture of the item. The bottle jacks aren't included with the lift.

One person can do most of the work, but laying the rails will be difficult on your own. I put up the 4 posts myself, then asked 3 friends over for about 15 minutes to put the rails on. The rest I completed myself. I guess about a total of 5 hours all in to put it together. I have read that some people have put it together with 2 people using an engine hoist to raise the rails, so I suppose you might be able to do it yourself with a list but I think the 3 friend plan is the best bet.
Helpful?
At least two people are needed to install this item. Average install time is 8 hours. The install time could be less due to a persons mechanical background.
Helpful?
I had someone deliver it on a flatbed. They slid it most of the way in the garage, then used the flatbed to slide it in the rest of the way.
Helpful?
You would need to have a way to unload this off the truck since the item is to big for a truckers liftgate to lower to the ground.
Helpful?
I believe it is made in china, however, it is very high quality. The ones made in the USA were double the cost.
Helpful?
The Dannmar lift comes from China.

I'm cutting it close on ceiling height, and need to know the lower clearance of each lock position to add the upper vehicle height to that number. Simply adding the height of both vehicles together and adding 7" won't do it... Need to know where the lock positions are exactly.
There are 12 lock positions. The first lock is at 18.5", then there is 4.5 " between each lock.
Helpful?
The Danmar 4 post auto lift comes with approach ramps and the dimensions are 36 1/2" L x 17" W.
Helpful?
How do I compute the minimum ceiling height I will need? I assume that the minimum height will be the sum of the heights of the two cars plus something to account for the thickness of the runway as well as where the locks are located.
You would need to measure the height of both your vehicles, from the tires to the top of the roof. Then add 7" to that. This will let you know if you have enough room in your garage to make it work.
Helpful?
This item is for indoor use only.

The solid plate is not included, it is a option. You can call us for price and availability.
