How large of a garage is needed for auto lifts and accessories?
How large a garage is needed for an auto lift and accessories will rely on the type of lift and the kinds of accessories you're looking to add. To consider how large or how much room you'll need in your garage, consider the following:
- Clearance height. You can have ample floor space, but if your garage has a low ceiling or overhead storage you might not have the room to use an auto lift.
- Next, floor space. How much space can you dedicate to the lift? When not in use, the posts will still need space.
- Placement and access. You'll need to be able to move around the lift and to be able to access it. A large space, a lift may be placed in a corner or angle. Most lifts, however, will be aligned with the entry door or bay.
