Q. How tall must my garage be?
A. Ceiling height can be as low as 9’. You must consider what you are stacking. With a deeper garage you
can gain space by elevating your stored vehicle as high as possible, leaving room for the nose of your other
vehicle to go below it. (See Will if Fit Page)
Q. Do you have to bolt the lift down?
A. No, the stinger lift is self supporting and does not need to be bolted down. An optional caster kit is available
to make the lift mobile.
