I concur

He had saw cut his garage floor and re-poured concrete lower so his lift sat in a box making the top level to floor. I remember thinking it was pretty cool, but that it was kinda crazy over the top too. Damn if I am not seriously considering doing that in my shop too now.
I would so much love to do that. It takes away a few inches from the total height when it's in the air, but the convenience of having as part of the floor, out of the way, and you can park on top of it far outweighs the loss of the overall height. The SAM model the OP bought helps in that regard as I think it's one of their taller models.

Handy Lift, save your back and your knees, once you have one you will kick yourself for not getting one 20 years ago.

This is my second Handy Lift, side extensions and rear wheel drop out, just under 2K with tax, shipping etc.

If I had a bigger garage, I would buy another one in a minute...

Wow.... I thought my little bike garage was clean and organized.... nice work space...!

I never even considered putting cardboard under my scissor jack when I use it on my lift table...

Thanks, I keep cardboard to put under the bike when working on it, a soft place to put expensive parts down on.

I have the B.O.B. 1500 Air Lift with the side panels, front and rear extensions. Not cheap but worth it to me.

I considered the BOB, but I wanted the 40" height of the SAM.

I bought a used Kendon stand up motorcycle lift. Although the top is not as wide as a regular table the legs are just as wide and it's just as stable as a full size lift. It does everything a table lift will do except take up space when not in use.

That's a MTV Cribs level garage there. Nice! Will you adopt me?

And nice Porsche 911…..
