We offer a simple formula to determine what the ceiling height must be, or whatever the overhead obstruction is.
Just add the height of both vehicles –
The car that is going under, and one going above.
Then add ten inches.
That’s how tall your ceiling must be, or whatever the overhead obstruction is must be.
This factors in all of the variables, including the runway thickness, the fact that you must raise the runways 2 inches to lower the lift, and the possibility that the locking positions might not line up perfectly with the height of your specific vehicles.
It is possible you may get by with slightly less than that ten inch add-on in our formula, but the formula is the only way we will guarantee it will fit.
Hope this helps.
