    Hi guys-
    Looking to remodel our house and incorporate a new garage. Most people have lifts that go up but given our hillside I need one that goes down for extra vehicle storage (basically a two story garage). Something that you can drive on then drop below. I found Vasari lifts. Anyone have experience or opinions on this company or others that I can look at. Post here or PM me.

    As the garage is designed I'll post a new thread.

    Thanks for any help!

    I looked at this years ago, there was one called phantom park. Cost was about 10x a regular lift (I.e. 40-50k) but it was much different than a standard lift.

    I've always thought that was a great idea. Unfortunately living here in Florida I don't think I can have a subterranean lift like that one. They also have a pool that can vanish and turn into a patio. Amazing stuff!

    Thanks farrbar on the phantom park lift. I'll take a look at them too.

    To Kylec I need to be able to drive on, drop that car down and as that lifts descends a platform drops from above where I'd be able to pull another car onto it at that upper level. I haven't see a 2 vertical platform 4 post drive on lift. needs to also pass california building inspections.

    Images will be posted in a few months which will be clear. Thanks guys

    Make sure your insurances cover this.
