[Shop-talk] Downsizing tools and maximizing garage space

[Richard George]

Patton,
There used to be lifts designed by harding-afg specifically for storing 
cars that would lift and/or tilt the upper vehicle in
various ways, varying from storing the cars above each other to simply 
tilting the front car forward so you could nose the other car in 
underneath it.
I have one of these and currently store two cars on top of each other in 
a garage with an 8' ceiling (with a beam in the middle(!)).

You might see if somebody still makes a unit like this.

Best,
rkg
