So i've always dreamed of having a hoist and today i started the journey towards having one...

i was going to build a carport to house my rally car on my trailer off to one side of my driveway, then it hit me... if i concrete the floor and build it high enough, i could install a hoist under it

so at this stage i'm starting to wonder who could offer advice on what type of hoist? who is good to buy from? etc

I really want a 2 post so i can lift by the chassis and work on the four corners of the car without any hassle

looking at a couple of websites the typical lift height is 1800mm so im looking at making the carport with 3500mm clearance so i can lift vehicles of 1700mm from sills to roof (dad's terracan measures about 1500mm)

an idea i also had today was to put a metal beam across the two front verticles of the carport in order to use this for a chain block for lifting motors
