Subject: The site says the length of the lift is 208". Is that correct? Author: eaglecomm : member since March, 2006 : 3667 posts Posted on: 2007-02-05 15:08:10

Reason I ask is there is one from another company that is only 160" in total length so I was wondering if the DW lift could be shortened. 208" is pretty darn long for a typical garage. That would not be able to be moved around inside a garage if it runs the full length. That is almost the enire vehicle length of my iL.
