Reclaiming dead space in my single car garage
So having a single garage has it's challenges especially on garbage day. So here's my solution to driving the car in straight in and reclaiming all the dead space to once side.

not really in detail but did post some detials on my garage journal thread
V groove casters running on an angle iron that was cut into the Swisstrax floor so it sits flush with the floor. I had custom aluminum plates fabricated for the pads. My initial calculations were wrong and the aluminium bent up more then expected so now I have and get the ramps bent down a little more. Now I just got to figure out how to motorize it. I was thinking using a winch motor and some type of screw or worm drive.

Great idea Adam! I just reverse my car as close as possible to the wall. This would make life so much easier.

This is ingenious, it's amazing how much space is lost (or gained) by moving a car 1-2 feet to the side.
Doing something similar with floor jacks we were able to (not nearly as easily as you, and with much more headaches) temporarily fit 3 cars in a 2 car garage.

Hmm, that elevator has me thinking way too much. I have a three car with three car underneath excavated, it would be nice to be able to put some in the downstairs garage. Right now it is only for the off-road toys as I have to drive through the grass to get there. Wife will kill me

Now that is seriously cool!!
(I'll dispense with my engineer comments about the lack of safety fences to protect folks from falling or being injured while the elevator is in motion).
