Vehicle Lift

BendPak GrandPrix GP-9LC (2-Post Floorplate)

Leading candidate for the bay 3 two-post lift (final selection deferred to stage 6). The floorplate / low-ceiling design eliminates the overhead crossbar, which is what makes it fit under the 10’ ceiling. SKU# 5175825.

Key verified specs (see Lift for full detail):

• Capacity: 9,000 lbs (4,500 lbs per axle)
• Electrical: 208–230 VAC, 1-phase, ≈23 A draw — 25 A min time-delay breaker/fuse, separate circuit per power unit
• Overall raised height: 109.5” (to top of cylinder) — fits under 120” ceiling
• Drive-thru clearance: 103” · Width inside columns: 113.5” · Rise: 70”
• Includes 10-piece concrete wedge anchors; 36-month warranty
• Not ALI certified (BendPak value/floorplate line) — see Safety Certifications

BendPak XPR-9S-LP (2-Post Floorplate, Low-Pro Arms)

Premium BendPak floorplate alternative to the GP-9LC, compared head-to-head in XPR-9S-LP vs GP-9LC — Head-to-Head. SKU# 5175391. Like the GP-9LC it is a floorplate design and is not ALI certified (BendPak forgoes ALI cert on floorplate models). Brochure download was blocked; specs captured from the manual.

Key specs: 9,000 lbs · overall height 113” · rise 72” · max lift 78” (80.5” w/2.5” adapter) · adjustable width 132”/145” · Low-Pro arms · 220 VAC 1-phase, 25 A min time-delay circuit · slab 4.25” min / 3,000 PSI.

ALI-Certified Low-Ceiling Alternatives (on file for comparison)

The certified options that fit a 10’ ceiling (the BendPak floorplate lifts above are not ALI certified). See If ALI certification is the priority.

Both brands appear as participating manufacturers in the live ALI Certified Lift Directory (verify exact model there at purchase time — the directory search is a JS form that must be run manually).

Fire & Life Safety Detectors

First Alert / BRK hardwired detectors for the garage interconnect chain. Selection, zoning, vendor pricing, and the Home Assistant bridge are documented in Smoke, Heat, and CO Detection System.

The garage→house alerting bridge hardware (BRK RM4 relay, Shelly Plus i4, Ecolink Firefighter) is documented — with its own manuals — in the homelab project (Garage → Fire & Life Safety Alerting), since the HA integration lives there.
