I use the CarBag every year on my Bendpak HD-9. It's no issue, works great.

It looks like your ramps are treadplate, but on the Bendpaks there is an abrasive baked into the powedercoat which will damage the bag. I put some ~18" square interlocking floor tiles over my ramps to make a smoother surface, and I lay the bag over that.

we have 2 car bags and Ive never bagged a car on the lift, but I guess it would work but I figure it would not be easy

Thanks again guys. I really appreciate the comments.

Yes Supreme, that is diamond plate - I think it will be ok. I’m going to order a car bag and give it a shot.

mark post pics when you get it on the lift, and identify tips or tricks for easy placement.

Mark. How tall is your ceiling and what lift are you using?

My ceiling height is 131 inches. This is an Atlas 8000 EXT. it is exactly the same as the Direct Lift, but it has the std foot print and an 84 inch lift height. In that pic there is 64 inches clear under the lift.

Just a tip, after positioning car let it sit until at ambient temperature before covering and buttoning up, or push into position and cover button up. Engine start up creates condensation one doesn’t want to bag and seal with the car.
