If one were limited to an outdoor installation of a two post lift, what "weatherization" measures would you take. This Vermont, with cold snowy winters, pouring rains and hot and humid summer weeks on end.
Just that I've been thinking of a lift, but the present shop is low ceiling, and there really is no land for "another building".
From what I have read, the lifts are not designed for outdoor installation. That said, I have a friend with one that is installed outdoors, and have seen others. Though installation indoors would be preferable, I would think that with some basic maintenance (lubrication of cables, pulleys, protection of motor, etc), you could probably be alright outdoors.
I would do some research and see how others have fared with outdoor installation of the model you are looking at using.
