Matt talks about making a lift stop with switches on the lift.
Matt (and others) this isn't a flame or anything, but instead of putting
the lift stop on the lift, you would want it on the ceiling. That way,
if you put a differant car on the lift, it would still work.
Radio shack has a light sensor that could trip a relay that would shut
off the lift. Mount the unit on the ceiling (about 2 inches from the
top) Run the light beam from the front to back, instead of side to
side. That would work fine and only cost about $40.
LMK if you need any help with plans.
FWIW, I use a traffic light hooked up to these sensor to tell me when I
get my car in far enough. They are real easy to set up.
