What is the height on the garage? Also does it have a stop (Physical or limit switch) so you don't hit the garage door opener as from the pics looks like it could get close.
Again, very nice fit for your collection.

The garage height is 120 inches(10ft). I've marked the lift so I know when to stop..

I have had a side mounted motor for the garage door lift fitted so I can take full advantage of my garage 11'6". Pretty sweet design, because it allows the door to go straight up for a few feet and then curve back. That way only a few feet of garage door comes under the ceiling. Greatly improves the room above the cars.

Congrats on a sweet collection of cars. You should look into an I-Torsion garage door opener. It mounts on the wall above the garage door and rolls the door up. You can now also raise the garage door rails to just below the ceiling. It takes the place of the ceiling mount to give you much more clearance. That is what I did in my garage when I got my lift. Also, it is quiet and opens and closes faster.

That's a real interesting question. I researched this extensively. The rotary and other similar designed units are only approved based upon them being bolted to the floor. Then they go and sell casters for their units?
If you look st pics on the web sites, you can see that these systems are rarely bolted down. Hmmmmm.
