Small Lift/ramp For Storage

I'm toying with ideas on utilising the space in my garage, and and seeing if it's possible to get a lift installed for storage so I can get another car underneath
It's not a massive garage, but there's definitely roof space for a mini
Garage is
5m long 2.5m wide and 3.9m at highest point of roof
Width seems to be the issue for any 4 post ramps I'm seeing on ebay/Google
Has anyone ever used or had experience with the single post lifts?
I don't plan on particularly using it for doing any work. It's more for winter storage when the minis not being used so it can basically be shoved in the air and allow me to use the garage as if the mini wasn't there...
2 post lifts it seems you need to have specific concrete floors..
4 post would be ideal but I'm struggling to find anything that would be narrow enough for my garage
Would be great for any tips/links or if someone's had a particularly good or bad experience

For a narrow parking ramp look at the BendPak PL-7000DLX. It has a good spec and is 2489mm wide.
BendPak do a good range of 4 post and scissor ramps too, their website might be worth a look.

There is a company that does a hand jacking 4 poster that should suit perfectly. But I can not remember the name.

Now that does sound interesting. As I don't plan on putting the car up and down a lot.. pretty much once or twice a year for storage/if I want to do something in the garage for a few days without leaving the car outside.. the Google search shall commence!

I tried but my Google Fu is lacking at the moment. They will also custom make it for width/length and height.
