An ideal place for a small gun or ammunition safe!

Why would something like that be hydraulic? It's not lifting any real weight. A simple motor and pulley would have done the job cheaper and easier.

i would guess it's because there is something out there that is ready made for this. some motorbike lift or something that lifts 2 foot, and can sit under a unit.
motor and pulley would probably require some fabrication.

as for gun cabinets and the like. its certainly an idea, although if implemented upstairs I think you might spot it when downstairs!! haha.
certainly something to think about for gaining some extra space in the garage though. you just need room above.

Valid point.
