Everyone measures the doorway. In a building where every space has its own four post lift, the number that decides it is the ceiling, and it has to clear the lift and the vehicle together.
Drive something lifted, something tall, or something with a rack on the roof, and you’ve probably been told to measure your vehicle. That’s the right instinct. It’s aimed at the wrong opening. REVCity Auto Storage is at 7185 Bermuda Rd, Las Vegas, NV 89119. Every space here has a four post lift in it, and that changes the arithmetic completely. Call 725-272-1803 with your numbers and we’ll tell you straight. Here’s how to get those numbers first.
Search for this and you’ll get the same advice everywhere. Measure your vehicle, compare it to the door, leave a few inches. That advice comes from garages and self storage roll up doors. In those buildings the door really is the tightest point.
It isn’t here. It isn’t at any facility that puts a lift in every space. A vehicle that clears the entrance has only proved it can get inside. It still has to go up.
That’s the gap. You can pass the test everyone hands you and still be told no on arrival, because nobody mentioned the second test. The owners who get caught out aren’t careless. They answered the question they were given.
A door tells you whether your vehicle fits in the building. A lift tells you whether it fits in the space. Those are different numbers and the second one is usually the one that bites.
Here’s the whole calculation. It’s addition, and you can do it in your driveway this afternoon.
Take the height of the lift when it’s raised to working position. Add the overall height of your vehicle, measured as it sits today. Add a buffer on top so nothing touches the ceiling, lights or sprinkler heads. That total is what the room has to give you. It’s always a good deal more than your vehicle on its own.
Here’s the scale of it. Lift vendor planning material, including AutoLeap’s lift installation guide, lands near thirteen feet of ceiling for a four post lift carrying an ordinary vehicle. Treat that as vendor planning guidance written for shop owners. It isn’t a building code and it isn’t a REVCity measurement. We’ve quoted it to show how fast the number grows once a lift enters the picture.
| What to measure | Why it decides the outcome | How to get it right |
|---|---|---|
| Overall vehicle height | This is the number that stacks on top of the lift, so an error here is an error in the total. | Measure to the highest fixed point as the vehicle sits now, on the tyres it’s wearing today. |
| Anything bolted on | A rack, a light bar, a roof tent, an antenna or a shark fin all count, and people forget all five. | Walk round the vehicle and measure what’s actually fitted rather than what came from the factory. |
| Suspension lift and tyre size | A lift kit and oversized tyres both raise ride height, and they add together. | Measure rather than adding the advertised inches, because real world ride height rarely matches the box. |
| Width at the mirrors | Width decides whether the vehicle can sit square on the runways with room to open a door. | Measure mirror to mirror, then again folded, and tell us both numbers. |
| Wheelbase and overhang | A long vehicle can sit on a lift and still hang past the runways at one end. | Measure axle to axle, then note how far the body carries on past each axle. |
Write those five numbers on your phone before you call anybody, not just us. Any serious facility will ask you for the same five. Having them ready turns a vague conversation into a straight answer.
Nearly every bad surprise traces back to one habit. People look up the published specification for their model and use that.
Published height is for a standard vehicle on standard tyres with nothing on the roof. If that described your vehicle you wouldn’t be reading a page about oversized storage. Fit a lift kit, go up a tyre size, add a rack or bolt on a light bar, and the published figure stops describing your truck.
There’s a second trap underneath that one. Suspension settles and sags over time. A vehicle carrying weight sits lower than an empty one. Measure it empty, the way it’ll arrive. Measure it on level ground rather than on a sloped driveway.
If your vehicle has air suspension, note what it measures at its normal ride height and what it measures raised. We need to know which one it’ll be sitting at, because some vehicles can’t be lowered once they’re shut down.
None of this takes long. A tape measure, ten minutes and somebody to hold the other end is the whole exercise. It’s a great deal cheaper than arriving with a vehicle that has to turn round and go home again.
We’d rather be straight with you than impressive. Some things about this building we publish openly. Others we won’t put on a web page, because the honest answer depends on your vehicle and on the space that’s free when you call.
Everything in the left column is true of every space here and doesn’t change. Everything in the right column is a real question with a real answer. That answer comes from a person looking at your numbers, not from a page.
| Published, and true of every space | Worth asking us directly |
|---|---|
| A BendPak four post lift in every space | The height, width and length your vehicle can work with here |
| Temperature held between 50 and 70°F all year | Whether there’s a weight limit that affects your vehicle |
| Relative humidity held between 40 and 50% all year | What’s actually available right now, and when |
| A sealed building rather than a converted warehouse | How you’d get the vehicle in and out, and with how much notice |
| One address, 7185 Bermuda Rd, Las Vegas, NV 89119 | What your insurer will want from us in writing |
You’ll notice we haven’t printed a ceiling height, a door size or a weight limit. That’s deliberate. We won’t publish a number that sends you driving across town on the strength of it. The only answer that helps you is about the specific space you’d be taking. Call 725-272-1803 with your five measurements and you’ll get a yes or a no, not a maybe.
If you’re weighing this up against other options, the questions worth asking any storage facility covers the ground that applies whatever you drive, and our indoor car storage page explains how the building itself works. Something genuinely large, like a motorhome or a towable, belongs on the RV and motorhome page instead.
Size is what brings people to this page, but it isn’t the only thing that decides where a valuable vehicle spends the next year.
A sealed building does more than hold a temperature. It keeps out the dust that gets into everything in this valley. It keeps the vehicle out of sight. Access runs through people rather than through a roll up door on a public row. If you’re used to self storage, that’s the biggest practical difference you’ll notice.
Insurance is worth a call of its own before you move anything. Insurers treat a stored vehicle differently from a driven one. Several will reduce what you pay while it’s off the road. They’ll want to know where it’s kept and what the building is like. We’re happy to have that conversation with them directly.
For anything beyond a few months, our long term storage guidance covers what changes once a vehicle is sitting rather than resting, from tyres and fluids through to how often somebody should be laying hands on it.
Storing an oversized vehicle follows the same shape almost everywhere. Knowing the order helps, because most of the work happens before the vehicle moves.
It starts with the call and your five measurements. That’s where fit gets settled against a space that actually exists, rather than against a number on a page. If you’d rather see the building before you commit, you’re welcome to book a walkthrough and look at it yourself.
Once you’re happy, you reserve the space and go through the terms. They’re worth reading properly for a vehicle that’ll sit for months.
Then you have to get it here. Plenty of owners simply drive in. If yours isn’t road legal right now, or you’re not in town, a transport company can deliver it instead. We can take a transporter delivery when you’re not present, and Dustin or one of the shop managers is here to accept the vehicle. Call ahead so we can schedule the timing and be ready for the drop off.
If you’d rather not arrange transport at all, REVCity coordinates enclosed concierge transport to collect a vehicle from your home. The concierge pickup and delivery page covers how that side works.
Once it’s inside, it goes up on its own lift. The climate stays where it stays, the tyres come off the ground, and a tender keeps the battery honest. When you want it back, you call ahead and we’ll have it down and ready rather than leaving you waiting while somebody finds the keys.
That’s the general shape of the job, not a promise about hours, notice periods or fees. None of those is published here, and we won’t invent them. Ask on the call and you’ll get the real answer.
We’re at 7185 Bermuda Rd, Las Vegas, NV 89119, a few minutes from the airport and easy to reach with something long on the back of a trailer.
It settles whether it can get into a garage, and that’s genuinely useful to know. It doesn’t settle whether it fits in a space with a lift in it, because the ceiling has to clear the lift and the vehicle stacked together. Those are two different measurements and the second one is the one that decides it here.
Five things. Overall height as it sits today, anything bolted to the roof, your actual ride height with the lift kit and tyres you’re running, width at the mirrors both folded and unfolded, and wheelbase with the overhang past each axle. Call 725-272-1803 with those and we can give you a straight answer.
No, and we want to be clear about that. It comes from lift vendor planning guidance written for shop owners fitting out a workshop, and we’ve quoted it only to show how fast the number climbs once a lift is involved. It isn’t a building code and it isn’t a measurement of this building. We don’t publish our dimensions, because the answer that helps you depends on the space that’s free when you call.
There’s a limit on any lift, and the sensible thing is to ask rather than assume. Tell us what your vehicle weighs when you call and we’ll confirm whether it works here before you go any further.
Then we’ll tell you on the phone rather than when you arrive, which is the entire reason this page exists. If it’s closer to a motorhome than a truck, the RV and motorhome page is the better starting point.
Height, roof fittings, ride height, width at the mirrors and wheelbase. That’s all it takes to know whether your vehicle works here, and it beats guessing from a specification sheet that was written for a different truck.
