There used to be a manlift at SF's Union Square Garage.
There are a couple of manlift tales over at
The Other site.
The
450 Sutter Building garage also seems to have had a man lift.
For those who haven't seen one,
images and
videos are available.
Belt-o-vator seems to be another name for man lifts. May be a trade name.
