The foot print of the posts (out to out) is 11'3" wide x 15'4" long with 16'8" runners and 5' ramps. The runners extend past the posts and the ramps hang off the back for a total length of 21'8". I have 6+ inches of concrete under the lift. The top of the cylinder is 8' above the floor. Your 14' ceiling should be just fine...mines 16' and there's tons of room above the wrecker.
