"Operator room" keeps 24 in clear around the machine, and "stored" drops that zone, for a machine you roll out only when the car is gone. Both leave a 24 in apron in front of the overhead door and a 30 in walk-around beside any parked sedan. In a 12 x 20 ft garage with a car inside, this machine has to be stored elsewhere.
Electrical and moving it
- Circuit: 13 A at 120V on the listing: a 20 A breaker and 12 AWG copper covers the 125 percent rule. On NEC Table 430.248 amps the same 1.5 HP motor comes to 25 A and 10 AWG on a 30 ft run. Have a licensed electrician confirm.
- Moving it: at 166 lb (shipping weight) a mobile base rated 220 lb or more is the minimum, for example the WEN Mobile Base.

Frequently asked questions
Does the Grizzly G0459 fit in a one-car garage?
Yes, in a 12 x 20 ft one-car garage with no vehicle it fits with its operator zone clear and uses 2 percent of the floor. With a sedan parked inside it does not fit at all.
What circuit does the Grizzly G0459 need?
It draws 13 A at 120V (listing), so a 20 A breaker with 12 AWG copper covers the 125 percent rule. On NEC table amps for 1.5 HP the circuit comes out to a 25 A breaker and 10 AWG copper over a 30 ft run. A licensed electrician confirms the circuit before you wire.
