"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: 12 A at 240V on the listing: a 15 A breaker and 14 AWG copper covers the 125 percent rule. On NEC Table 430.248 amps the same 3 HP motor comes to 25 A and 10 AWG on a 30 ft run. Have a licensed electrician confirm.
- Moving it: at 552 lb (shipping weight) a mobile base rated 720 lb or more is the minimum, for example the VEVOR Mobile Base.
- Delivery: machines this heavy usually arrive by freight on a pallet. Plan the path from the curb to the bay, the door width and who helps you lift.

Frequently asked questions
Does the Grizzly G1021Z 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 4 percent of the floor. With a sedan parked inside it does not fit at all.
What circuit does the Grizzly G1021Z need?
It draws 12 A at 240V (listing), so a 15 A breaker with 14 AWG copper covers the 125 percent rule. On NEC table amps for 3 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.
This page is researched guidance, not professional electrical, engineering or safety advice. Circuits, loads and clearances depend on your house, your service and your town: have a licensed electrician confirm any wiring, and check local code and each manufacturer's manual before you act.
