This would be perfect for pEd, but I am not sure I would want to be under the car when it is up on these things that don't securely bolt to the ground. It doesn't seem very safe to me
OK, never mind. I just looked at the Installation Guidelines, and the first step is to mount anchors into the concrete where the lifts are to be used, so maybe it is safe enough. Move the lifts into place and bolt them down. When done, unbolt and move lifts out of the way. Kinda cool.
oohhh.... you're right. I'll have to check it out and see what the cost is. Don't think Julie will let me spring for it though. The safety issue does concern me....
I love lifts. I have been using my friend's dad's 4-post lift, and it has been so much easier to work on the car. They have 2-post and 4-post lift, and the 2-post lifts the car up high enough to walk under it
I have checked and the lowest ceiling requirment from Rotary Lifts are 10 feet, if anyone knows other brands have lower requirment please post it
this one says it works with ceilings less than 8ft. and you have to install bolt anchors in the concrete first. those look like toe busters when the lift is stowed. and i would assume after repeated installation and removal of the nuts the threads on those concrete anchors would begin to wear out, then you're screwed
MaxJax™ Internal Thread Recessed Flush-Mount Concrete Anchors Though the picture on the website doesn't show it, you probably sink the anchor completely into the concrete floor, so when the lift is stored away, there are just six threaded holes in your floor. Nothing to stub a toe on.
oh hmm, didnt read thoroughly, haha. probably screw down into the concrete and come back up when needed. i've actually seen some concrete anchors like that before. if i had 1500 laying around this would be a no-brainer
