i can see your thinking, but i reckon it will be a right faff having to pull that thing about, you'll have far better access to the underside from a 2 post and far safer for you and the car, the other benefit is that you could safely have one car in the air long term with another below it if need be for extra storage space
Where did you get that from? The idea of it being mobile is appealingJust bought this last week, why didn't I do it before?
The mcv is able to go on the ramps without any modification/piece of wood, and the car i up in the air in no time.
You can let it there and park the car on it.
It takes less than 2 minutes to open the garage, put the car on the lift, place the small rubber blocks under the lifting points and raise the car.
The clearance is quite good, you can sit on a little creeper seat and work confortably.
And easy access to everything.
Looks rock solid, and safe.
I'll try this weekend with the ghibli cup, we'll see if it's as easy.
If your space is limited, it's maybe a good alternative.
My man-maths is thinking similarly; I've been looking at the QuickJack web site but the reality is I could imagine they would be seldom used.
cant quite workout how the **** its holding the motor up, there's no spread of weight on the ground legs
, looks like a home build with a couple of RSJ's welded together, death wish territory right there
Professional piece of kit under several names this one was Facom.cant quite workout how the **** its holding the motor up, there's no spread of weight on the ground legs
just looks like its an accident waiting to happen, find it hard to believe they are meant for working under cars ?? or are they simply for lifting things in to place like RSJ'S etc
had this vision of dropping the engine out from underneath on that facom thing and the car tipping off backwards
Oh dont say that , very del boy and rodney in that Chandalier sketch ................okay grandad hit ithad this vision of dropping the engine out from underneath on that facom thing and the car tipping off backwards
A two/four post is fixed to the floor right ........... whereas my thinking was along the lines that my parking area was to be a showroom clean area/mancave
with a closed off but adjoining workshop area for hammers and things etc ( this is where i could store the One post lift if only i can be convinced of the stabilty ...........me being me i cant say money isnt an issue ...........im still tight as ..... but 'll skip the 4/1 concrete and diltute it to 10/1 if it serves my purpose and gets the job done within budget.
10/1A two/four post is fixed to the floor right ........... whereas my thinking was along the lines that my parking area was to be a showroom clean area/mancave
that will be a weak mix, i can see the logic in why a mobile single post is preferred, i don't think stability would be an issue with a good quality single post unit and provided the car is lifted correctly it would be fine
