Default Re: Lift for 8' ceiling

Thanks Greg.
Im going to do a second lift in the spring , but portable is a relative term for these lifts.
Yes, they have rollers and a dolly for moving and manuvering, but it is very heavy, not like the flimsy single cylinder arm type lifts you see in the pictures of them inside and outside.
Also, I probably would have had a harder time with very low tube chassis cars , as the ramps are 4' high. ....they do give you 4, 20" long angled ramps that attach front and back for a conventional on the floor use .
most cars will easily go over them,but some of the ground scrapers I work on needed the extra clearance.
Floor drains are a no no in my Township ,so I had no choice there, but it has'nt been an issue.
Just a regular vacuuming under it.
The pics dont show the center cover I made to close the floor between the ramps......That made it easier to keep clean ,and roll around on a creeper or stool.
