I keep seeing these lifts rated for 1500 pounds that are sort of like two bars that lift to maybe 18 inches. Made for a snowmobile or a quad. I figure a bar welded on the end to parallel the cabin longitudinal/sill and lift with one of the things on each side. Might back up with jack stands but it would end the dillema of I wanna put the jack stand where the lift is, and it would lift the whole car all at once.
So. Has anyone tried it and is willing to admit it? |

what is your ceiling height in the garage?
Whatever it is, subtract 48" and that is how high you can lift a 914. I got a drive on two ramp lift, best money I have ever spent. rich |

I was wondering since it looks possible if anyone had tried it. From a rating perspective, the math says 3000 pounds, so i figured it might have been done. Getting and using the lift isnt the problem. Having it gone when i am not using it really is important for me. |
