The cable broke on our outdoor pressure washing lift, two months after a complete inspection of all of our lifts! One never knows, accidents happen. Car fortunately has minimal damage. Will post pictures of the lifting and repair later

An awful lot of George bashing on here which I am not sure is warranted. This is probably the best thread to remind us to be careful because of possible consequences.. I get very nervous working underneath cars and have been thinking about purchasing a 2 post lift for home and use a safety jack on both front and back of the car to ensure no one gets hurt.

All our 2 post lifts lock into place. You can hear each set of locks engage as the lift rises. We've had 2 minor earthquakes in the last couple years and no cars have come off the lift. We have cars up on lifts overnight for days and weeks and no issues. None of out lifts are outside. We use the forklift to lift cars for steam pressure washing. |

I think brand has allot to do with it regarding failure rates. What kind are you using?? I hear allot like the greg smith but those appear to be atlas brand? |
