mid rise scissor lift?, Which one is the one to get??? Options

[jhadler]

I've scanned through the old posts, but couldn't find the info I was looking for.

I might be in the market to get one of those mid-rise lifts. I'm looking for the one that a couple people have said was great for the 914. Low enough to get the car on, and would rise high enough, and had enough room under the car to enable an engine drop/install.

I'd love to get some information on this one. A new lift for the garage might be in my immediate future! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) Then I can REALLY get some work done...

Here's the ramp layout. If I did it again, I would probably just use two 2x4 x 10's instead of the middle 2x10x10. Would be cheaper, lighter and still more than strong enough.



Here's the ramp kit I used.

They are overkill but I got tired of messing with an easy way to do this. Without a smooth ramp you end up pushing the ramps instead of driving up them.

Don't let SWW914 fool you. His stuff is awesome! And he does stuff efficiently. I spend twice as much time as needed thinking about it before I do it!! Like drawing pictures of wood ramps instead of just building them (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif)
