QUOTE(montoya 73 2.0 @ Dec 22 2012, 05:04 PM)  It would have to be in the 1k+ price range with all that engineering that has been put into it. I just wonder about which way the spring tension is placed in? I would hate to see what happened if a failure happened while under the vehicle and it went into the upright position!? Hopefully they already thought if that. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) I believe it's operated by electric motors, not sprung ... but good to see you're thinking about our safety (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif) |

The video says its hydraulic and spring torsion powered?
EDIT: Looking at the video again, it does look as though the springs are at rest in the "creeper" position. |

I know a roller derby girl who could put that to shame!!!
I get that some guys need assistance and I respect that. But this? Not sure this is right for them. But an able-bodied man using that? Only the salesman. When he's changing batteries I'll be doing something more productive. Sounds like a fun 9games challenge for the next wcr. |

The subject fooled me. I saw "man hoist" and thought I was going to see a mega hoist that could lift anything.
Wait. A hoist for a man? What kind of man needs a personal hoist? We should rename this thread. BMW men, get your girly..... ahem I mean GQ hoist |
