Wife said - go for it
Neighbor said - I have a trailer
Seller said - I'll take $500
Fits under my 914 without ramps - priceless

How high does it lift your car? It looks like a jumbo pallet jack. Can you slide that around your garage?

Has wheels on one end and the cart pugs in at the other end to lift. It's very heavy so it won't get moved often. Fitting under my car was more important than the lift height. It didn't have a power pack. The seller was using an air compressor and a foot pedal. He gave me the foot pedal and the cart. I will grab my compressor from my dad while I'm looking for a power pack or a substitute. I will also buy some taller jackstands to throw under the car for safety. The seller said it held up his Dodge Charger for 2 weeks but I'm not going to be the guy who gets crushed by his car. My kids would be so embarrassed.

Wow sweet and supportive wife and even your neighbor were nice too by lending them the trailer. I would want one like that kind of lift.

It should have some locks as it goes up, so it's pretty safe to leave up if you need.

You will see when you lift it.

Nice score.

I have basically the same SO ramp. They are built like a tank by Wheeltronic. You may want to get the cylinder rebuilt, I think I had mine done for about $125.

You got a pretty good deal. They normally go for about $900 with working power supply. You can buy a power pack from Greg Smith Equip that will work with these. If you do a quick disconnect, just make sure it is properly rated.

My 914 did clear but just barely. I added a set of Racer Ramps as shown. They are stupid expensive but way nicer than using wood.

Thank you for the info! I have a Greg smith about 20 minutes from my house so I'll drop by and check it out. I knew I would need to throw some more money at the lift but since the seller was only an hour away, it was worth it to me to go after this one.

If I need ramps for my GT build I will grab some leftover trex decking from my dads deck and lay it down under the wheels.

After I got my lift I will not work with out one now!!! They are so worth the effort. Great Score and the guys at Greg Smith, at least the Indy branch, are a great bunch to deal with. I drive 2 hours each way to deal with them!!
