One of the lifts I have is 110v, the other is 220v. The first is sold by
twinbusch.com. It is rated 9500 lbs, but6 nowhere near as stout as my forward lift rated at 9000. Both work fine |

QUOTE(Krieger @ Sep 28 2019, 11:43 AM)  Now I am considering the move to the two post lift. I have had an EZ car lift for at least 10 years, but I want to stop rolling around on the ground and stand or as close to that as possible. I have a good size garage that is 25'×25' with 10' high ceilings. What are the electrical requirements for these lifts? Is 110 enough? Every two post lift I have ever seen requires 220V ac to work. Have an electrician wire up a new circuit from your breaker panel to the lift. |

A friend has put these in his latest dealership. If only.... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/drooley.gif)
https://rotarylift.com/wp-content/uploads/2...y_Smartlift.pdf  I like no encumbrances under a car. Having complete access to everything was the reason I went with a 2 post. The 4 post storage lift allows some work but it's still best used as a storage device. Bumping your head is a common occurrence. FWIW: It's apparently a little known fact that a third "leg" is recommended for 2 post lifts. I use an older Rotary screw jack for extra stability when they're up high or if there's going to be some "tugging" on non-compliant nuts and bolts.(IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) The Rotary RS4 is sold on Amazon for about $140. Well worth it for added insurance. Also recommend HD rubber lift pads that are cut for seam welds. Easier on the chassis.  |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) I always put a stand under the back of a 914 when I have it up on my lift. I have seen a car fall off a lift, and I don't want it to happen to me. I am not paranoid... just convinced the world is out to get me. |
