New Lift
on: May 22, 2006, 15:41:40 PM
With all this talk of tools and engine stands I thought I better post a (poor phone camera pic) of the latest money pit - A new 4 ton lift for the old garage - finally can fill in that pit !!!

£1800 fitted.

lol now thats a proper bit of kit.

The coolest two-post one I have seen was in the VW dealership I worked in - it was TALL ...tall enough to fit the high roof LT vans :D it looked crazy!

^^ eh ?

suerly the hight only denotes how high you can lift something, not how high the thing thats been lifted can be ?

Too right. Spent this week taking off the roof - it was an old building so tiled - thats going in favour of kingspan roofing, then its get a builder to do the brickwork - not going to try that myself - but ill make the doors and put the kingspan on.

^^^ tut tut tut

all you need to do is brake from the lift to the roof, seperate the roof from the building, then lift it up with the lift !
get the bricky to build the walls up, and lower the roof back on :-p
