The best tool in the World

[S-Express]

Well, I used to thing that my ratchet spanners were the best tool in the world, but now I have this - ITS BRILLIANT!
If you can possibly afford the space and cash - GET ONE, its so blinkin' marvelous!

Looks good, however I think what we all want to know is, roughly how much?????

[S-Express]

well, I paid 1200+vat but my "company" :mischeif: has purchased it, hence no vat.
I've seen some very similar ones on ebay for a grand tho.
No more scrabbling around on my back on a cold floor with oil in my hair for the next 20 years makes it worthwile!

unfortunately my car would come out the roof of my garage on its first lift!

Nice to see you have the use of some space....

[Error404]

thats cool, is it easy to move about or do you need to permanently anchor it?

TBH though if i had the space and the cash I think i'd get a two poster

[s2driveruk]

mighty jealous - wonder if you can hire something like that

[S-Express]

nah moves easy

[s2bug]

Thats not fare!

Forum is bad enough for spendin more than is in the pocket!


I waaaaaaaaaaaaaaant one

[Error404]

thats a majpr benefit - good piece of kit - is it electric i assume?
Does it lock out when raised? No risk of crushing i hope?

[K Simmonds]

Looks like a nice piece of kit, I count myself very lucky having a lit pit in my workshop.

[bertman]

Jeeez I would donate one of my busters to have a bit of kit like that,not to mention having a garage too
But have been working on the car in the evening when it has been - 8 ....floodlights keep me warm though

[ryster]

ya i have a 4 post lift got given it , a must have bit of kit if you've got the space

[Heat Seeking Missile]

Good work! That didn't take long to arrive and set-up. Looks a dream to have one. Now hurry up and finish yours!

If I'm being picky, it doesn't give quite as much access as a 2 poster but the access it gives is still blinkin marvelous and the prob with a 2 post lift is normally the height, wont fit in a normal garage where as this thing all but dissapears when its down.
Its 240v running a hydraulic pump and as it rises there are about 5 dead stops it passes through on the way up, so no danger of it squashing you !
You do however need compressed air (a tiny £40 comp would do the trick) as when you send it back down, 2 little pnuematic actuators move the dead stops sout of the way.
To be honest, I can't see why they haven't used electric solenoids, would have been simplier, but I guess they presume that most people that are buying a ramp will already have a compressor!
Oh yeah, you also need a little seat with 4 swivel castors on it
