Im no pro mechanic but this is just common sense. Darwinism lol

After seeing your work area, carpet on ground and crap all over the place, on the ground. I would not be prechen, If I were you.

I do not understand the root of this comment, but anyone who is preaching a safety point is a hero for doing so. Even if they are not perfect. Show me a priest, preacher, or rabbi without sin.

The point is correct. The hoist is made for the load to set on blocks or some other type of locking mechanism. You should not go under a car suspended on cables running through a pulley system.

I mentioned my place of employment in an earlier post. Everyone has pounded into their head starting the day they are highered, you never, ever, for any reason, walk under a suspended load. It is a one time fire-able offense. No exceptions. No excuses accepted. We have never had to fire anyone and it does not happen.

I also need to add that the cables on a 2 post lift are meant to equalize the 2 sides and the hydrolic system actually does the lifting. ALWAYS lower the car to the safety stop (the clicking sound heard while lifting the car)

Rotary was welding its own in Madison, Indiana when I bought mine in 2006. They will also inspect and certify their lifts on your site. I even went to Madison to visit with the welder. I think some of their things are out sourced now based on what the inspector told me when I had mine inspected recently. I won't get under any lift that is not on the stops.

Rough day in my garage. Shoulda given myself a time-out in the corner.

hauss,
If you could see what's not visible off to the right side in this photo...well, the mess is just shameful. I believe ERA 626 appears to keep a pretty good looking shop, compared to my scattered debris.
