Love my Kwik Lift

[Tim Brewer]

I want to get one of those, but was wondering if it was a hassel driving up that ramp every time you came back home.

Not at all. You just need a dedicated area in your garage because it is heavy and not too easy to move around.

I have the optional casters on my lift. With them in place, I can push the car around inside the garage or out into the driveway, without having to let the lift down. Very convenient.

How does this differ to having a ramp with a pivot about half way, so as you drive up, it will teeter, and also be up in the air. Like they use at car yards.

I also have the sticky tape like they use on the houseboats here to keep people from slipping when it is wet. When I went to the bid April car show here they were trying to put a Super Bee on one for people to see and it kept slipping as the grass was damp. I told the woman what I had did and they went down to the hardware store and got some and the problem was solved. Then I looked at their book and there was my Cobra on mine. Mine are now 20 different colors as I use them to paint stuff on when the car is off. I also back my car onto the ramps and I got some silver tape and ran a strip down the ramp so when I keep the rear tire just along that strip I am on them perfectly. Then I put a cross strip at the top where I wanted to stop.

As you can see mine have b een used a lot and aren't nice and clean any more.



The air bag idea is something that I hadn't thought of.

Not at all. In fact, when I'm just parking it and know I will be taking it out again soon I just leave the rear down. Drive up, park and walk away.
Wheel chocks are a good idea too.
