Good for my warehouse, 'cause I can wheel pallets under the racecar when It's up out of the way.

Cheers,

Yeah, I've considered that Wazza but height and width mean it won't fit not to mention my floor wouldn't be rated to bolt it down.! Bugger!

OK thanks Warren. I have a house with a 2.5 car space - pretty normal modern two car garage and I was wondering if there is anything that can be used within those parameters that still allows you to get under the car better than trolley jacks and a creeper?

Merv my hoist is in a 6m wide x 18m long shed, I can get a car and caravan in and out without moving the hoist as long as you have the hight you should be fine.

Don't think I do Greg. It is a standard height car garage (2.65m). I have no desire to create a shed here and was wondering if there were lifting systems that could be used to raise (certainly not to a massive degree) a car in a relatively standard garage?

Hey Merv.....

What about something along these lines.......
I'm sure you could improve on the basic design....might be fun to make as well.

Ha! How did they get it up there?

I thought that there might be scissor style ones.

Default Shoe Horn,

HI Merv,
I was able to get the cobra on the hoist and fit karens mustang undernieth.

I cut one of the rafters out ( professionally) so that the windscreen and roll bar would fit up in the roof, had it all gyrrocked and insulated.
The roof was the standard 2600mm, I was able to stand under the cobra but I suppose I am a shortass.



Sorry could only find this pic.

Phil

Its a Propark 8 from TuffLift/DirectLift.

That is Oscar, a 64 high roof Single cab has 28 000 genuine miles on it, it is one of the best unrestored Single Cabs.

I no longer have it, its a long story

Oscar! I saw one today that was also a ute but with wooden 'slat' sides - for keeping the goats in! Very authentic looking piece of equipment.

Thanks Phil.
