Default Re: Car Lifts

Mine is made in Germany, so not applicable to you in the States?, but heres what I would have done different:

if you get a 2 post lift, which mine is and its is fantastic, it will probably drive one post from another via a chain box that runs along the floor between the 2 posts. This box is 1 1/2" high.

If you are laying a new concrete floor at the same time as installing a lift, set the chain box (well, the whole lift) into the concrete so its top is flush with the floor surface. I could have done this and didnt, which I regret every time I trip on the chain box! After all, whenever you are under the lift, youre always looking up!

Oh, and another thing...if you aint got alot of hair...wear a cap when yr under the car...saves bashing yr head !

Tom.
