    New building, help layout 2 post lift.

    Would you mind sharing your measurement from door to centre of post? And also centre of post to front of truck? Trying to position my symmetrical lift as close to my door as possible working with a 24' deep bay

    New building, help layout 2 post lift.

    What is your measurement from door to centre of post? Symmetrical lift? Also if you don't mind, with that same truck what is the measurement from centre of post to front bumper of truck? I'm trying to position my symmetrical lift in a 24' deep bay and I want it as close to the door as possible.

    Heater/lift wiring

    The lift does have it's own limit switch aswell. My main concern was whether or not I would be fine to plug it into a 40 amp circuit. I guess I could just add a disconnect switch inline on the lift post aswell.. code doesn't really matter as I dont require a permit or inspection here but would...

    Heater/lift wiring

    Haha yes sorry I am in Ontario, Canada. You don't require a permit or inspection to do any electrical on our side of the meter (if youre not hiring a licensed contractor) which is kind of scary but at the same time convenient at times.

    Heater/lift wiring

    I currently have a 7500 watt heater in my garage. I wired it with 8/3 nmd90 on a 40amp breaker in my main 200amp panel in the house about 12 feet away. I just installed a tmg tpl45 10k 2 post lift that requires a 30amp circuit. In this coming spring I will be doing a large garage addition...

    Symmetrical 2 post lift placement!

    Installing a TMG tpl45 10k symmetrical 2 post lift in my garage. Unfortunately the bay is only 23' deep. I will be lifting mostly cars and full size suv's occasionally. In my last garage at my old house I installed a asymmetrical lift in a 19' deep bay positioned 10.5' off the shop door with a...

    Help bleeding a Hydra Lift 2007-126 2-post lift!

    Thats what I thought.. i haven't found another lift the same. A lot of older lifts use one cylinder and a chain to the other side. Most newer lifts use cables to synchronize and have bleeders on top of the cylinders. Ive learned hydro lift (while they were in business) promotes their design as...

    Help bleeding a Hydra Lift 2007-126 2-post lift!

    I did run it all the way up, one cylinder maxed out and one stopped short and wouldn't go up all the way. Its getting better and I did lift a car, it seemed to lift a little lower on one side but almost catch up or get more even while lifting.. im thinking just some air in the system as it...

    2 post lift with limited depth...

    I agree, I'm 10.5' from the door so I can just walk behind my car on the lift but I have lots of room up front. The most I will do with my truck on the lift is brakes and wheel changeovers and with my 8' doors and high lift tracks (vaulted ceiling) i will have no problem lifting it high enough...

    2 post lift with limited depth...

    That sounds good. I just checked mine again I'm.10.5' from door to centre of posts. I would love to have it forward the extra 2 feet like yours, as I could lift my.pickip with the door down but because I will be lifting cars 90% of the time (with the door closed) I opted for the extra room in...

    Help bleeding a Hydra Lift 2007-126 2-post lift!

    Hello, I just installed a Hydra Lift 2007-126 2-post 7k asymmetric lift and I am trying to figure out how to bleed/syncronize it. I bought it used without a manual or instructions and I'm having trouble finding anything online. This lift does not have bleeding screws on top of the cylinders...

    2 post lift with limited depth...

    Good idea. I'm assuming the naxjax is a symmetric style? I ended up bolting it about 10' off the door since its asymmetric and the car will sit further back. I've tested it with a 2020 civic 4 door and a sante fe suv and so far so good. Both vehicles about a foot from the door and ample room up...

    2 post lift with limited depth...

    Good day everybody. I am in the process of installing a 2 post asymmetric 7k lift in my home garage. My garage is 21' deep and 24' wide. It is a drive through style with 8' high doors on both sides and 14' ceiling height. I have pickup trucks and other large vehicles, but I rarely plan on...
