HA! I just figured it out. The front arms were backwards left to right. It took me looking at my own pictures to realize it! Thanks for the support everyone! lol

The side of the big locking pin that prevents arm rotation while the lift is in the air. When on the ground it pushes the lock up allowing them to rotate. This leads me to believe that nothing can really be done about it other than widening the lift. The other annoying thing about it is since...

Ok, so That is one thought that I had. Not saying I'm not wrong but the two things that had me rule that out is one: I measured the inner and outer most mounting holes across from each other as well as to the door before I removed the posts. Then matched those measurements with my install. and...

The Rotary rep did say they are supposed to swing rearward as shown.

Anyone out there have the "100 series" SPOA9 or even SPOA7 lift? I bought one used and have it installed and working great. However the front arms when folded back toward the rear, do not fold back wide enough to get my full size truck between them. I called Rotary and they have no specs on the...

Oh also, if any one needs a big commercial compressor or air drier, they will make you a smoking deal. They are at the Sears auto center in Joplin Missouri. They have to be out by the end of the week so they are pushing hard to sell them. The price dropped $100 from the time I got there to the...

3 1/2 hrs work. 95% by myself. I did finally get one of the 6 guys standing around to volunteer to work the chain fall while I lowered them to onto the trailer. They had 2 to choose from. Only wear/damage was the splines on the arm locks, but they still work fine. Super quiet and lifts like a...

Sorry Crook I meant to quote you I'm my above post too. Sent from my SM-G960U using The Garage Journal mobile app

Thanks. I'll have my phone with me and use your check list. The plan is to look it over good, then put my 1/2 ton crewcab on it and lift it a few feet and look for problems. If all is good, it'll be me, a ladder, and a chain fall to take it down. Gonna unbolt a posts, lift it straight up, back...

The Jack stands and oil drain pans are a great idea. Even though I can change the oil without a jack on 3 of my 4 vehicles in less than 10 min. and not even spill a single drop from the oil filter. Hardly worth putting them up on a lift. My 4x4 F-1-Filthy on the other hand is a *****!

I'm supposed to go pick it up tomorrow unless someone convinces me otherwise. I guess the whole Asymetrical thing is what has be gun shy. In typical GJ form, one half says they work fine for trucks while the other half say "Don't buy one, YOU WILL DIE IN A RAGING BALL OF FIRE!" I just found out...

Thanks

I'm not sure what Trio arms are. I looked them up but what I found look different. New design I suppose. If you only have 13'-2" and are able to get a big Duramax Chevy on there, I feel better. Sent from my SM-T510 using The Garage Journal mobile app

Been wanting a powered small equipment lift for a while now. Being to cheap to go out and buy something for that purpose as well as not wanting to sacrifice the real estate on the floor, I've put it off for a couple years now hoping something would come across Marketplace that I could modify to...

A little more complicated than the title leads to believe. My max budget I'm looking at is $2000. I can get a brand new Atlas 9KHO for $1900 delivered. I found a used Rotary SPOA9 (true asymmetrical 30° posts) for $1000. I am 1.5ft short on the recommended 15' mounting dimensions from the posts...
