Here is mine from another post http://www.garagejournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=97431

Used the hoist to lift the Hudson for the first try.Had to do a little adjustment as the locks weren't setting in evenly at first.Adjusted the locking plates at the front(several times) and finally got it right. Part of my procedure before stepping under the car is checking front and rear that...

Well the first test of driving a car on the hoist revealed that we would have to secure it to the floor.The Hudson is about 3600lbs I guess and as soon as it went up the ramps it skated the hoist along the floor. I got some concrete anchors called Dynasets.They are only a few inches long and...

From the link you have shown(Greg Smith) it looks like you may have gone for a ProPark?Your update will show what you chose I guess. I used the ProPark 8H and put it together myself.Very Happy!!:thumbup: See my post and pics http://www.garagejournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=97431

Yes that is what I intend to do now.I purchased a Ramset product called Loxin which is a sleeve with a threaded nut inside and will insert that into the floor slab. http://www.ramset.com.au/public/article/show.asp?articleid=1130&menuItemID=213&toplvlID=3&menuNo=0

Well today I went to put the Hudson on the hoist and it wanted to skate the whole hoist up the floor.It is on a slippery epoxy type floor but I don't think it would matter even if it was bare cement. So off to the hardware store for some special bolts to screw it down.What I bought was some...

The Hudson

Well thanks for all the kind comments.Here are some pics.More on the next post

The instruction booklet is minimal at best.Get onto the website and you can follow the steps and print the pics individually.In particular the most difficult was making sure all the cables were right(going around the correct pulleys) and then correctly locating the ends in the cable "collector"...

After a couple of years of settling into the new house I finally got the 4 post hoist.It is a Direct Lift ProPark 8H(extra height).Finished the assembly this week and got it working yesterday.Haven't had a car on it yet but looking forward to being able to get under a car without lying on the floor.

I am considering the Pro Park 8S from Greg Smith Industries. Any comments by other owners of these lifts Paul

No this is the corner house and is ours. The bottom house can be seen on the left in picture 6 of the front of the garage with the temporary doors and the deck above. The other house for sale can't be seen.It is on the top road on the other side of our house.The rear deck can be seen in the...
