Ammonia is a very common refrigerant, best if you ask me! Been in the industry for many years, we use if for everything from space cooling to process freezing, some engine room have in excess of 5k HP in compressors and 50K and over lbs of ammonia on site.

I'm going to take Killahog's advice and put up some posts with the measurements for each of the different lifts I'm considering, then pull the truck in and see how intrusive each set up will be.

My only issue with the 4 post is using it for items like wheels and brakes, I like the idea of being able to put my Trans Am on it and part under it though

I will have to do some measering to see what work best, my shop is pretty tight, I do have a 12' X 12' door where the lift is going but not sure on depth as I have work benches in front as well as pallet racking in front

Hey that looks very familiar, I have built many control cabinets using compact logix, contrologix, PLC-5, SLC, etc... Actually to the KISS this is fairly simply compared to how things used to be done. Once you understand how a logic controller operates and what the controller can do then it...
