How narrow is that space? The Amgo 407-P is very compact……Locks are manual and it’s wide enough for a 69 Mustang and a 69 F100. https://www.garagejournal.com/forum/threads/amgo-407-p-4-post-lift-great-for-small-spaces.546151/

If all specs are otherwise equal, a weight difference would be telling.

What kind of cars? A pair of these might be the ticket…. https://www.garagejournal.com/forum/threads/amgo-407-p-4-post-lift-great-for-small-spaces.546151/#post-11250170

Here’s a rundown of the parts needed…. https://www.garagejournal.com/forum/threads/craftsman-bandsaw-speed-reducer.144536/

I picked up a pair of 2 ton Powerbuilt Unijacks to use with the jack tray. The "drive over" height with these jacks sitting in the jack tray is 6 inches - just right for the old Mustang. The initial adjustment gets them close to contact, then there's enough lifting range to clear the wheels off...

AMGO 407-P is about as small as it gets…..Full 6 foot height. 15-1/2’ long with the ramps deployed. https://www.garagejournal.com/forum/threads/amgo-407-p-4-post-lift-great-for-small-spaces.546151/

I couldn't be happier with it. Bolting it down makes a difference - Clearly, spending quite a bit more money on a lift expressly designed to not be bolted down is going to get you a lift that feels less wobbly when not bolted down. But when this lift is bolted down as indicated in the...

Got the lift bolted down and in service. I made a minor electrical change and learned a bit about anchoring. The two right posts got 4 wedge anchors each, as did the inner holes of the two left posts. I go all the way through the slab so dud anchors can be hammered through. I have a control cut...

I wondered the same thing…..Google had the answer: A "heavy up" in electrical refers to an upgrade to a home’s electrical service panel to increase its amperage capacity, typically from 100 amps to 200 amps. A search for “pecker to box” yielded results about motors and a debate over whether or...

Just passing by and I heard “heavy-up (pecker to box)”……What is that?

Be cautious here......I'm qualifying that solution as low-voltage. I'd swap those lights out for a low-voltage type. Steel supporting cables and metal flex are a no-go near the pool if those lights are 120v...

In that case, I'm damned if I do and extra-damned if I protect said wire from damage.....lol

Geez, this is getting bad......OP, you've got some serious outdoor wiring to do. Is that the extension cord I see strung between the two trees in the background? What exactly holds these lights up? They are 120v, over the pool? Maybe you can change all this out with some low voltage lights?

This'll be more mild than spicy @ 12v.....

Even for low voltage?
