    Old Mohawk or New Chinese

    I have a 1993 model Mohawk that I rebuilt that works awesome. Lift everything from Corvettes to 3/4 ton trucks with no issues. You can adjust the width of the post to your liking as well. I have mine set wide so I can put a full size car trailer between the arms for loading. The lift you...

    Moisture/water between Tyvek and insulation

    IMO you should have gone with unfaced insulation with thick plastic for a vapor barrier. That kraft face insulation claims a vapor barrier, but is obviously not anywhere near sealed so you are getting the warm air from the shop hitting the cold steel/tyvek and causing condensation and the...

    Narrow Bay lift recommendation? Mohawk A-7 lift discontinued

    The larger Mohawks can be installed at the width of your choice. You can simply change the length of the hydraulic equalizer lines running between them as that is the only connection between the posts.

    Cargo trailers - recommendations on build/features

    I would recommend one with an interior height of 7'. Many of the smaller trailers are 6' or 6'6" if you are planning on getting a UTV some need the taller height door. Also v nose will tow better than a flat nose. Also a side access door is always handy to have. I personally prefer...

    Small room moisture control tip:

    I have that exact one on my boat and did the same thing to hook it to a drain. Has been working great for 5+ years.

    installing a vehicle lift so you can still back stuff in between?

    Mohawk lifts you can install at whatever distance you want apart. I have mine set up so I can back any trailer between it with the arms still on the floor.

    Pole barn ceiling liner panels, workable lengths

    I did 20' long panels when I built my shop. Use a sheetrock lift with 16' long 2x6's bolted to it and it worked great.

    Insulating Ceiling?

    1st question is what kind of heater are you running. If it is a ventless gas heater that is going to be a major problem. Vapor barrier is necessary in MN as well.

    I have a mid-rise lift - what transmission jack do you recommend?

    I have a Mohawk brand ****** jack with a 2 stage ram on it. Lowest height is around 30" and goes up to around 70". It is an older one so you will have to see if they still offer it.

    2 post lift anchor question

    Hey guys, I am currently installing my Mohawk System 1 2 post lift that I bought used. I did not come with anchor bolts, so I picked up some locally. They are 3/4" x 6.25" long bolts and each post uses 8. The Mohawk instructions say to torque the bolts to 60-80 ft/lb. The anchor box says to...
