Thank you WWheeler.

I have been searching for a Owners Manual for the 2 ramp Kwik-Lift car lift and have not been able to find one. Does anyone have a PDF of the Owners Manual?

I have a pair of large unpainted car ramps that have surface rust on them. I would like to clean them up and paint them with a good quality paint that would not scratch easily. My plan is to have wire brush them then power wash them and let them dry before applying a Rust Reformer followed by...

That's something to think about for sure. I had the KWIK-Lift a few years ago and did a lot of research including reading reviews before I bought one and I never heard of a failure. The only negative comment is they can be cumbersome to handle if you need to set up and take down often and that...

Yesterday I picked up a used KWIK-Lift ramps. I had a pair a few years ago and made a mistake of getting rid of them. This pair was order as bear metal so I'll need to clean them up and paint.

I'd like to be able to drive my cars up a long set of ramps which I would jack up to a point where they are level and with the tires about 20" off the garage floor. I've seen a number of youtube videos where others have made their own. Has anyone done this and what would you recommend? I do have...

Nice setup. I have a three bay two story garage that was framed out to be an apartment on the second floor but is unfinished for an apartment. I believe the joist will handle an I-beam hoist but wanted to put the idea past you guys first. Can I ask what is meant by the "steel plates that attach...

I found myself having to lift something that weight less than 80 lbs but was awkward to lift. I ended up using rope and 2 two wheel pulley's and got it done. Since I have an I-beam chain hoist and trolly I'm thinking of installing an I-beam to the to the overhead floor joist in my garage so I...

Thanks Tommy, I'll have to think about this. I don't like the idea of the electric bill going way up just to have something cold to drink in the garage. The house is that far away if you know what I mean. At least I can store it in the garage during the winter.

I just picked up a college dorm size compact refrigerator and I'm thinking about putting it in the garage that is unheated. It will only be used in the non-winter months. Do I need to worry about it freezing or extreme cold?

Thank you for your time and the prints. It will help with re-assembly. I attached a picture for those that want to see what the talk was about.

I used the picture for the Avatar. Best I have right now.

Lol, the best I can do is a picture of it when it was on Craigslist. I'll try to post it later today.

This is my first press. Already I'm looking to get/make a brake press for it. I'm going to need a bigger garage. :)

1Gargeman, I appreciate the links. The first one seems to be for a much larger press. I came across the second you list yesterday which made for interesting reading. I find it interesting that the press I picked has two tables. The auto center that closed must have ordered a second table which...
