Well, it's all set up. I used . 125 aluminum cut 12" wide + a .125 section of industrial rubber non-skid floor mat underneath to keep it from sliding. I actually used Velcro strips to hold the aluminum to the rubber mat. Idea was to keep everything mobile. I used stacked 2x12x8 s as the main...

Sir, That is the most helpful review of any anything I have ever seen on YouTube or anywhere else for that matter. 16 gauge steel certainly seems adequate in plate form. I'm surprised he doesn't have the plate running the full length of the travel of the wheels which is what I will probably...

Mentally I still find it difficult to to believe that thin sheet metal is enough to protect the floor. Then again I am not a metallurgist and I will of course defer to things you have seen with your own eyes. Thank you

For the record, I am a chemist by trade and therefore I do consider my garage as a lab at times. My concern is obviously about the indirect effect of not being level, which is car plus lift tipping to one side, leading to vehicle landing on its side in the garage. While I own a 1995 Saturn...

Hi, Thank you for the additional feedback. I've been working 60 hour weeks so I have not been on here. My concern with uneven wear is that invariably it will not be perfectly level, do any wear accelerated on one side versus the other would eventually induce a tiny bit of lean that would then...

Just received and cracked open the crate last night. It has what looks to be polished stainless wheels. Because of the flake, the surface seems as though it will be just unsmooth enough to get ground flat after repeated use. I suppose I could simply set it up as is and watch for wear. It is...

Thank you, sir

Thank you. I was wondering if narrow steel plate, wide enough and then some for the rollers would be sufficient, with caveat that the other two corners would also have to rest on it to keep the thing level ish. That should keep me from having to attach the plate to the actual floor given the...

Logic? (Not challenging, seeking understanding.) Technically, the lift is portable (can be dragged to a different location) but the furthest it would move is to the other side of the garage. It's not going to get a huge amount of use per unit time (maybe three times a month). If it wears...

New member. Love the site. I have much to learn. I will be getting a Bendpak MD6-XP mid-rise scissors lift delivered in the next few weeks. It will go in my residential car garage on one side. Pretty high ceiling for a residential garage. Floor professionally done and is as indicated above...
