Just lift it up, it will lock automatically. You can you a fork lift, or an engine lift.

I got new longer hoses at my local hydraulic hose place. They had not trouble making the hose with the proper fittings. They didn't act like they were anything out of the ordinary.

Look for Paul Bird's thread, "In ground scissor lift install", it has a lot more pricing and ordering info in it.

It's an illusion, you can drive straight in and get on the lift. The yellow support pole is a giant PITA, It breaks the garage is half making it seem a lot smaller than it is. Thats the number one reason I am planning on building a 48' X 66' shop.

We got the sleeve also, I have no idea what it's meant for. We also got the inline oiler, I didn't use it. We moved our air solenoids for the safety locks to the inside of the cabinets. As for weights and dimensions Jane sent those to us. I think your close on your guess, but the control unit...

I used the supplied anchor bolts, I think they were 5/8" I just raised up the lift and drilled the holes with a hammer drill, tapped in the anchors and tightened them down. The drilling was easy because the concrete was fresh. It was much easier than the way Paul did his.

It has a standard disconnect style main power switch that you could put a lock on.

I would error on the side of too big a gap. I had to grind my concrete to get my lifts to fit. I wouldn't recommend grinding, it took me hours of grinding down in the hole, and it covered me and the entire garage in dust. I don't think a 1/2" gap would be a problem. In my experience stuff will...

Under car access is fine. About the only thing you can't get to underneath is the rocker panels.

There are more car pictures on my site. http://www.sirscca.org/gene/

Pricing and lifting info are posted in Paul's thread that I listed in the beginning of my post.

I pushed the PVC condiut through the dirt to the cutout where the control panel is. You start with a short piece of pipe and pound it into the ground with a hammer until it fills with dirt, then you pull it out and shake the dirt out, then repeat until you get the pipe where you want it.

I used the same forklift to get the lifts in the hole that Paul used. I had made my forms a little small, so I had to grind on the concrete to get the lifts to fit in the hole. For those that are interested there are more pictures of my car on my website. http://www.sirscca.org/gene/ There...

Yes, there are four 5/8" anchor bolts per lift.

You may remember this thread by my friend Paul, well here is the right way to put in a lift :) Back in October of 2008 I had decided to get a MaxJack lift, while Paul was looking to import a in-ground scissor lift. Paul was going to import his lift at the first of the year, I said I will have...

The plastic shed does knock the edge off the sound. I leave the compressor on all the time, I don't have any leaks so it only runs when you use it. You can barely hear it in the garage, and you can't hear it in the house. I have a 5hp, 60 gal compressor in it. I put down 3/4" plywood to bolt...

I got one of these Suncast plastic sheds to put my compressor in. I got it at Sears for around $300.00 I added a fan that comes on with the compressor to keep the shed cool.
