4 post lift 110v adjustable width, any pointers please?

[tferrari]

I've read many post on this frum about adjustable width 4 post lifts but cannot find any that run on 110v.

Have spent ages on google, no joy

I'd be very grateful for any pointers, I specificaly want adjustable width so I can drop engine and subframes out from below when needed and 110v for obvious reasons

thanks in advance

Greg Smith Industries (Atlas lift I believe is the name) run off of 110. I have mine set up but need to finish the shop before i get to put it to use.

I have an Atlas Garage Pro 9000. It's 120v. Mine is on a 30 amp breaker as recommended, but will work on 20amp. I used 10ga wire.

Do the ramps adjust widthways?

I've read the tech specs of a few atlas and the 110v all seem to have fixed width runways :-(

No

The Advantage XLT 9000 has two positions for the ramps if I recall correctly. Didn’t pay much attention though, as that’s not a feature I was interested in. I set mine to the wide position.

I assume the Standard (non XLT) is the same, but you would have to do a search.

Repositioning the ramps probably isn’t a trivial ten minute job. Setting the ramp position is one of the earlier assembly operations.

Not sure how much width adjustment you are looking for, but several of the Bendpak four post lifts adjust by about 8 inches. They are all available with 120V as an option. Bendpak just had a pretty massive price increase...

Bendpak HD7 and HD9 have versions with one runway that can be moved over. I looked for the widest space between runners and it was the Bendpak at 41-42”. Most of the others were closer to 36”. I bought the HD9-XL, extra long and extra tall with adjustable runway, though I specified the 220V motor. It’s not as easy as a 2 post for dropping a subframe with suspension attached—you may have to turn the suspension sideways. A lift cart or at least a transmission lift with a jig mounted to it helps.

A 4 post is not the best for dropping engines and subframes, regardless of width adjustability, because you'd need to get the rails wider than the width of the tires.

I recommend going with a wider lift and don't worry too much on the adjustability. Make sure your skinniest car fits

Good thinking viper. I'll measure all the wheel widths and buy wide as possible

try backyard buddy four post lift. A friend bought one and 4 or 5 of us went over to the other house, took it apart and moved it, plugged it in and up it went. All in about 4 hours. It was a 110 volt.
