Air Jack on a Four Post Lift

[Bruce Amacker]

Hey guys:

A friend of mine just bought a Backyard Buddy and we're wondering how an air jack like this would work. He's got the sliding crossmember designed for jacks but I don't think an air/hydraulic one will fit well. Is anyone using a jack in this situation they really like?

Thanks!

Those would work well from the runway, but it may be too wide for the crossmember.

I have a Rotary 4 post with a pair of Challenger 6k rolling jacks. You will find that the lifting points are usually just over the edge of the runway where a trolley jack or bottle jack wouldn't work. It is also dangerous to use a portable jack at one point on a 4-post, as it moves the distribution of the load. Spend the money and get a used rolling jack.

I'm planning on buying a Direct Lift Pro Park 8 (long or short)

What are my options for a rolling jack on the runways ???

That lift is about what a rolling jack costs.

Normally used in collision repair for setting cars up on pinchweld clamps.
