anyone have comments about his lift?

[autoclassicnut]

any commments?
It's an older Omer Vega lift. It was at a tire /alignment shop nearby. It is rated at 11,000 lbs. It lifts 64" and has the center air jacks that lift another 24"... I won't be using the alignment part of the rack...

I believe it is a German made lift. Sorry for that, but I can get it for cheap,... should I beware?

How cheap and what do you plan to do with it??

 

[autoclassicnut]

Use it in my shop for restoring cars and trucks, ( price is $750)

Get the alignment part with it if you can - those swivel pads are expensive and you can always learn to do alignments!

 

[CarCrafter]

Yeah, I agree with e-tek about the turn tables. $750 is too good a price to pass up. If you decide you don't like it, you could always clean it up and unload it and still make money or at least break even.

Thanks for the comments as I am going to pick this up near the end of the week.

those 2 center lifters that slide on rails, you need to confirm they work. the cost of one of those will totally offset you if one doesn't work. it cost us a little over $1700 for a replacement at my work all because someone didn't check the fluid inside it.

its almost useless if those inner jacks don't work. get the alignment pads if he is throwing them in the deal. otherwise its like $300 for a pair of genaric ones

The center lifters both work ( air ) and I have the plates too! I am insulating the rest of the shop before I drag that thing in here...
