I should hope so.

If you don't mind me asking, what kind or coach is that in the background? The little bit of the lines I can see almost makes me wonder about if it is an older Foretravel(or maybe an older Newell) but can't tell for sure.

Mike.

 

[encantofred]

mike, you are spot on. it is my buddies 1992 newell. i have a 2002 newell that is parked outside while he visits. it is 120 degrees outside the last few days and in my garage it is only 90 so he is parked inside while visiting.

you have a good eye for coaches....

details?

kinda bland to not put details on your setup. And details help with [people doing lift research.

Here's mine from today!

Bendpack HD-7P, not finished with install yet. It just fits into that area of my tandem garage.

 

[LXCam]

Damn Bad, I feel for you on that one if you have to work on the ride. And welcome to the forum!.

I mainly got it for parking, but I can still do stuff underneath it with no issue. I have access to a 2 post lift for anything else.

The weight capacity on my Ammco is 10k pounds. When you are looking be certain to get one that is ALI certified (American Lift Institute) because one of the requirements to get that certification is that they must be able to lift 150% of their rated load, for example on my 10k pound lift it had to lift 15k pounds to be ALI certified. Many import lifts do NOT carry that certification and unfortunately it is something that I don't think a lot of people pay attention to when purchasing a lift, price seems to be the most important factor.

Mike.

Good point, and I'll have to check mine now that you mention it!

 

[AZ Garage]

While exceeding a manufacturer's rating would never be recommended, I can't help but think there's an extra margin of safety; if I had a vehicle that weighed 9,025 Lbs, I wouldn't be afraid to stand under it on a 9k# lift__assuming there were no cracks in the concrete around the base-plates!!

good point.

While on the subject of concrete, most of the popular 9 & 10 thousand pound lifts specify a minimum of four inches (4") thick. If you're building your shop and can plan the slab ahead, you can go a little thicker in the area where the columns will go. When building our house & detached shop four (>4) years ago, I had the builder make an eleven foot wide by three foot length (11' x 3') of the slab in each garage a full six inches (6") thick, just for an extra margin of safety. I had already planned where the lifts were to go, so it was an easy__and no extra cost__inclusion.

I had the concrete guy pour a 6" slab for the pad. He went and did above and beyond and had two square rings made from 1/2" or 3/4"(can't remember which) rebar and placed them around where the feet of the posts would be mounted. We took careful measurements to make sure a ring wouldn't be in the way of a bolt when the lift was installed!

he also had two 1" X 8' rebar rods and placed them were the tires would be for added rigidity.

When the lift installers came by, they mentioned that the concrete pad was the smoothest and most level pad they had ever seen, so I think I got a good guy to pour the pad!

Don't know if this fits here - but this is a 2 ton electric hoist on a 20' long Ibeam with 24' of lift.

 

[R. Deschain]

I have a Rotary Revolution RPT10 10,000lb two-post lift that was just installed.

 

[mikes02ls1]

Atlas 8000lb two post base plate lift installed in my garage.

How high is ceiling?

 

[lakeroadster]

Lakeroadster's Rotary SPOA10... Redeux

Just finished installing our Rotary 2 Post SPOA10 in the pole barn. 2nd installation for this lift, when we moved we took it with us.

 

[rsbad454]

Lift install is complete, my measurements worked out.

Looks great Bad, you've achieved one more parking spot!

Are the red plates between the runners from Rotary?

What features do they have?

They look flat, do they have structure beneath, or any means of capturing any drips they appear to be built to shield the lower vehicle from?

 

[Kus man]

There are 4 red plates to fill the centre of the lift, they are rated for 800lbs each. They were purchased from rotary as an addition accessory and are great to have with the aluminum Ramps real happy with the setup.

Very nice. Where did you get the lift?

 

[shelteredV]

Despite thinking I had it figured out, I did a few things really wrong... And a few things pretty well... I wouldn't buy an asymmetrical again, that much is for sure. I also am sorry I didn't get a really good 4 post with center sled. Because of the radiant tubing in the floor, I was stuck with the post locations, should have been 18" to the left.

Why not asymmetric?

 

[Randy Forbes]

Why not asymmetric?

Sheltered will have his own reasons, but I suspect__and I've been wrong before__it has to do with the length of the wheelbase for the vehicle(s) you're putting on it.

For a relatively short wb front-engine//rear drive sportscar, the asymmetric is ideal; with a BMW M Coupe on the lift, both doors can be fully opened and I can remove the seats with the car's floor about the same level as my belt.

Before condemning any 2 or 4 post, conventional or asymmetric, consider what it is you're going to use it for.

Just my $0.02 worth

 

[Garett]

shelteredV, I know that's a wide truck. Is this the narrow configuration?

Well said.

I've got a Hofmann Duo Lift (Direct Screw Drive) from 1985. It still needs some TLC but it gets the job done as long as the vehicle weighs under 5,000 lbs or so (It's supposed to lift 6k but the bearings are starting to lock out).

 

[Jim The Swede]

Here is my hydraulic lifting table for my motorcycles and other stuff and its infloor mounted.
I bought an old rusty lifting table very cheap, totaly take it apart and got all parts sandblasted, new paint, new hoses, new electrics and shiny acorn nuts.
Covered it all with diamond aluminum plate.
Lifts 1000kg and the table is 80x130cm with extentions in front and rear very easy mounted. I also made a remote control for it
As you can see I can lift every type off bikes that I have and the table works greate Sorry for my bad old schoolenglish......

 

[C_F]

I like that bike table! How does the rear "T" extension piece attach?

Maybe you can se it on this bad picture...
Two 16mm cylindric taps goes in the rear of lifting table,and two springloaded
taps goes in the sides of the table, the same för the front extension exept there is the springloaded taps in the table.
I try to make a better picture....

Thanks, good to know, I'll check the rotary site.

Does this count?

Swede; awesome job with the lift. That is amazing, I like the extensions.

So who got drunk and grabbed the can of black paint to label the walls?
