Anyone know the use for this? No markings. It is hydraulic.

Pretty sure it's a vehicle lift. Problem is you only have one of two. Those arms cradle the tire, hence the name twin lift.


Or not, good find 3bay :thumbup:

Nice deal. Maybe someone has those pads or “saddles” which makes more sense. You of all guys need those papers too,lol.

Of course I snagged them! I'm sure I've shoved aside more than one of those saddles. At least I now know what to look for.

That's a bumper jack. It's what you used to change tires when the lift was *******.

I seem to recall using one of those at the Corvair repair shop around ‘67. You never crawled under the car without the jack stands in place, though, and taking the weight off of the lift.

Yep, Bumper Jack. Two of the shops I worked at had them. They were great for the work vans and they came with a couple of extension tubes for the top so you could use them under-lift to hold, jack, move things. Great Tool, Extremely well made. I think perhaps Blackhawk and Milwaukee made them? Different versions exist too.

Yes a bumper jack. We had two in the garage I worked in in 1962, If you were doing muffler or transmission work you could use one at each end and have clear space under the car to work.

Wow! I've gotta stop reading this site cuz it makes me feel old. I used one just like this in school, then an air powered version later on the job. I never knew there were pads that went with it, we just set the arms so the bumper would hook against the stops on the ends. I forgot all about the extension tube for under-hoist use until Rustyzman mentioned it.
