Scissor Lift
Created on 2007-07-09 12:15:01
I have had about 6 PM's on the scissor lift I bought. A lot of you are interested in how it is working for a B so here goes. (I have no vested interest in this product, although some days I wish I did).
http://www.gregsmithequipment.com/Pro6MR-Portable-Scissor-Lift-p/tppro-6m.htm
Here is the unit I bought and some pictures showing access from the side and the underneath. It was $1095USD plus $350 freight from Delaware. I ordered it on Tuesday and it was here in Toronto on Friday! I paid a $40.00 premium for a rear lift truck. IT came on a skid and all I had to do was unpack it, fill it with hydraulic oil and use it.
I have carefully positioned the unit so that at full lift my garage door opener and my light fit in the V between the open hood and the windscreen. The garage door traveller fits between the seats with the top down - with the top up the car is too high to operate the door so in that condition I disable the garage door opener.
The lift capacity is 6000 pounds. I use two 2x6 ramps on the side to raise the car 3" because it makes it easier to put the truck lifts under the car which gives you a variable additional 4" of clearance between the car and the lift. Chrome bumper B's would need these ramps to clear if your ground clearance is
