Do you even lift?? The Only Lift You Need for Small Garages

Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары

I bit the bullet and finally got myself a proper car lift for my tiny-a$$ garage, and for tight spaces its the best value car lift you can get! This mid-rise scissor lift should be able to tackle any of the small to medium size car restoration project work I'm going to throw at it, and compared to a Quickjack, two post or four post lift is a much better option!

    I bought the exact same lift about a year ago from CAEL in Hamilton Ontario Canada. It's fantastic lift for the price. I recently converted my '71 Challenger from auto to manual trans using this lift - it was perfect for the job because of the open center design. I wish I'd bought one years ago.

    Thanks for your video. I gave it a like but I gotta say that your electrical work is a concern. If you don’t want to run conduit to contain the yellow Romex, then at least use metal clad wiring so the insulation has some protection on that open wall. Secondly, your plug wiring doesn’t have any strain relief. This means the cord weight is pulling on those individual insulators all the time (gravity never sleeps), so eventually you could have an internal connection failure. Thanks again for sharing this.

    I have a basically identical unit here in the UK and have to use assistance ramps like yours for every car I own - if I don't, the cars that can get on the ramp without grounding tend to shove the whole lift forward in the garage rather than climb the ramps.. also don't forget that to come down it has to go up slightly to disengage the locking pawl, so don't stop too close to the garage door opener! (I only narrowly avoided that mistake once 🤣) It is a great piece of kit .. I'd still love to be able to have a 2-post lift, though!

    Hey buddy. Loved the video. Very clear and concise. I am sold and hope to get this same product in the future. My current barriers are, I don’t have a garage 😂 and two, I don’t have a 220 outlet. So the plan is to get those two things first and then I will pick up one of these lifts. I also mainly work on aircooled VWs that don’t have frames and use a floor pan design, but this should still work fine. I’m excited about getting one and it would take my hobby to a whole nother level😆 pun intended.

But seeing your scissor lift it looks like there's a decent amount of space in-between. Do you feel the ramps are a bit too wide? Or maybe it's just the camera angle.

    great video! curious, when the freight truck came to your home to delivery the heavy items, did you have to pay for liftgate service, and did they drop it off on the curbside or on your driveway? Or, did they help you lift it into your garage? Any insight would be helpful, as that is my only hesitation to purchase heavy equipment. I have a sloping driveway into the garage and not sure how to handle the last 25 feet of maneuvering, even if I rented a pallet jack from the hardware store. Any insights are greatly appreciated.

    Hi friend, question for you. Have you found any vehicles that were not able to work due to the drive over platforms being the jack points? Reason I ask is because I have a big range of vehicles by size (tiny bmw z4, c6 corvette, several hummers, and a humvee). My concern is that I will find a limitation with where the platforms don't reach the jacking points on the vehicles. I am debating between this lift and a similar midrise that uses adjustable arms to pivot around to the lift points of the vehicles but Ive love to hear if you came across any vehicles personally that didn't work. My widest vehicle (humvee) is 84" wide. From what I see online, these tracks around about 75" wide so driving over them with the humvee may be difficult. Cheers!

  • @DeadEndRestorations

    5 ай бұрын

    I haven't had this issue, but a Humvee is massively wide and this lift will be too small for it to reach the jacking points. The midrise that uses the arms to reach the jack points is limited because the entire middle underside of the vehicle cannot be reached whereas this leaves a big wide hole in the middle for doing exhaust, transmission, driveshaft work etc. Cheers!

    @@DeadEndRestorations yeah I'm not sure, my thought was kinda making it structural and part of the wall and roof in a way that makes it tied in and out of the way but still functional, and possibly making the feet/arms able to tuck into the wall when not in use so they don't take up space. I honestly don't know a lot about lifts but now I think I'ma start researching and see if this might be feasible and try to do it in my own garage lol

    Agreed, but hence my title for 'small garages' because a 2 post is too wide, and a 4 post eats up all the floorspace in my tiny ass garage! Cheers

    Hi, two questions! First, thanks for posting the video. First question - do you feel secure under the lift without the addition of a low height screw jack? I would hate to be crushed by my own car. Yes, I know that all these lock in place - but I would feel more secure if I had additional braces to support the main weight of the vehicle - for most cars - the front end of the car. How do you know where the center of gravity or balance is; apart from just using the factory pinch welds? We can assume lifting by the manufacturer specified lift locations is the correct approach? My second question is about the logistics of the lift, and how to maneuver it onto the garage. I understand this is not a portable solution. Most of these have a pivot point at the far end and a bar with wheels to drag it along. I've also read that they weigh about 1500-2000 pounds. Lets say you move, and would like to transport the lift onto a trailer and take it to your new home. How would you begin to do that? Thanks!

    great questions! to be honest i do very feel safe, I have since bolted the base into the concrete garage floor with heavy duty anchors and its rock solid. I have thought about sticking a pair of jack stands in between the arms that go up/down and you can/could as an added safety measure. I decided against it because knowing myself, I would forget they were there and lower the lift and possibly cause more damage/injury in the process! As far as moving it around, it weighs around 500-600 pounds and with the wheels its easily moved on a relatively flat surface. I used a combination of dollies/floor jack to maneuver the box into my garage and unbox it. It was definitely a bit tricky without any sort of crane but doable even on my own without any help (from adults at least). Hope that helps, thanks for watching!

    Thank you for your reply! Much appreciated! It's a very nice lift, have you ever thought about cutting the concrete in order to recess the lift into the ground? That way, you wouldn't need to use the extra wooden ramps. @@DeadEndRestorations
