    It looks like the base should be wider in the car length direction? What if you guess the center of gravity wrong? I've worked as a mechanic with hoists for 35 years, and I want one of these for at home in my garage. I'm imagining building some hold down brackets to bolt it to the concrete for heavier vehicles though!

    There is a marker on the lift that shows the center of gravity that the vehicle must be over. This is a great investment for your home shop no doubt. And yes you can make any brackets and bolt them down, we have thought about doing that.

Curb weight is 5100lbs or so, so it’s under max capacity. If the arms reached the frame, I’d just use some tall safety stands if I needed to raise it up high.
