Gaining Interest

[MattR]

If the Mods could leave here that would be good.

Just trying to gain interest at this stage. Im looking at bringing a few of these in from the US and trying to see who might be keen to buy one. Ideal for all car enthusiests who would like a traditional hoist but do not have the room. Price should be around the $3000 mark (and discount for SAU members if i go ahead with it)

any feed back would be great.

Cheers

not enough lift you would still be hunched over working under the car .110 voltage might be a problem as well ..........if my shed was higher i can buy a full size hoist for the same money

[MattR]

can be adjusted for to suit our 240volts and yes it is designed for people who havnt got high roof (90% of us)

Looks awesome, but there are BIG issues in the concrete in the floor of a home garage being unable to support the full weight of a car - especially after you drill 5 holes in it on each side for the anchor points. If I had a wider garage I would consider this, but unfortunately it is just not viable for me. Plus when my panel lift door is open it reduces ceiling clearance by a whole heap again. so it would be of little benefit over a jack

If it were cheaper than a chinese full lift, I'd probably be interested.

I've already got 150mm thick slab 32mpa and over 3 metre height in both sheds so that shouldn't be an issue......shame about the price though

i just dont see the point of a hoist that you have to crouch under to use it sounds like a good way to hurt your back to me .
