[Shop-talk] 4 post lift for dually with dump bed

[Steve Hammatt, Mount Vernon WA USA]

A number of years ago I considered a pit for a proposed new construction.
I found a company (don’t recall the name, but a good ‘puter search should 
yield the informatin) based in England that makes a pre-fab fiberglass unit 
for a garage pit.  Very nicely designed unit, with lighting, steps, sliding top 
units, etc.  Just a suggestion for something to look at.

Eric - With all your projects, have you considered a walk-in pit?  I believe a typical hole in the ground pit is now frowned upon, but if you have part of your property with enough slope, you could make it so you drive in at the top and walk in at the bottom.  If there is no actual pit, there should be no danger of fluid or gas buildup.

They you could drive anything you have over it.

  OK, so now I have this monster of a truck with a dually rear end and a dump bed.  Most of the garages in the areas can't fit it on their lift (I can't fit it on mine either.) 

  So I was thinking about getting a 4 post lift to work on this thing.  Anyone have any experiences with one that will lift a large truck (F350 superduty with 9' dump bed)? 

  Thanks in advance.
