[TR] Car lift / hoist

[Alex&Janet Thomson]

Check with your nearest full-line NAPA dealer. Our outlet has quarterly sale
flyers (usually 8 plus pages) that usually have at least half a dozen or
more lifts listed. Rotary is one brand I often see mentioned.

Subject: [TR] Car lift / hoist

 

I have been on the lookout for a decent 2-post car hoist for some time - I
am getting too old and stiff to do exhausts, engine and gearbox oil changes
and brake bleeding with the car on jack stands.

 

Anyway, I found a local outfit who could accommodate my 10' ceilings, but
the only hoist they had was 140" external diameter.  When I explained my TR3
only needed about 6 feet between the posts I got a blank stare.

 

My problem is, the flat portion of my cement floor is only 130" wide:  any
wider than this and there is a slope which would result in the arms being
too high off the floor to get under my cars.

 

Does anyone have experience with a car lift / hoist which would meet my
requirements?
