Re: [FWDLK] Lifts-Second Time

[Ray Jones <hurst300@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Mine came from American Automotive Equipment. Check here:

http://www.americanautomotiveequipment.com/4-Post-Lifts-p/fp12.htm

Once on the site, look around, check "About us". They make or sell all 
kinds of lifts and equipment.

My sons bought my twin Post lift for me for Christmas last year. I just 
finally got it installed. It's a 9000# lift, and very well built. It's 
A semetrical, and comes with truck adaptors and  2 sets of extensions 
(to raise the pads up off the arms) for the pads, so it will fit any 
thing. I'm a retired Master Technician, so I worked under lifts for the 
last 40 years. I'm very satisfied with this lift, the ease of 
installing, and the performance. I installed it in a 30 X 50 Pole Barn 
with 10 foot walls. the lift required 12 feet, so I installed it a 
little off center, against a truss. Using some steel, I made the lift a 
structural member of the truss and then cut out the center. I did most 
of it myself, needing some help for about 1 hour to stand the posts up, 
add the top sections and the cross arm which carries the hoses and 
cables across from one side to the other. I chose the overhead style to 
keep the floor under the car uncluttered. same price, The floor 
crossover requires a little less headroom, but is a pain in the ass to 
work over. Most recently I had a 1960 Chrysler 300 F Convert up on it 
and it was rock steady.

The company was very easy to work with and the total cost at my door 
was about $1850. It come in 1 skidded lump, banded together, so you'll 
need some way to get it off the truck. I used a neighbors Tractor to 
drag it back onto my trailer and unpacked it off the trailer into my 
shop. . I inventoried the parts, since one box was torn and sent them a 
list. they UPSed the parts the next day.

If any one needs photos, email me.
