rob wild Posted August 21, 2006 Share Posted August 21, 2006 Hi Guys just a quick question really, i need todo a lot of work under the car at the moment fitting bits and pieces and just wondered if anyone had come across something like the below but does'nt cost £2500 unlike this one? http://www.maywoodgroup.co.uk/Vehiclelifts/detail.aspx?ID=8 Cheers Rob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedM Posted August 21, 2006 Share Posted August 21, 2006 ..and all the fluids run where? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rob wild Posted August 21, 2006 Author Share Posted August 21, 2006 Yeah that sort of idea maybe but i limited on space. I really was looking for something that you could push the car onto i.e. putting both wheels on the scissor tabel then lift front end up probably only a foot or so and then use my creeper to go under, rather than messing about like i have to at the moment with jacks and axle stands / ramps etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted August 21, 2006 Share Posted August 21, 2006 ..and all the fluids run where? I'm more worried about the can of coke I half drank and left open on the dash Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kosmic Posted August 21, 2006 Share Posted August 21, 2006 Id shit my pants rolling my car onto its side like that...and as RedM said, all the fluids would be all over the place,fuel,coolant,oil,atf fluids ..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TLicense Posted August 21, 2006 Share Posted August 21, 2006 I don't know if I like the look of that "rolling the car onto it's side" business. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest mk47 Posted August 21, 2006 Share Posted August 21, 2006 get jazz1, ray, and a few other tonkas off here and they can assist you in lifting it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SimonB Posted August 22, 2006 Share Posted August 22, 2006 How about these? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnA Posted August 22, 2006 Share Posted August 22, 2006 The roll-over thing is simply ridiculous. But the 'restoration ramps' look like an interesting idea, a cheaper, decent alternative to a proper lift. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheefa Posted August 22, 2006 Share Posted August 22, 2006 and the resoration ones look a little safer than both if you ask me! No way would you find me underneath a 1400KG Supra guys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Wilson Posted August 22, 2006 Share Posted August 22, 2006 If you have the space a secondhand 2 post ramp is only about 500 quid. 750 for a single phase job, maybe. Buildings with headroom are the problem unless ypur neighbours are VERY understanding and you have one outside. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kosmic Posted August 22, 2006 Share Posted August 22, 2006 What about just a hole in the ground - a pit?? surely must be cheaper easier and dare i say safer?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supra-Dupra Posted August 22, 2006 Share Posted August 22, 2006 What about just a hole in the ground - a pit?? surely must be cheaper easier and dare i say safer?? yep, I wouldnt go under/use any second hand lift. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rob wild Posted August 22, 2006 Author Share Posted August 22, 2006 http://www.hamercarlift.com/ if you don't have room for the ramps (not cheap though) Cheers guys i think i'm going to ring these guys because they are not to far from me and see if they will do a custom version. Really i just want a two ramp version of the above. I'm not to bothered about the price but would rather not spend a grand tbh. If i get any where with them ill post the details if anybody else is interested. Ideally i would have the yours chris but i think the guy over the road would have a fit!!! (he's a right pain in the backside!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know if I like the look of that "rolling the car onto it's side" business. The roll-over thing is simply ridiculous. Just for the record I wasn't seriously suggesting anyone use that gizmo for their Supra! I thought it would be an amusing post. I saw them on demo at a kit show last year and couldn't believe what an insane idea they were. Perhaps fine during build or restoration, but not for an operating car.
