"Need" What a man has when it comes to tools. It's like a woman walking past a shoe shop and not stopping [never happens]. Thus, Kaleb, you need a second lift. You will be happy you have it. On Fri, Jan 14, 2022 at 3:53 PM Randy Bennell via Mercedes < mercedes@okiebenz.com> wrote: > > What does

Just sitting in the shop taking a little break from organizing and as I look around, I could see where a 2nd 2 post lift would come in handy. Sent from my iPhone ___ http://www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To

Re: [MBZ] 2 post lifts

There are tall "stabilizing stands" sold for use under a car lift, which have a wide base and a jack screw to keep the car from becoming unbalanced while on the lift... If you have an OSHA approved shop, you have to have those.. otherwise, you are free to try to kill yourself, I suppose.. Also,

I have probably 18-20' ceilings in mine, I have not measured it. So when doing things just as trans r, or maybe changing motor mounts where I would previously put a jack under the engine and jack it up a little bit, how does that work with a lift? Do they sell tall jack stand deals to put

Re: [MBZ] 2 post lifts

Use a 4x4 with a wider plate on top, and lower the car a bit - - or place the 4x4 on a floor jack and raise the post, so you can put a hole in the pan like I did! On Sun, Dec 20, 2015 at 12:25 PM, Kaleb C. Striplin via Mercedes < mercedes@okiebenz.com> wrote: > I have probably 18-20' ceilings in

Get a transmission jack, they are tall, made for that job --R On 12/20/15 1:25 PM, Kaleb C. Striplin via Mercedes wrote: I have probably 18-20' ceilings in mine, I have not measured it. So when doing things just as trans r, or maybe changing motor mounts where I would previously put a jack

Re: [MBZ] 2 post lifts

I URGE you to use extreme caution while pushing UP on a car which is balanced by gravity on a lift. You can upset the balance point of the car, which can lead to disaster, with you under it.. Remember. SAFETY FIRST - STUPID SECOND rule.. All that said.. A transmission jack made or adapted

Re: [MBZ] 2 post lifts

At some point later on down the line I plan on also getting a 4 post lift which I would then use more for this sort of stuff. On 12/20/2015 12:48 PM, G Mann via Mercedes wrote: I URGE you to use extreme caution while pushing UP on a car which is balanced by gravity on a lift. You can upset

[MBZ] 2 post lifts

Any of you cheap lazy folks have a 2 post lift in your shop? I have been looking at them for a while and a few questions come to mind on what to look for. 1. Most work will be on MB, but will also work on my 3/4 ton truck and suburban. 9k or worth the extra $100 or so for a 10k lift? 2.

Re: [MBZ] 2 post lifts

Just be sure you construct the proper base for the posts, which will likely mean digging out a part of your (existing) floor and digging and rebarring a proper footing with the bolts embedded. And bigger is always better. I have seen a couple on CL recently for about $2k but no details on

Re: [MBZ] 2 post lifts

My shop is pretty much built commercial grade and there was a lift in there previously, so I think I am good in that regard. Just since since posting them one more thing has popped up, chain drive or direct drive. On 12/20/2015 11:00 AM, Rich Thomas via Mercedes wrote: Just be sure you

Re: [MBZ] 2 post lifts

I have a two post lift, 9,000lb. Symmetrical arms. Hydraulic over Chain [one main hydraulic pump, one master hydraulic cylinder connected by chain for each upright.] Manufacturer is Rotary Lift Company. The lift arms are long enough to allow access to vehicle doors [unless you are XXXL size],

Re: [MBZ] 2 post lifts

My lift has safety interlocks ever 4 inches that click into place as the lift goes up. If anything fails it can't drop more than 4 inches. You have to release the safety locks to lower the lift. The "chains" are multi layer links rated for way more than the lift is, so I feel pretty safe walking
