Check it out, I bought an old service station lift for the garage this week, 400 bucks. needs a good cleaning and paint, I wire brushed most of the crap off of it and degreased it as well as I can for now, really need to powerwash it, And thats out of the question as it is -5 outside.

I think that is the best kind for a home garage.
Wish I had one. Paul |

A good friend of mine has a cousin that had the lift at home in his garage, He owns a auto service shop and had no need for it. All he wanted was 400 bucks for it if I hauled it out.
With a little paint its gone to look great. |

That does look just about ideal.
Where would one buy something like that? (new). And how much generally are they? Biggest pain in the ass working on my car -> jacking it up. (especially the 24"-36" required to pull an engine from a type 1) |

You bought another 914? Group: Benefactors Posts: 7,627 Joined: 27-June 03 From: Portage, IN Member No.: 865 Region Association: None |
Try this one also. Works great for home garages
with low clearence. Kwiklift is the brand, cost a little over $1k shipped, easy to use and the best part it can be taken apart in 15 min and stored out of the way if needed. I'm not a sales rep, just happy with my car lift. - Garold |

Nice lift!
I didn't think there was anyone else in the area, I'm in Minneapolis. A few more and we could have a northcountry ramble! Steve |

I really like that style if you can't fit a 2 post lift in your garage.
I searched the manufacturers name and part number and came up virtually empty handed. |

I wonder what kind of "safety catch/lock" they have? If they have one. That is my only concern with the one pictured in HF's website.

SteveL-
I'm straight South of you about an hour and 45 minutes over the Iowa border- guess that makes mine a "Southern car"? I know of someone else in Rochester, MN. BTW- It was -8 here yesterday! rezron (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) |

Mine is very old maybe 60's it is a 110v activated 3/4hp pump, hydraulic lift, I came up empty on the manufacturer also, it has a solid base, only the arms raise via the ram and it has a safety bar the drops into grooves on the base as it goes up. it has a 30" lift height. I have new rotors and pads to install I cant wait to get started I will be able to do it in record time.
