QUOTE(worn @ Sep 24 2013, 07:20 PM)  Getting and using the lift isnt the problem. Having it gone when i am not using it really is important for me. That's why people were burying them in their concrete. Que someone who has a picture of that handy.... |

I can store those babies out in the shed, or under my project car when I don't need em. Thanks! I would probably add a few modifications for safety and stability. |

QUOTE(Jeffs9146 @ Sep 24 2013, 07:48 PM) To quote the very creative Mr Olsen: "If I had even a traditional scissors lift in the parking space, I wouldn't be able to work at those benches without tripping over all that apparatus. A MaxJax would eat up too much space as well -- it'd be especially frustrating when it wasn't being used. And the same goes for a four-post -- the trade-off with floor space is just too high." My problem exactly. Whatever space the car will be lifted in will also be walked over by an oblivious spouse with too many bags in her arms, so if it is going to be installed it has to be smooth and out of the way when not in use. Cutting the concrete is an option, but at this point I would need to save a lot of time with the lift to make up for the time spent renting and using the saw, digging the hole, adding rebar and probably some utility while I am at it, and then wheelbarrowing in the concrete with finishing. Also I am not keeping the house forever (could be a selling point for some though). Hmmmm.... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/popcorn[1].gif) |
