With all this talk of tools and engine stands I thought I better post a (poor phone camera pic) of the latest money pit - A new 4 ton lift for the old garage - finally can fill in that pit !!!

Ã,£1800 fitted.

Nice!

Its much better working under a lift instead of being on your back all day or bending down.

Being on your back absolutely KILLS your neck - I HATE it

******** !

I wish I had the hight for one here

Ã,£1800 ain;t too bad for fitted.... but you know they go for like Ã,£200 on ebay right ?  (dunno about over there tho!)

But if you have a nice woman bouncing on your flagpole it makes up for it  

lol now thats a proper bit of kit.

The coolest two-post one I have seen was in the VW dealership I worked in - it was TALL ...tall enough to fit the high roof LT vans it looked crazy!

^^ eh ?

suerly the hight only denotes how high you can lift something, not how high the thing thats been lifted can be ?

But itd need to be a 3.5Tonne lift? atleast? and then have space for the truck to be lifted into the ceiling too

Im raising the roof of that shed by approx 3 foot this weekend to accomodate vans and the like!

lol, easier said than done !

Too right. Spent this week taking off the roof - it was an old building so tiled - thats going in favour of kingspan roofing, then its get a builder to do the brickwork - not going to try that myself - but ill make the doors and put the kingspan on.

^^^ tut tut tut

all you need to do is brake from the lift to the roof, seperate the roof from the building, then lift it up with the lift !
get the bricky to build the walls up, and lower the roof back on :-p
