My new toy -its awesome and bought for £500 plus £60 trailer hire to pick it up!

It's a Cascos 5 metric ton lift.

Bit heavy to install but I managed it on my own with some Locost lifting techniques

I am so envious mate, well doing it yourself. Ian

well done I should have wrote.

It looks like you have the garage for it.

I'd have to have this outside if it were mine - zippo garage space. Also jealous!

Very nice

Wil the frame work of roller door restrict how high you can lift tin top cars?

^^high lift door conversions should be possible if this is an issue...

very nice, very comfortable to work on the car with too I bet, no more kneeling or lying on your back!

I am jealous, looks a good one.

I didnt have the head room for a full two post lift and due to having bikes I just adapted my 700KG bike lift to do both.

Not perfect but does save the back a lot.


Bike Lift

I have about 3 metres head room , but I'll be removing the cross piece for the door and re bracketing the side rails onto the wall .

I will then be able to lift a 7 so that it's well above head height.

More difficult with a full size car , but I'm working at the possibility of some possible changes to the roof timbers

That's fantastic, great investment (I think my Xmas list has just changed)!!

No I never touched the bike lift, adapted by building the platform around it as it sits 6" high fully closed.

I put a 2" thick rubber block at the four corners of the lift lined up with the chassis

Clever is that, but after looking at the cost of the bike lifts I could buy a car one for less.
