He's sunk the front end of a forklift into concrete in his garage
after seeing some scissor type lifts at the show it got me thinking if you could make your own using a hydraulic ram and remote pump????
anyone done this??
barry

I reckon the easiest way would be how Charlie of PPC fame has built his.

not worth doing. You can buy em for less than the cost of the bits and the hassle.
I bought the one in our unit (www.retropower.co.uk lots of pics with it in on there) for £750 and its in perfect nick, almost as-new.
Place in Hull does em, can get you details if you want
Thought about building a scissor type bike lift and actually acquired one of those lifting arms that all the pikeys have on their drop side trucks - it has a remote jack and huge ram, never thought of a car lift though
