New toy

[Idol]

I have recently bought a new toy to help with my resto! This thing is the nuts!

That looks well handy.

How do they work, do you have to jack the car up then slide the frame under?

I bought it from a bloke on eBay, brand new never been used, he had bought it but it didn't slide under his car due to clearance issues so it just sat in his garage. Their called a mini tilting lift and can be bought from here http://www.cjautosheywood.co.uk/mini.shtml

It lifts 1.5T and can be tilted either way to get right under the car. It comes with a winding handle and a attachment to fit an elect drill too.

I'm well happy, should help with removal of parts for refurb and undersealing etc

I had to jack it up slightly on one side , so that it could slide under, but that's because the car is lowered. If you wound it up by had you would know about it. That's why the drill is a good idea, it zips up in no time. Then it can be tilted either way and locked of. You can probably get better heights by positioning the unit under the car differently.

The trouble with this is the ramp itself is in the way of getting under the car by the looks of it
