Talk about precise measurements. It actually goes up all the way

 

nice..enjoy

 

thank you for posting pics! Looks good. Glad it fits but I am sure you get worried each time....that is a great prank to play on someone!

 

now you need this

guy sells this right near my warehouse..

 

Awesome!

 

Wanted to put it in my Living room, but wife rejected that idea..
not really sure why.

 

It would also be perfect to hold a round water-bed. If I'm ever single again I'll entertain that idea

 

Looks good! So the question is how comfortable do you feel working under it?

 

Well, that's a good question

I was a bit worried as when you look at my pics you can tell my slab has a few cracks in it, however I read up on a couple of things on the garage journal website and in the worst scenario I was going to do the same thing this guy did:

However, when I started drilling, I realized that my slab is consistently 4.5"-5" thick and the "soild" pieces where I bolted the lift are also way bigger in area and volume than those pads that some of the guys pour in. It also helps that my slab has been cured for over 20 years

So, I got it installed yesterday, dropped in the anchors as instructed and the lift feels very solid. More solid than the scissor lift I used to have.

I left the car on it overnight and it's still there and even when you push on the car you can tell it's planted. Seriously for $1750 you can't go wrong with it. It's definitely going to be one of my favorite garage mods.

 

I think he ment how comfortable is it to work under there, as it's not standing room do you sit in a chair?

 

maybe old hospital bed

 

Awesome

 

I'll let you know once I take something apart I think with a roller chair it might be better than standing up. Also, another thing to consider is that it's gotta be harder to support engines/trans when it's much higher.

 

Great job Adam!

 

I hate being a naysayer, but from one Adam to another....

you will get zero warning between "planted" and "next of kin". Unless that slab has steel rebar in it, I would simply not rely on unknown concrete.

At the very least I'd always have something much less compressible than a human body under there when you are under it.

Be safe
