My new toy......

[scootr]

I often think if only I had had the cash to buy the things I have today when I was 30. Just imagine how much more use you could have got out of them. :roll:

I know exactly what you mean.
How I struggled on doing jobs in the past - now I’ve got all the kit I want I’m too knackered to use it.

easy to install john?

Very nice, I’d love a set of these.

Perhaps the only downside is that they’d make everything so much easier that I’d have no excuses left for putting things off.

Very nice! Very jealous.

It looks as though the length is adjustable, but hard to tell? I assume it does, to fit any vehicle?
While I know the Z has points you can insert pads in, does the lift come with any generic pads for cars that may not have them?

No, that’s the only issue with them Byron, you need a forklift to get them off, they’re very heavy, I reckon 600kg each ramp. Plus they come stacked on top of each other bolted to a very robust frame at each end. I had to build an A frame and hang a chain hoist of it to get them out of the frames, then you have to get them in position on the floor, not easy given their weight, easiest way is to winch them off a couple of ground anchors, basically blocks of wood bolted to the floor. Once they’re in position it’s easy sailing, you have to follow a bleeding procedure but that’s fine. Because of a tight entrance to the farm my workshop is at I had to get a 7 tonne lorry to bring them, not an artic, however if you wanted one they could get it on an artic with a mobile forklift and get them off at your place. They do offer an installation service, I’ve no idea how much it costs, but you don’t need it, they’re easy to install with a bit of gear. Probably much cheaper to throw me a couple of beer tokens and I’d come down and help you. The guys at Automotech are very friendly so easy to deal with regarding transportation.

Yes and yes Enuff, 4 rubber blocks about 3” high that sit on rubber strips bolted to the ramps, but you can buy taller ones if you want as well. The drive on end of each ramp is adjustable, I can’t think of any vehicle under 7 tonne you couldn’t get on it other than a stretch limo.... :lol:

So all I need to do then is raise my garage roof! Always wanted a double garage, but was thinking more side-by-side. :roll:

Perfect for a side by side double. Do it..!

Sadly space isn't available, and my current one is a flat roof, so that's a non starter as well.
Keep buying those lottery tickets!

Love those! If only my garage was wide enough
