The auto hoist or lift as it is known in some countries has come a long way in the last few years using safety devices, but the lower lifts even if seemed compliant are rubbish and then be avoided.

I get this statement as a hydraulic expert that has rebuilt many hydraulic rams for some hoists, bulldozers, front end loaders and also.

The problem with low cost hoists is seal great quality, machining and metallurgy that are sub standard in cheaper hoists.

I would feel safer working below well made American or simply Australian hoist or lift which has been 20 years old (providing the sport was ultimately received its proper servicing) than stand within cheap imported lift to 5 minutes.

Having established you need to buy quality, what type of hoist if you purchase?

• Clear span two post asymmetric.

This is a most common hoist as you can walk around and provides in the future vehicle through the doors if your car is on a person's hoist.

The symmetric clear span hoist is best for lifting long wheelbase vehicles even though the weight distribution is kept in a limitations of the hoist products, and so the vehicle isn't short on the same weight on all points.

• Floor satellite dish 2 post asymmetric.






• Floor satellite dish 2 post symmetric.

The same rule applies in the western world clear span, do un load long wheelbase vehicles asymmetrically

• Single post surge. These can be built along a wall storing space and can elevation to 4 ton look aftter..






• scissors lift. Just the thing for fast floor work things like brakes and tyre transforms. 3 ton is the typical size for a scissors lift.






• 4 related information hoist. Suitable for major suspension repairs when used with a sliding jacking stand also know as the bottle jack on the actual hoist rails.






• 4 related information wheel alignment hoist. This option with 2 jacking stands is specially versatile and can time savings on suspension replacement and get it done by using an aligner in conjunction with the hoist turntables and decline plates. (built-in. )

When your camera mount your hoist, maintain floor has 6" of the company's reinforced concrete.

• Some 4 posters is sort of OK mounted on prefer the 4 inch floor, but certainly not an asymmetric provide span.

The roof height can also be a consideration.

You will need just about 15' height for the clear span enabling the switch off well-being bar that controls the peak limit.

This is the bar that runs across the top of a clear span hoist, and switches the lift off before it damages the rooftop of vans and extra tall vehicles.
