>>>I'll stick to lowering the load with the ram. When you are under the car
and the cable breaks.........how long before they find you? Sorry but one
of the first rules in safety is don't stand (Lay) under a load.
Sorry...didn't mean to imply that I was under anything other than the
vehicle.
As for breakage, the cars I work on are such that the load will wedge in
between the framerails if there's a failure.
Best I can do to cover for failure is to build everything to double
spec...the lift is rated 4000#; even my truck engine only weighs about
550-600; you get the idea.
