[Healeys] Platform lift

[simon.lachlan at alexarevel.plus.com]

You may all wearily recall that I asked about lifts some weeks ago. I
haven’t thanked you, until now, for your replies as the search is still
ongoing.

So-called lockdown has slowed everything down as one hasn’t really been
allowed to cavort around the country buying lifts. And they all seem to be
miles away and cost a fortune to deliver. It seems slightly
counter-intuitive to pay, say, £1000:00 for something and have it delivered
for, say, £250:00???

So, the little MaxJax isn’t licenced over here. And other short two posters
are few and far between.

Scissors lifts seem to be an option, but they all look rather frail.

I’ve located a Nussbaum Sprinter 1300 within easy driving distance. It’s a
straightforward mid-rise scissors, but looks better than most. Germany
rather than PRC.

However, it looks, like most scissors, to be a bad fit. See attachments.

Issue is that the chassis rails are too close together to get anywhere near
the platforms.

Has anyone got something similar and managed to work with it?

I presume that lifting the car on the outriggers is a Nono?

I believe that the car is 1540mm wide and that one could thus raise it on
the sills. (Making way for the side exit exhaust!) Wouldn’t that work?

Any ideas? The auction ends late tomorrow so am in a bit of a rush.

Nussbaum manual also attached. The widths don’t match with those on the
diagram
.I gather that one could choose a width out of the factory which,
presumably explains the discrepancy. Of course, it’s possible that I could
tailor the width still further, but I don’t want the car raised up on too
narrow a longitudinal axis.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Simon
