[Healeys] 2 post lift

[Aol Mail]

Charlie,
I have a Direct Lift 4-post lift and my garage has a 7' door and 9' ceilings.  It can certainly get my Healey up high enough so that I can work underneath with a rolling mechanic's stool, or even kneeling.  I can't stand under it, but I haven't found a job under the car that it didn't make better.  Exhaust system work is MUCH better when you can sit down while working.

 This kind of lift is fine as a substitute for jack stands, but as most Austin-Healey and vintage British car owners are getting to the point in life where getting down and back up from a creeper is no longer easy, a lift that will bring the car to a minimum height where a mechanics seat can roll under up to a height where one can stand under it would be much more helpful. I believe that Simon's original request was a lift that can be used in a garage that does not have an over abundance of ceiling height.  The Quick Jack meets that, but doesn't get the car high enough.
  Does anyone have experience with a mid range two or four post lift? Charlie

 I was lucky enough to source the 3500 pound Quick Jack lifts.  It raises the car high enough to comfortably slide underneath on a creeper,  but most of the time I just lay a movers blanket under the car and crawl underneath.  Even thus 3500 pound lift is good for any car that I have.  Quick jack even has a retrofit kit to use the lifts to raise my Harley Davidson high enough that I can do fluid changes and other work sitting on a mechanics seat.  Having a two car garage that houses two British cars and a motorcycle the quick Jack's are nice because you can hang the vertical against the wall out of the way.  Quick Jack offers hangers just for this reason.  My sonbwas here yesterday servicing his girlfriend's Honda Civic on the Quick Jack.  It gets used. Mike MacLean
