I don't know how high you need to lift, but I got one of these (on
sale at Costco--maybe you have an equivalent 'box' store--for $1,000
a while back). <br>

Gets the car up high enough to just get under it with a creeper (it
has safety locks). My BN2 is up on one now, I'll grab a photo later
if you like. And, no, I don't think it's a good idea to lift under
the outriggers.<br>

<p class="MsoNormal">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.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">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???<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">So, the little MaxJax isn’t licenced over
here. And other short two posters are few and far between.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Scissors lifts seem to be an option, but
they all look rather frail.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">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.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">However, it looks, like most scissors, to
be a bad fit. See attachments.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Issue is that the chassis rails are too
close together to get anywhere near the platforms.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Has anyone got something similar and
managed to work with it?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I presume that lifting the car on the
outriggers is a Nono?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">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?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Any ideas? The auction ends late tomorrow
so am in a bit of a rush.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">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.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Any ideas?<o:p></o:p></p>
