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><p class=MsoNormal>Thanks,<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Simon<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div></body></html>
