<div dir="ltr">I just purchased an EZ Carlift, which you can order from Holden in the UK. It is really nicely done and super sturdy, and uses a mechanical jacking system. I really like it, the guy who makes the lifts in Santa Barbara also provides all sorts of options and add ons for various purposes, and also has wall mounting kits, etc., it's a great system if you have limited space in your garage. I particularly like the castor option which you can move your car around your garage easily.... it really works. US made and beautifully engineered.<div><br></div><div><a href="https://www.holden.co.uk/p/car_lift_e_z_mobile_for_home_and_professional_use">https://www.holden.co.uk/p/car_lift_e_z_mobile_for_home_and_professional_use</a><br></div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Tue, Apr 13, 2021 at 9:36 PM Simon Lachlan via Healeys <<a href="mailto:healeys@autox.team.net">healeys@autox.team.net</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div lang="EN-GB" style="overflow-wrap: break-word;"><div class="gmail-m_1192798205022296447WordSection1"><p class="MsoNormal">You may all wearily recall that I asked about lifts some weeks ago.

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???<u></u><u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal">So, the little MaxJax isn’t licenced over here.

The auction ends late tomorrow so am in a bit of a rush.<u></u><u></u></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.<u></u><u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal">Any ideas?<u></u><u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal">Thanks,<u></u><u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal">Simon<u></u><u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p></div></div>_______________________________________________<br>
