[Tigers] Hydraulic lifts

[James Lindner]

Jay

I have a standard solid door, although I did have the tracks raised about a 
foot so now I have about 8 feet clearance on the door instead of the 
standard 7. More importantly, the opening mechanism, instead of being chain 
driven and mounted in the middle of the ceiling is now mounted on the side 
wall.

I will send you a couple of photos direct, since the List can not handle 
them.

What about interference with the garage door opening?  Does it have to be a 
roll up?  Or can any of them still work with a solid single door?

I also have a 10 foot ceiling (one car garage) and with my Bendpak HD-9X I
can easily fit my Tiger on Top and 67 Vette on bottom. I am able to pull the
Tiger far enough forward to clear the garage door which only has about eight
foot clearance. If I put the Vette on Top both still fit but it is very
tight.

I also had an "oops" and hit the overhead light bulb. No damage but the pop
scared the heck out of me.

Tigers,


How much ceiling clearance do I need for a Back Yard Buddy?


Thanks,


Tym McDowell

I'm thinking of adding a scissor lift to my shop. I don't have room for a
two-or four-poster lift as the ceiling is too low, but a scissor lift will
work just fine.


Hi Andy,

Rethink a four poster. They are much more stable than a scissor hoist. I
have a Back Yard Buddy four poster and I can stop it every 8 inches so it
will work with a low ceiling. I can get to almost any part under a car. Even
when it is not all the way up, I can park a Tiger under it.
You may be able to cut holes in your ceiling for the top of the posts if
they are too high.
