[TR] Car jack for Triumph Cars - EZ Car Lift

[Tom Walling]

Here's still another alternative to floor jacks, jack stands, and creepers: Harbor Freight has this baby for less than the others. Check this out - https://www.harborfreight.com/automotive-motorcycle/lifts-stands/6000-lb-capacity-scissor-lift-91315.html Plus, if you live anywhere close to a store (and who doesn't if you live in N. America?) you can save the shipping costs by picking it up yourself. And HF is constantly running sales, so if you're patient you can really score big-time.


This looks like it gets the car higher than the EZ-Car-Lift or the others which has real appeal to me, since who wants to spend a grand-and-a-half and then scrunch under the car on a creeper?


I have absolutely no financial interest in this whatsoever!!

With these lifts you have to lift on the out riggers which are welded to the main frame members and hence not the strongest part of the frame.

My Ezcarlift fully supports the car on the main frame rails of my TR4, just behind the front wheels and just in front of the rear wheels. While I have not used it yet on the TR6, I know Bob Danielson reports his TR6 is supported just fine. This is not intended to refute the use of the products you cite, but to counter the negative statement about the Ezcarlift.
