[TR] [Shop-talk] Scissor Lift

[Rye Livingston]

Bob - That’s a very nice set up.

Ben - I have the lift like your first link.  I have a TR3 and a Porsche 356, both are too low to fit over it, so I made a rectangle, with 2x12s for the tires to drive up on, and 2x4s connecting the top and bottom to keep everything lined up.  Works well. But I gotta say, Bob’s setup and the way he can lean it up against the wall is pretty sweet!

It is able to lift my TR6 26" from the ground and provides great woking access, and as you can see, it takes up very little space when stored. I use a 1/2 inch drill to power the lift.

I find I avoid interior and dash work because its so low to the ground I struggle to get and stay that low for any length of time.  I already have a two-post lift so access to the underside isn't an issue, but access to the interior is difficult with the arms and post in the way of the door opening.

Specifically I'm concerned about the narrower width of our cars and that we can't lift on "pinch" welds like most modern cars.  Some come with arms and posts to select lift points, others come with rubber blocks to allow specific points to be used for lifting.
