[TR] Scissor Lift

[Greg Schuett]

Hi,  Ben,

My quick jack ( https://www.quickjack.com/?gad_source=1) has worked very well for me and my TR-4. I have the 5000 model. It’s got a 24” lift and fits the chassis perfectly using the supplied rubber risers.  It comes as two separate lifting assemblies so it can fit just about anything.  As an added bonus, when not in use I can push them together and store them under the TR.    I can drive right over them without having to put them under after I’ve parked.  The hydraulic unit is small and I just keep it on the shelf til needed. Here are some pictures that show full height extension.



Maybe it will work for your needs…

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.
