Kelly Posted 26July, 2013 Report Share Posted 26July, 2013 Very keen to know more about the hydraulic lifter for my shed Kelly The lift is excellent, it runs on standard mains 240v, and requires no installation/attachment to the garage and it can operate in low ceiling garages since it doesn't have posts. Here is a youtube clip from the supplier in the UK, but I did notice the equivalent lift being available from a machinery supplier in NSW (the lifts are made in china). I am very happy with mine, no regrets what so ever. Makes life considerably easier. Here's some clearer pics from my last, even smaller garage! http://youtu.be/moRAb63O72M Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Kelly! any ideas on what it's called if I'm looking for one? Your welcome. Mid Rise Hydraulic Scissor Lift / car lift; would probably be good starting key words.

Russ Posted 29July, 2013 Report Share Posted 29July, 2013 sounds good, I'm probably going to buy one around Christmas/early next year Trying to find one the same as Kelly's with the pads - rather than the flat plate that lifts the whole of the bottom of the car up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twood Posted 29July, 2013 Report Share Posted 29July, 2013 I would very happy to put in some pics of my garage but I cannot seem to get my images below about 23Kb= the maximum size to up load is only 8kb What am I doing wrong? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Russ Posted 29July, 2013 Report Share Posted 29July, 2013 instead of attaching them try hosting them somewhere (like www.photobucket.com or any one of the free image hosting sites) I think file attachments are kept low in size due to space restrictions on the server that PFA runs from Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cal Posted 29July, 2013 Report Share Posted 29July, 2013 That lift is 6 shades of awesome. Can you turn it off once the car is in the air? ie leave it like that for 3 months? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simonk Posted 30July, 2013 Report Share Posted 30July, 2013 I had grand plans to plaster the walls and paint the floor before we moved in but once I'd filled it with all my "beloved" material possessions, it all seemed too hard.

Simonk Posted 30July, 2013 Report Share Posted 30July, 2013 Simon why do you have Star Wars posters in the garage? They should be proudly displayed in the house! They once had pride of place in the living room. In the next house they got demoted to the hall way. And now they're considered not cool enough to hang in the house Obviously Im not the one in charge of artwork in the house. The Mrs was the one that bought them for me many years ago so I am grateful:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlatSix Posted 30July, 2013 Report Share Posted 30July, 2013 I understand not being in charge of decor of your own house, my other half is currently deciding what colour to paint the bedroom. She is thinking purple right now, god help me! If she tries to remove my Star Wars posters it will be the end of it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

murf Posted 2August, 2013 Report Share Posted 2August, 2013 Love this thread! Due to a new baby I've just rebuilt the inside of my garage to also make room for my office/man cave. I was going to always update it with my cars inside but after paying huge rents worked my office into the space as well. Being a creative it's nice to be immersed in a space full of things you love. It's not finished yet tv/fridge to come ended up a rush as the wife popped before it was 100% done LOL - and vintage surfboards to be wall mounted. Working from home has its benefits. Pinball and surround sound has its perks I hate quiet office spaces. Plus on days over 30 degrees its a short walk to the beach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
