Thread: Vehicle hoist

Hey guys I'm currently getting plans through council for a garage, unfortunately it's got a patio above it so 4m for lift height is out of the question. So I was wondering if you could set one up outside in the weather. My brothers father-inlaw has a hoist but I would really love my own

Disguise it as a garden shed, with removeable wall panels and attatch the roof to the rising parts, keeping the working parts out of the rain...

Bee utey good thinking might be able to attach to side of garage that would give me the height and just do a lean-to type roof.

That is amusing, I did drive two of the three in to the back paddock though, they have just through a big part of mine the facility to "run"

And for the one who asked about keeping the hoist out side, be careful of the rams rusting, nothing tears through a seal quicker than a killer whale, sorry a rusty ram

Unless of course you live in sunny Queensland like me

2 post or 4 post. The answer is simple. One of each.

Being a retired mechanic I have worked in places that have had both 2 and 4 post. Both have pros and cons but if I could only have one it would be a 2 poster, which is what I have in my shed.
