Anyone have any experience with one of these?

Used or owned one?

Thinking of investing in one, trying to justify the money for it though.

I have access to a hoist but need to wait weekend for it and cbf

So gauging what the thoughts are here.

Inb4 hoist to lift mum jokes.

That's pretty cool. Didn't even know they existed. How much are they worth?

Seen them for 1.5-2k plus.

I only found out about them last week and just want one because it would make life easy.

At that price I'd buy a 2nd hand 2-poster, if you have room. The scissor lifts get in the way sometimes, but depends what you're working on. Good for wheel areas and most under engine work though.

Looks awesome, I read that thread on this forum also!

Is there a distributor for these in Australia?

Are you a mechanic fossil?

Dimensions? I think I've seen one in action... looks small as in comparison to the car

Can you get these on roller wheels??

Would be good to use to life all corners and put on jack stands in a couple of minutes!!

Not everyone has the high-roof garage required for a hoist.

Seen a few on ebay, but there are a few Australian suppliers if I google. Pricier tho.

Mah man, just a hobby. Plus I don't like other people working on my car.

Yeah I wanna test one out. Nek minnit can hoist up but no room to work.

if you are confident that you are good at wrenching tools then go for it, wouldn't be worth the investment if you just use it to do an oil change and some brake pads..

Found that pic I was after...



They're massive dude.

Does the maker also offer free life insurance? When purchased?

This is awesome!!! Would love one if i had my own garage.

Iv'e looked into these before. I think they are a little on the small side! You will also have issues if doing any sought of exhaust, gearbox or downpipe mods as the braces will get in the way. I think also the posts dont have much adjustment in them so may not be suitable for where you need to mount on the bmw.
If you have the room then get a 2nd hand 2 post hoist
