Rod, will a 4" concrete pad accept installation of a scissor lift such as yours? I'd come to understand that with standard post lifts, the concrete pad must be at least 6" thick. It would seem to me that the scissor lifts offer a much better weight distribution over that of standard post lifts.

Can you report on what your maintenance [to the lift] over the years might entail? Obviously...dependent on how much you use it. But are there maintenance issues? Replacement of hydrolic fluids? Rebuilds of hydrolic arms, etc.?

 

Based on the distribution of weight I don't believe a 4" thick slab would present any problems. The maintenance on the lift is very simple. There are grease fittings on the major pivot points and oiling of the other moving parts. This lift is designed for commercial usage. It will probably never wear out with private usage. Let me know and I'll shoot some detailed photos of the base plates.

 

can I come over?

 

That's the most beautiful garage I've ever seen!

Now...if we weren't both already happily married....hmmm.....

 

In the last picture underneath the car. Are those custom brake ducts for the rear brakes?
