Well time fly when we are having fun, so I'm a bit behind;

Order on a Tuesday and was delivered on Thursday (a day ahead of schedule).

Good thing the truck had a lift gate, at 800 pounds it's not light. We were 3 (including the driver) and it took about 30 minutes from the truck to the garage floor.

The next day, I spend one hour to turn it around as for a Porsche's you want the cylinders in the front so you have all kind of room at the back to be able to do an engine drop.

My garage ceiling clearance is 106". The car is 48" so at the max lift height of 56", it leave 2". Since the car is a cab, I did not have to remove the garage door opener (it's actually in the car once lifted).

Take about 30 minutes to assemble. Very stable, it can lift 6000 in less then 60 seconds.

Had it up about 10 time in the last 2 weeks.

Did a 5 hours cleanup on the H.E/ & the Cat Plate. I'm 5'7" and there is still head clearance when sitting down on a garage stool.

Best investment since I got the car.

Off the truck


Baldor industrial Motor (USA)


Test trial


First lift


24 years of neglect


On a rainy Saturday morning

Garage door opener in the car. Yes I did aligned the wheels & caps... Could lift another 12" with the door close
