What can you do with a two-post lift?
Obviously they can pick up cars and trucks. But what else can you do with them? I have seen them lift a body off a chassis. I have heard of placing a beam across the arms and using a chain in the middle to lift an engine out or place an item in the back of a truck. Any other "tricks" I should know? Thanks

You put the car up on the lift then let it down on the safety stops, then you shut off the power. Now you need to RAISE the car to get it DOWN off the lift. Pretty simple.

How about a piece of plywood on it to use as a temporary work bench?
Or maybe pull the lawnmower (snowmobile) on it to work on it. "Chief McGee" > wrote in message news cHxj.54311$yE1.25654@attbi_s21...> > Obviously they can pick up cars and trucks.

As long as I can use YOUR lift. I don't want to bend mine. If I was stealing a car, I wouldn't give a schidt about the lift.
