Picked it up and saved 200 bucks. The guy that loaded my trailer at the warehouse had a m///power shirt on and turns out to be a car broker. They had one of these lifts installed in their warehouse as they flip cars... kinda ironic.

One man unload job:

Nice, it changes things a lot having your own lift to work on. I have the Danmar MX6 since I don't have the garage height for a full lift. It's been a life saver.

You just got me excited! You are a mechanic, right? I like your interior painted brick in the garage! I bet it was super retro before it was painted. :-)

Nope, just a hobbyist. Computers are my day job. Between 2 race cars, the 535i and 2 teenage/adult kids, the lift is always in use. The garage came like that, I jut moved into this house about 2 years ago. I did add the lift, that was not there.

Congrats on the lift, It will make tinkering much easier and more enjoyable. I just ordered the Twin Busch TW S3-19 scissor lift to help with my upcoming PS2 install. Been wanting a lift for years, and unfortunately don't have enough ceiling space or concrete thickness for a 2-post lift so this will have to do. Wont be able to utilize the full height of it yet but plan on building a detached workshop in the next year or two.

Very nice! I am almost done with the install and I'll post a video, gonna start documenting this build. It is so much fun.

What do you do for computers? I run a software team out of Bolivia. I find the engineering mind knows no bounds, it is all problem solving!!!

I used to do Corporate IT Management/Network/Server Infrastructure. Then decided to go on my own and I opened an Apple refurbishing/repair store. I have been doing this for 11 years, in the process of opening a second location now.

Has Apple bought you dinner yet? They're constantly trying to fuck you guys, just seems rude not to.

Nothing, but yes they keep trying to make things more difficult. It keeps me on my toes but we have managed to do well despite everything thrown at us.

Enjoy the lift! I'd buy some thick rubber pads to glue/jb weld to the metal posts. Helps prevents dings and also prevents your head from being dinged if you're not paying attention.
