Default My new lift (Nussbaum Sprinter Mobil II)...added more photos

Just got this German lift and it's AWESOME . Thought you may want to see some pix. It's built like a tank and it provides very good access to the underneath of the car. 4" drive-on ramps and no scraping with my stock suspesion. Raised the car for about 38" (and any height in between) with two 3+" hydraulic cylinders. It takes 25 seconds to raise to full height.

Uncrating.

That's an easy fix! Use a "saws-all" and cut to top of your car off.

That is the nicest scissor lift model I've seen. Other I have seen do not have that wide base for the rollers to travel on. Looks very stable.

Periodically, there is a group buy for the EZCarlift on 6-speed; not as fancy, uses your electric drill for power, $1800.
