its a cheap lift, perfect for non commercial use

if you plan on doing much more mechanic i would pay more $

Nice. I think most of the inexpensive ones come from the same plant in China with different names on them. It's amazing that you can get them for less than it would cost to buy the materials to duplicate one. Just curious- why did you get the one with the cables across the floor when your ceiling is so close to the top of the columns?

Paseb,

One question....What are all of those disconnects for (6)? And what is the supply voltage there, that would require a transformer (looks like a 75kva-150Kva)?

Thanks....just a curious EE.

if i would of put the cables on top, i would of lost a couples of inches. On the ground, i can put the car a little higher

also, ground cables are for limited ceilling like what I have

yea previous owners had a trucking company, but they were strange people, kind of people you dont want to mess with them, we suspected them to grow some "herbs" in the buiding because of all the transfo, fans, neon lights.... you really have to see to understand
