Thanks! Like to spend time in there! The lift is a Ravaglioil 3200 kg from Italy.

 

Hi!
I'll try to explain, the lift is immersed in the concrete slab and the lifting table is 57 cm wide and 146 cm long. It lifts to full height about 190 cm. It´s perfect to have the floor free when I don´t use the lift, but you can also have a party table!!!! picture from day after.....
Hope I understand you

Edit, I saw now that I have come to the wrong forum ..... I'll probably be at the aircold, but it's nice to meet you!

^ No! You're in the right spot, this thread is for all cars and their homes. Thanks for the lift info - where are you? And love the table idea!

 

^^ Lift looks pretty beefy with the twin hydraulic rams per side.

 

I want that lift! The twin rams are necessary to keep the closed height low, and two are needed because when lowered the lift has a very slim mechanical advantage. IE, the more it raises, the more power it has.

 

Thanks Anka. That is awesome! The difference in size is not as much as it appeared at first. I'm planning to use an Atlas FM9SL, which has "tables" of 55 cm X 164 cm. It can lift as high as 180 cm and handle over 4,000 kg. See picture below.

Hadn't thought about using the platforms as tables. This is supposed to be my garage and workshop, but my wife keeps calling it her "party barn". Guess it will be both!

 

Ok, thanks!, I´m totally out of order to use social media..... so have patience. Anyhow I`m from west side of Sweden, the cold country in north of Europe, outside the city Gothenburg.
@Guardsredcab, (nice car in your profile) your chose of lift looks powerful and can handle lot of different cars with that "table", but what I´m thinking of is the thickness of concrete, you need 33 cm concrete slab? I used only 15 cm concrete slab, normally in Sweden is 10cm for a garage.
This will be great, you will be satisfied with the lift and your wife have read my wife´s, I have to allowed her a separate room for training!
One good point is to be serious about the light, if you can install some safe light in the floor so you get nice light under the lifted up car, i´t makes a huge different!
Don´t save access to connect air compressor, weld equipment and so on, you can not have to many power outlet/air outlet.

Single large diameter cylinder! Requires a very deep pit.

 

 

That is one seriously tight fit!
Well done.

BTW this is the best dang thread on Rennlist!!

 

thead has been lifted ?

 

Understand and that's appealing. Our foundation plan has a 13" pit and 6" thickness below pit. But shallow pit would be preferable.

Anka, Do you have the model number of your unit? I can't find anything on the Raviglioli US website that is similar.

 

 

what color is the PTS 3 ? carmine? Beautiful in such lovely surroundings !!

very impressive Mob
