Hey Jim, cool lift and NICE CAR!!

Where are you located in TX?

Hey Andy:

Remember to check on the cost of the shipping - it's not cheap and you have to get the lift at loading dock so you will need a trailer.

Franck,
Fortunately I live about 3 hours from their warehouse so I'll be picking it up.

Thanks for the heads up.

Eagle Equipment has on website for $1795.00 w/ free freight (whatever that means). I'll need to inquire if they'll drop ship it. I earlize it weighs 950lbs. Haven't looked around on Ebay yet but it sounds like they can be found for less.

Looks like he's in Houston from his license plate frame. That is a sweet lift. I want one!

Sorry guys, I accidently closed the thread. Well - reopened. We appear to be making some headway here. A fellow Rennlister will post some pics of the undercarriage accessablity soon. Yes!

I bought mine for 1bout $1300 shipped. Eagle will negotiate their price.

It's very heavy but will slide fairly easily off the back of a pickup.

Mr.Sullivan
I live in Keller. We do have great tastes in 993s.

I'll post the undercarriage pics this weekend.

Here is another option http://www.asedeals.com/mid_rise_lift.html it is the Band Pak and is $1520 incl shipping to a residence.

I have no idea how this compairs to the Eagle, Snap on, or Rotary. I would worrry about removing the weight of the engine and transmission from one end of a scissors lift and not having enough purchase or footing on the base and having the lift get a little tippy. I don't know where the center of gravity would go.

I would hate to have the 993 do a nose dive!!!

One of our sponsors offered a group buy on lifts last year. Is there much difference between the Eagle lift and the mid-rise lift from X-AutoProducts (the Rejex guys)?

Here is their lift. http://www.x-autoproducts.com/pages/midlowliftspecs.htm

This seems like a less restrictive lift as compared to the Eagle (better access underneath). I might opt for it depending on price and quality. I have a pic of my first choice in lifts at home that I will post later.

The x-autoproducts is the Rotary lift as the drawings and photos are the same as on the Rotary lift. Still don't know which one is best as most of us haven't been able to compair them side by side.

The Auto-X lift looks to be one that offers the most versatility. Boy, would that be handy to have in the garage..

vuugti

Bruce,
You are correct it is the Rotary lift. I was quoted 2350 shipped. The obvious choice is a 2 post, but bay width is restricted as well as ceiling and the Mohawk A7 is out of my league right now. That is THE lift, but about 4x's the price + install.

Wait for the pics!

Thanks guys, your're really helping out here.

How stable are these scissor lifts? Is a four post more stable than a two as logic would suggest? How much do four and two post units cost?

mrsullivan

jim, i will have to start including you on our get-together distributions...occasionally us Dallas-types meet up at a Starbucks or whatever and talk 993s... this makes 3 arctic silver 993 S cars in the DFW metroplex and counting...
