I have wanted to purchase a lift for years, however after reading the thread by Ray Calvo on the jacking problem. I have decided to make the purchase. Unfortunately my 993 has been lowered. Can any one recommend a Hydraulic Scissor Type lift that will work with our low ground clearance P-Cars. I have some information on the Direct Lift Pro 6MR. However I am not sure if my ground clearance will allow you to drive over it without ramps. Sorry to read about Rays jacking problem

Type in "scissor lift" in search and you will have some good reading.

This is how I do it with my lowered 964. I park on top of it.

This is mine, normal ~3.25" of riser, but can be increased in 1 1/2" increments by adding another layer of 2x12






I roll the carpet up and put a druip tray in place for messy stuff

another way is to cut out the concrete and sink it to floor level. That is a bit more work then i wanted to do. It also makes a great adjustable height work bench using a piece of plywood like Bill has on his.

That has been a big plus, it's great for a miter saw table and working on snowblowers

2 x 12s bolted to the floor worked for me.

Best price I found was at www.gregsmithequipment.com I drove there to look at it prior to purchase. It is a very nice product. They loaded it in my pickup truck and had to think of a way to get it out as it is very heavy. I ended up renting an engine puller and lifted out with that. Once it was on the floor in my garage i used long pry bars to move it into place. I have used for oil changes and going to use for my upcoming shock/spring install. No way I would want to do this with jackstands.

Let me know if you want pic's, I can email them.

Jay,
Can you supply picture with your P-Car on the lift. I looked at the web site, the video is lifting a truck. I would like to see a true automobile lift.

Thanks for the info.

jnx

Yes, I will send you one, then post it here if you can.

can you remove the engine using one of those lifts?

jnx

I don't think you can, there is a cross brace in the way. I have heard of some that removed the brace but not sure if that enabled them to remove engine though.

jnx

Tom, check your pm.
