The new shop.....

[94m5]

For those that know, this will be old hat.




Just got our new hoist dragged into the shop. I can't wait to get it stood up, leveled, bolted down, and hooked up.


The Cobra is the 1st project to go on it.



My little slice of heaven.

Nice, fun moving those post around isn't it...on my 4 post one of the ramps was 800 lbs and 24 ft long talk about a pain. The shop looks great and you will love having your own lift, I tell everyone that they are the best car part you will ever buy.

[JAX.TRUX]

I want!

 

[slowmkviii]

Very nice
Someday I'll have a shop too

Mike, how do you have that gantry crane mounted to the ceiling? What do I need to buy to get that?

 

[94m5]

Its plenty strong,

Ill describe it more later. I'm drilling my anchors for the hoist right now.

 

[LaserSVT]

Very nice. Me likey.

 

[Sergmark]

Looks good Mike. Mello Yellow should be a fun project..:steering

 

[LaserSVT]

Just noticed we built nearly identical wood work tables and bolted a vice to the corners. Also have the same fender covers. :lol:

Great minds and all that stuff.

You might want to consider a square metal plate to eliminate the possibility of those bolts pulling through.

Got the posts stood, leveled, holes drilled, epoxied, and anchors set.

Got to get my 240 single phase motor for the pump ordered, but other than that, and the kill bar, its ready to go.

What make lift is that?

 

[94m5]

Manitowoc 9000 lb.

Used obviously, but at 1100 bucks, I couldn't pass it up.

American made, and stout as hell.

They came out of a Ford Dealership out here and 3 more are availible where these came from.

And Doug, you have a good eye.

I noticed that the 1st time I poked my head up through the hole in the ceiling.

I already have the plates drilled and ready to install.

Good. Just looking out for a friend.

 

[UltimateSVT]

Very nice. Contracts.

 

[driller]

That's a good deal on the lift.

{Why can't I find deals like that?}

 

[Psychostang]

He said there are three more lifts available.

 

[98lincmk7lsc]

Probably wouldn't be worth getting them from CO to WV...

 

[LSC HUNTER]

Road Trip!!!!!!

 

[BAD97LSC]

Price one brand new, even driving to get one and driving back still would be worth it!

 

[98lincmk7lsc]

I have.

The one I want is about $1700....

Less than $600 "saved" (much less when you count in gas for his Navigator pulling a trailer, and the cost of food) wouldn't be worth it to me.

 

[94m5]

This is an American made, heavy duty hoist, or a Chinese knockoff?

How high are the ceilings? Do I see it right that it goes through the ceiling? Looks great. Though!
