Merklin has a nice lift, too.
Maybe, if he posted a few pics of it, some of us could duplicate it as a winter project.
THAT would be something cool!
Just wondering if the quickjack has enough length to get under the correct lift spots on our Speedsters. It looks a bit short to me. Anyone know ?
I've ordered one. I will publish pics when it arrives
I found this site for Canada.

I still wonder if it is long enough to reach our jack points given the image at the top.
I find those neet but if they do not line up well with your lift points it would be a pain to use....I think Alan told me some time ago that he uses a 42 " scissor lift in his shop, these are called mid rise he says they work well for about $1400. US$
If you have the room. I bought one of these, to work on my cars. I also needed the ability to turn a 1-car garage into a 2-car garage. Initially a bit pricey, but extremely useful not having to lay on my back. 9,000 lb. capacity.

Steven - What are the height and width with the cars loaded?
Lane - There are different models available to suit the garage's available space.
I chose the Bendpak 9ST 9,000 lb, for height and width reasons. My garage is not very tall, so I have more height than I can actually use. I usually sit on a roller chair and work, or stand nearly upright. I selected 120V power so I would not have to do additional electrical work. It is great because I can use one car one week and the other another week simply by swapping positions. The specs are listed below, so just add your car height to the figure.

AND an incredibly CLEAN garage.
Yeah, when I was working, my OFFICE never looked that good - and I had someone taking care of it for me (who was a LOT neater than me!)
Compared to my shop that's still VERY clean.
