    As the title says. Preferably one which lifts up too 4 tonne.
    Also has to be 2 post with long pieces of stabiliser metal feet to spread the weight of the lift and make it more steady.
    Il spend around 1500.
    Cheers.

    I've got a redmount 2 post lift at home for the last 3 years. Never had a problem with it and they are well priced.

    I was looking at them.
    Has yours got the long base metal feet?
    Also how often do you get them serviced and price. And how deep does the base of concrete have to be.
    Cheers.

    It just has standard feet, about 4-6 inches maybe around the base of the posts. If you are going to be loading up to the max 4 tonnes then you'll need at lease 6 inches on concrete. The only need for different feet/supports would be if the floor was thinner or you wanted to lift offset loads, neither of which would be recommended anyway.

    As for servicing, I've never had it serviced as such. I just check all the bolts and pulleys and grease the cables regularly.


    I'll post a couple of pics if you like.

    I'm working away in the garage anyway:o

    Here you go, mine is the clear floor model, better for low cars. The normal one isn't as tall.

    The corsa isn't exactly challenging the capabilities of the lift:P

    Its solid alright, I've had Navara's and a LR discovery on it with no movement or flexing in the lift when raising. The single phase motor gets noticeably slower with big tanks like that though.
