Not sure the make and moeld of the lift but on one of the Vette boards one of the guys posted pics on his lift that collapsed with his Vette on top (raised) with another car underneath. I cant seem to find it right now but will keep looking for it.

Jeff,
It was in the C3 section of the Corvette forum about Feb of last year. It was an Eagle I believe and it was the lift owners negligence that caused the colapse. Regardless, this incident prompted a number of lift manufacturers to make changes to their pulley designs.

Guys I think I may be ready for a 4 post lift..I need a compact one that is narrow...I found one yesterday and measured it today...it might barely fit but it could be a tad narrower...I dont like it having to be anchored to the floor and the locking system kinda makes me nervous....it seems ok but only on the left bar instead of all four corners...check it out..I just looked online today at the back yard buddy it looks well built and I like the wheels under it would be the ticket for how tight I am..but there units are to wide...anyone else find a narrow one???? I can get this one for 8 bills and I need to move the dam thing..looks like forklift rental time $$$$$ if we go for it...I have no idea what brand it is..we found a Co sticker and looked online they call themselves {Air Dreco} in Tx, they just look like distributors of sorts... if we even hit the right place with a google search...anyone seen these around??? it has real heavy duty I beams on the corners like 3/8 thick!! and ramps and runners are all one piece with 2X2x1/4 box tube it looks plenty beefy, with a 240V motor...need some quick advice before this deal go's away.
Thnx Bud. ![]() |

Dont get one to narrow or a car wont go on it. Mine is 102in.to the outside of each post and 92in between the posts.Why would it need to be bolted to the floor? It doesnt look any more flimsy than other four posts. Double check the garage door height, the height of the cars and the height of the locks on the lift to be sure everything fits.
