Default Re: Auto Lifts for Garage

I fully agree with you guys and dont want to get squished either!!...there all copied of the buddy or whoever before the buddy..there just steel welded together, with mechanical locks on all 4 legs, so it aint coming down once locked, and they all make the feet with the same offset to the inside to counter the outward force the legs are having from the weight, they all run the same pump...and all get tested by the goverment before they can sell them...

like I said before maybe its just me but that 12 inches or so of square pipe riding at the same level as the runways is supposed to keep the legs from going anywhere with the offset feet...now that dont look to good to me but is a easy fix to tie them together so they cant go outwards even if they wanted to, I think that would make any of these brands bulletproof...


I am concerned with the cable/pulley thing though and will double check that, one would think the cables can be tensioned so there is not crazy slack when the runways hit the floor??? or set the limit switch to stop the motor when it should???

anything else I am missing????

heading over to watch the backard vid and see what I may be missing when they compare to brand X.
