Maintanance & Servicing (S r V8)

I'd say a minimum of 4" of concrete would be required.
My Boxster goes on lovely, same as the Cobra.

Like the way he shows the 2 different length arms then puts the Porsche on the wrong way round LOL. (short arms should be to engine end so the vehicle COG is closest to the lift pillars obviously).

Couldn't see any mention of required concrete floor thickness ?

I have a hydraulic two poster, that's half height. Due to restricted ceiling height.
I love it.
Great for most jobs, leaves full access to bottom of the engine, gearbox, axle etc.
Mine doesn't have a base plate across either, so you can roll the car between the posts without obstruction.

Doesn't look like it's on the E4G website anymore which is a shame - looks like a brilliant option for folks like us with limited ceiling height!

When I bought mine it was £190 postage.
Obviously it's big and heavy.

What's the cost including delivery. on short 2 post lift ??
I seem to remember a post on a social media site from this supplier, and he never replied to the questions raised.
That was for prices and information etc on their quickjack type system.

following with interest.
As still looking for the best option for my double garage.

Will check the cost and availability on this because, I don't think the status quo thing is going to happen !
Thanks for forwarding the product info,
Chris.

Looks like a good bit of kit and looks ideal .
I know that I have a bit of height restriction but I am blessed with a good double width garage on
the plus side .
The other option is status quo and stop the age thing !

With respect to servicing & maintainance, I think our type of cars are fairly straight forward,
you normally have to be able to use a grease gun in addition to the normal everyday vehicles .
Therefore in my opinion that's the easy bit of our hobby .
My worst issues are actually getting the car of the floor, on to stands and underneath,
never used to be an issue but hey that's just it !
I know that investing in some sort of lift would help, which is what I've been looking at .
There are some good lifts for home, some of the best and easiest type were the portable
scissor type that I used out in fatherland whilst working for Henry .
Main issue for me is that my driveway slopes toward my garage door and the height inside
is reasonable although not ideal.
My guess is that I will continue with my current measure until my options run out.
