Car lift for clutch replacement

[Bury the Trash]

Has it got a tow hitch? Hang it up with the telehandler , that's what I used to do with the land rover.. easy then to remove the transfer box then gearbox, and get at the clutch..

yes ,fitted it myself not long ago. clevis and ball hd one. can prop it when up as well for safety

Depending what you think on the car

Depending what you think on the car

Fill some bags with loose straw to put under the front for protection as you lift it..oldish no value car.. what's to loose...garage often costs more than the car is worth.

need something on the front to soften the blow because the wheels will have to be off /drive shafts out/ ie front wheel drive

Didn't suit me, because of room taken up in workshop and easier to, for eg, weld a sill on without the platform in the way. But on plus side, perhaps doesn't need such good floor to bolt to?
I got one same as Nealy above, just got new cables to fit sometime. Think about £160/pr.

Bought one of these 2 years ago.
Was £1500 plus vat then on ebay.
Business expense. View attachment 1168995View attachment 1168996

How deep does the concrete need to be for fixing in?

Could you lift a small trailer with yours. A flat bed or such like

specs say 200mm. I went 250mm because I could.

Did you pour a whole floor at 250mm or just put in pads?

dug out a section full width x 2.5m.
It was on an existing slope so just took the sloping stuff out and re-concreted level.
used stocks of rebar and 2.5cube so base heavier than any load.

Don't see why not, so long as the wheels pass between the posts. The 4 legs extend enough to reach the four jacking points on any car I've tried, so will probably reach the four corners of an 8ft trailer body.

I lifted a cattle trailer with box section through the side vents.
It was the bast way to get the side arms above the wheels to sort the brakes.

I paid £950 for this a few years ago ( second hand ) - you’re not going to be able to make anything (safe) for less than that surely ?
