Scissor lift

Finally got round to purchasing a mid rise lift for the garage. And why didn’t I do this years ago instead of struggling with axle stands!

Purchased this handy gadget from Equipment4garages.  This is a single phase unit so ok for my standard mains supply however I had to get a commando socket and plug fitted and update the garage circuit breakers to 20A ‘C’ curve. The breaker is required to allow for surge current when the hydraulic motor starts. Standard breaker would pop.

The lift arrived on an oversize pallet and the fork lift truck driver just managed to push it into the garage on the end of his forks.
There was a small amount of assembly required, hydraulic hoses connections and you have to source some hydraulic oil. The lift comes with some castors which gives some manoeuvrability in the garage as a one person job.

Really chuffed with it and will make those essential maintenance tasks a lot easier.
