A few weeks back I eagerly scooped myself up some scrap metal masquerading as a 4post hoist on facebook marketplace.
The boss women sure must be pleased with my ability to buy "treasures" when I see them The issue with this was going to always be "is it all there" ..... The sum total of all of my knowledge on car hoists is what they look like in pictures
It made no sense how it worked until I realised the power post was two parts, and someone had ran two heavy beads of weld at the bottom to join them together.
allowing me to dismantle the power pole into two pieces and unbolt the cross beam. It still made no sense how the ram was plumbed. I figured it all had to be hidden down at the base of the pole.... so out with the chisels, angle grinder, saber saw .... and anything else that could cut metal.
What a mess right ?
