Default Auto lift and lower car ramps...

After what seems like a lot of thinking I have come up with my car ramp lift system.
Truck air bag... and it works well. I am very pleased, no more laying on the ground jacking it up and down.
I got the air bag from China for $60 USD - only small problem was minimum purchase was 10 units. After a little begging they sold me one.
Freight was $90USD. Much better than the NZ option of $330USD.
Minimum height is 120mm
Maximum height 480mm
Rated at 3 Ton.

A video for all to see....


I am pleased it worked.. and more pleased it turned up LOL.
Sending money to an account called Ben in China was a little worrying.

That is smooth - and a song by Icehouse in the background. 80's song for a 80's car

Well done

Cheers

Hi Duke

Great idea!

Would it go any higher?

If so then it might be worth heightening the Stands
