My grandfather was killed when using 4 bumper jacks to lift a car while he replaced the exhaust system for $5.00 labor. Jacking a car is serious business.
@PREDATEURLT 22 години тому
Any kind of jack that has cylinders, threads and so on should never used to work under the car, it has to by solid objects.

I miss the wooden ramps my father built. They were to stay in the garage when not in use but I had to put them outside for the house/garage to be worked on and never got to put them back in and they rotted away. Time flies when you become busy with life but I am still upset about not putting those nice ramps he built by hand and I'll never forgive myself.

I worked in many gas stations where jacking up a car onto floor jacks by hand was standard operating procedure, in one place we had 12 bays and only 2 floor lifts that were kept open for quick oil changes. The rest were all on floor jacks. Many of the older center post lifts don’t allow access to the central area under the car, which is where the mechanical parts of the car are located.

How do you think these products came to be? It was a person with an idea. They made it, they tried it, and tested it over, and over. You have to know how to weld descent and know a little about metal but it's not hard to learn these things.
@M-oneeleven-M111 2 роки тому

Stress testing the metal being used knowing your welds have penetrated sufficiently? As I said I admire the ingenuity not once have a do e any of these creations down, some are very clever. But when your holding a car up you need to 100% know that it's either going to hold up or not tip over. And yes there's many off the shelf products that are not up to the job they're intended for.

I think the idea with these are to work under the car. Sometimes you need to lift by the wheels only because frame is so rusted it can't even hold jack stands.
