mid rise scissor lift - squarebody
1 Attachment(s)
Has enyone ever used a twin scissor lift on a squarebody ? This style :
https://www.bendpak.com/car-lifts/mi...lifts/mds-6lp/ The actual lifting points on these twin scissor lifts are some blocks appropriately placed on the platforms so as to engage the lift point on the vehicle. I see a problem in that the platforms can be set to a minimum 40" inside-inside but squarebody (and earlier trucks?) frames are about 34" outside. |

Nothing some 4x4 1/4 wall box tube couldn't fix.

Re: mid rise scissor lift - squarebody
if the weight of the vehicle can not be somewhat centered over the ramps / hydraulic scissors ,what will happen is as you raise the vehicle the 2 hydraulic scissors and ramps will start leaning towards each other and as you rise higher the lean angle will progress making it very unstable . this is the inherited design of a scissor lift, most if not all the weight must be under the scissor , even if you were to build a cross section between the 2 ramps the leaning would still occur ,but you might get 6-8 inches of lift before the leaning will start to occur .
