kpnuts Posted February 25, 2021 Author Share #13 Posted February 25, 2021 (edited) Tried making the louvers out of quartered cocktail sticks, not very successful I measured the louvers and they are 20mm wide the quarterd cocktail sticks are 1 1/4 mm so way out of scale. I have another idea up my sleeve let's see how that works.

Those lifts are designed to do exactly that... they were originally installed in parking garages.... They were adapted to serve in auto repair shops, they have a ratchet mechanism which absolutely prevents them from dropping..... Hard to find an auto shop around here that still uses a hydraulic or air cylinder lift anymore.... You see the cylinders in the bay floors of the older shops but the lift plate and controls are gone....

marktiedens Posted February 28, 2021 Share #17 Posted February 28, 2021 (edited) Yep - those are exactly the same type of lifts we had in the shop I worked at. They are really quite safe as long as the pads on the lift arms were positioned correctly. We used to park cars like that whenever it was going to snow enough that the lot would need plowed - much easier to plow a half - full lot. Those lifts are hydraulic - each one has its own motor & pump.
