I was just getting a quote on a rotary lift installation and the guy suggested Rotary/Revolution, does anybody have experience with these lifts? I believe they are imported .  Bad idea to use these ? 

Would you stand under your car knowing the lift was made in a country where it is ok to:

 

lie

falsify certification documents

not vet supply chain

ship parts that are not manufactured correctly?

 

I would build some trusses to put under your car just in case.

It seems this company in China supplies many companies with lifts, including Rotary.

Got used two post  Rotary going in tomorrow morning.  Rotary SPOA10-FA .  It's from a Sears store.  This should be good enough for a Z car.  ?

 

 

Installed. Wow, this is going to be nice  

Nice big shop with easy chairs, a fridge and a camper for when you're in the "doghouse", perfect!

you're telling me.  Dog house!

 

I like where you keep the ARs ?

That is a very nice shop!  What did you use for insulating the roof?  

What kind of heat do you have?

Insulation and heating are next on my list for my shop once the weather starts getting better around here.

Why did you opt for the 2 post vs a 4 post lift?

I had the insulation installed when it was made. I have a kerosine heater. I'd like to find some type of electric heat so I don't have to keep the doors open. Any ideas.

I chose 2 post over 4 because everybody that works around lifts day to day recommend them.  The 4 posts seem to be in the way a lot. 

 

Nice lift, but i will Always use a 4 post lift for my z cars.. esspecially 280zx and 300zx.. they are so heavy that they bend a little on a 2 post lift.. you can't open a door on a z32 when it's on a 2 post lift..  yeah.. opening is possible but try to shut it...

And.. should i say it... oh well... ofcourse you did what loads of mechanics do.. you put the 240z on that lift in the wrong way.. it should be lifted on the 4 jack-stand points.. not under the floor..  (for as far i can see, your's is not lifted on the jack-stand places.. (see manual..)   sorry..

(with the last MOT of my z32 the mechanic almost did this to my z32,  (Lift the body front by lifting it on the thin sheetmetal floor!..) That's why i'm Always with my car at a check..  I freakt out and told the chop owner that i did not want that mechanic (idiot) near my cars! )
