Anyone know of a website that will tell you the lifting points of all vehicles?
I know most trucks are self explanatory but it's the odd balls, Porsche ,Audi or Volkswagen etc?

Miss my hoist I had at old acerage


Practice, pretty much cars and van that are unibody, the side bottom seams where body meets the floor, is the best place

I need to get a set of flat rubber pads as mine came with the stackable truck frame adaptors

Mine came with these

I've been researching for a long time now.
I know this will stir up some .... But don't buy China made !

Them are just fine for them all

If car is too low, u arm and hockey puck on arm to lift

 

[tex78]

Or u turn them with the frame and the fingers lift on the frame

Exactly the same feet as my hoist at work

Find a friendly tire shop. They usually have the lifting points of most makes and models of vehicles as that's their main business.

I had a second rate tire shop jack the sons car to install a set of winter tires on his new car and they missed the jack points crushing two rocker panels.

Should have taken it to Sumric but was in a hurry so it ended up costing me an extra 1600 to get the damage repaired. Lesson learned.

If Ric had better service and traveled to Red Deer I'd do that too!! lol
Just kidding you can never go wrong with Ric!! Never officially meet him but we've had lots of deals back and forth over the years. Great to deal with!

I'd have one if my ceiling was taller. I am still thinking about buying one even for my machines. I have a bike/quad lift but it isn't great for the sxs.

Too bad , when I bought mine he had a 9000# Atlas scissor full rise lift too.
I bought it and flipped it in seconds!! They are great for that stuff.
Lots guys cut out concrete and re-pour a pad lower so lift is flush!! They are crazy $$ new. I paid $3000 and sold it for $4000 in 2 phone calls. But it was in excellent shape. I

Here's some buddy's from Garage journal !

 

[OVERKILL 19]

Another!!

 

[the_real_wild1]

That is damn near perfect for what I have to do now. If I set it up so I could control each one separately or together it would work well. It would give me more room in the garage

 

[OVERKILL 19]

The Atlas one I sold was even shallower. But came with a price tag because of it.

 

[gotboost]

I wouldn't live without one now

I have a Mohawk 9000lb two post. I bought it new and installed it in 2004. It came with a book that listed all makes of cars with diagrams of the lift points. I bought an updated book from them in 2012 with cars up to that year. I would think that your manufacturer should be able to provide something similar.

Nice! Where did you find a Mohawk dealer? I tried to get pricing but it was too painful. Rotary and Challanger where my top 2... I almost went with the versametric Challanger.
IMO Mohawk Rotary or Challanger are the only ones I would own. And not any of their China cheaper versions ether.

I ordered mine from Luvan equipment in Winnipeg and had it shipped out. At the time they were the closest Canadian dealer. It's a very well built hoist and at the time was not a whole bunch more expensive. I went and looked at all the dealers here in Calgary and what I saw was no where near as well built. I also liked that it was clear floor and hydraulically equalized instead of using cables or chains.
