Vette falls off the lift..

[clinebarger]

It tipped slowly, If he really didn't want it to fall, he should have grabbed onto something up front and yelled
" Help Help!" I could see myself doing that Embarrassing!

NEVER put yourself in harms way to save a vehicle, In fact....I've never had to because I use Hi-Lift screw stands front & rear on ANY vehicle I consider a tipping risk.

The video billt460 posted is yet another case of a Cheap Lift without locking arms.....Just look how nice the shop is, Clean, Painted floors & all....Working on expensive luxury cars but couldn't buy a quality lift???? Bet they have a nice reception & customer waiting area as well....

Oh man that didn’t look good!

No kidding. I'd guess that at least the one guy was killed.

I noticed that also. I actually checked ours today during a demo, to make sure they're functioning as intended.

That’s too funny lol. We had someone at my work drop one off a Jack and onto the lift arm so it crushed the side skirts, the floor pan, and damaged a little of the fender if I remember correctly. They fired him for that it was his second day on the job too.

Losing your job unfortunate but thankfully no one got hurt. Cars are disposable.

One of my lifts one of the arms wasn’t locking. I almost noticed it too late. First vehicle it did it on I could figured it out and thought it just shifted a little when going off the ground. Second one the same scenario happened so I looked closer and the lock that goes down when the lift goes up wasn’t going down. I had to hammer it down it was corroded up some so after some penetrating oil and some over and over ups and down action I got it acceptable and working. I immediately oiled my other 3 rotary lifts of that style.
