Very ingenious ! I could have used something like this when I changed a battery on a Ford Focus Electric. Very well made also. Much better than the Chinese crap sold online.

Доброго вечора! Ваш підйомник мені дуже сподобався дуже гарне інженерне рішення але всеж хочю запитити чьому Ви обрали саме такій спосіб підйому автомобіля, а не якійсь інший?Дякую!

👍Скажіть будьласка якої потужності пилосос ? Дякую!

A lot of work has gone into this super-strong jacking system. I do like it.

very nice welds.

👍

Крутий винахід! ,але обмежує у виконанні деякіх робіт!

Спасибо Вам за это видео . Хорошо. Просто.Продумано и выполнено. Я сварщик и благодаря вам буду себе такое делать…. Привет из Минска.

awesome idea mate

John, I trust you are still at the shop making something!!! I am a female welder, 25yrs and LOVE to fabricate new stuff that is functional, sturdy and aesthetically well done. You sir, have made a beautiful, simple design. Again, bravo!! God Bless. SUBBED

Excellent work!!! Thank you for sharing! Any mods you would improve upon?

nice video .. i have a 2008 Astra sedan hatchback i bought in Florida . . awsome cars luv it . 1.8 L .. 100k miles on it .. its like a new car ..runs and drives so smooth .. interior great . pics on my google drive . drive.google.com/drive/folders/1Hn36AebKzJzs7xJ4l8Ok-nAVM8o_SmqV?usp=drive_link

странная комбинация ненадежности от постоянных перекосов при подьеме и неудобства - начиная от необходимости ювелирного заезда и до последовательного многократного 4-х точечного подьема.

Incredible. Well done

Great build , looks petty solid and something better or 8.8 bolt would be good n solid

hi john i find your videos really helpful, i have a 8010 micro and the track extender is jammed on one side. Is this likely to be the ram pin mentioned at the end of your video? Any help would be much appreciated thanks richard

Where are u getting parts from?

Great video for those with limited tools / garage facilities, and good detail of the steps needed. Will of course be noticeably quicker for those who own ratchet spanners or impact wrenches but I like the traditional DIY approach, very informative. Never underestimate a good heavy duty bench vice. I drove a fair distance many years ago to purchase a genuine used Record No. 5 vice in excellent condition for £45. Worth their weight in gold these days and it weighs a lot! 😅 Great homemade lift accessory and I will be watching your build video for this.

Home made car lifter is cool.

I'm going to make a slightly wider one but pull it with a 12v winch and a wire across my lawn......

Its a very good design. A little slow to operate and stow. But very effective

Very good work, but this video is too much long!

Lifting a vehicle for underside service is a problem for everyone without a lift. Jacks and jackstands can be sketchy. I have a project car that needed a torque converter replacement, which means dropping the transmission, as well as running a complete new exhaust system, which required a bunch of cutting and fitting before welding it all together. I knew I'd be spending a lot of time under my vehicle and wasn't going to constantly raise and lower it and setup jacks and jackstands. I had a set of 10" wide truck wheels and tires and some 2x12 lumber, so I raised each corner of the project vehicle enough to slide a truck wheel under it and rest a section of 2x12 across the truck wheel. This got my vehicle roughly one foot off the ground on a stable platform and granted me enough room to work comfortably and safely for the duration i needed to complete my tasks. John, i appreciate your ingenuity in trying to solve a problem we all deal with.

Good creativity but also very limiting. A lot of times tires, wheels, and hubs need to be removed for particular tasks. Would rather have a traditional lift

very intelligent, very smart, great craftsmanship thank you for sharing.

Congratulations you are an artist in desing and tig welding thank you so much for

Best weld's I've ever seen!!!

Nice one

The next version you can buy a Chinese air suspension jack and attach it to the side, should be easier on your back. Nice work btw.

Greate idea. I will defenately steal it from you :)

You should patent and sell these. Pretty sure some foreign someone will present it as their idea 😔

Great idea! Awesome there are some that think outside the box…. and outside the cheap import stores. Craftsmanship and innovation aren’t dead quite yet! And remember, it’s not greed that runs the world, it’s envy.

too much work

It's only if you need to raise a car higher than jack stands allow safety without the cost of putting in a lift (hoist). The pins lack positive retention, which is a safety no-no.

Good way to secure a car when on long holidays. Awesome video.

Too much back and forth monkey motion!!! You should just jack up the rear add jack stands then jack up the front and add jack stands?

Thank you for the detailed video. I think its a great setup. To anyone who disagrees, i invite you to design, fabricate, build and document the building process of creating something "better". Oh, i almost forgot that you then have share it for free online. Thanks John

Smart

couple of suggestions,should have 8 plates with 1/2 inch flat on bottom of main frame to keep from going thru concrete small pieces welded to keep square (not welded to bottom just placed under), second strap tie the wheels to frame to keep from rolling off, one more is frame could be made slide side to side adjustable by inner and outer square so to slide and holes to lock with pins,would make more compact to store too. good design simple. if your concrete is good and thick ok but might give way with just those pipes pushing down if thin.

Very smart. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.

He drive a Volvo, he's a man of safety, trust this man guys 👍👍👍

Excellent work, John! Much gratitude for SHARING!

That's bonkers, wouldn't trust that.

Well done... as a former mecahanic approaching my 70s thistle is a great innovative idea, which no doubt other DIYer home innovators (self included) have already made specific modifications to the overall concept and build tailored to suit personal budget, space and needs includind the use of hydraulics and airbags. No doubt the issue some have seen with immobilizing any initial forward or reverse movement of the vehicle during the initial part of the lift can easily be addressed if one was prepared to have anchor pins that would slot into pre installed holes in the floor that a suitable size pin could easily be dropped and extracted in an out of to.prevent any forward or reverse inertia during that and any other part of the lift. The only other issue l would personally address with this system is finding a way to have suitable metal plates for the 8 vertical pipes to rest on. No doubt others like myself have already addressed how to go about this too. Thank you very much sir. Your workmanship and idea is much appreciated and valued. Have a great day.

very nice, solid build. I like the car too.

Do you have the drawing? I want to make for myself

needs a total rethink, the car jacking point needs to be in the centre of the lift cage and welded in place so you lift both wheels at the same time, half the work and that won't distort floor pans and overstress the linkages beyond what they are designed to take, which is not more than a few inches for most road going cars, it is Ok for the MK1 version but the Mk2 will much better and easier to use,

I Ppreciate the man's determination and workmanship to produce this but I dont really see where's it's any real advantage vecause it blocks access to work on wheels, brakes, suspension, steering, essentially anything blocked by the car stand supports. Plus, that side-to-side jacking and lowering ends up easily doubling or tripling the effort to raise a car versus the sane garage jack with 4 goid jackstands. I think this design needs much more practical usafe refinement, personally.

Nifty 👍🏻 Excellent workmanship!

Very nice, John. Thank you for taking the time to film, edit, and upload.
