I don't need one for maybe 6 months or so because I've still got to build the garage which has a pit in it.
What capacity will I need to lift the front of a 110 200tdi?
And..
My pit will have 10mm thick 100mm X 100mm steel angle running all around all 4 sides and welded together at the corners, the finished frame will be sitting on solid concrete.
I've never actually looked at a jacking beam close up but I can see that they are adjustable for width.
Unless someone can advise differently I plan to modify (if necessary of course) the slidey part , remove wheels and make a skid for example. There appears to be two types? Some have rollers to move some slide on a guide rail, whatever I buy will need to be s/h, can't afford new even s/h are expensive unless they need repair.
It won't be used every day so I don't mind heaving it along the angle etc.
I did think of making one out of rsj and a couple of bottle jacks mounted to the top or something -anybody done that?
