thx Jeff. My shop is mouse proof unless I leave the door open too long but yes. Being in the air is a good thing.

think mine is a lift pro
does yours have a flat bar that moves in and out within the c channel of the 4 posts
if so did you do the install?
if so check your measurements on the width and length of the posts
when moving the lift around to its final resting place if you move the 4 posts out of alignment the flat bar can move out of place when using the rest so that the CATCH MECHANISM fails and instantly or over time either the front or the back lift fails and drops to the ground
on mine it was only 1 toot up from the ground so I just raised the lift up to get all 2]4 sides even and then lower it
called the manufacturer and they said the measurements have to be within 1/2 inch as per manual or this can happen
nothing in manual or the folks who did the install said anything
The installers said here is how you move it around until you find when to place it exactly then bolt it to the floor
BUT EVEN WHEN YIU BOLT IT DOWN MAKE SURE THE 4 POSTS ARE CLOSED IN TO MINIMUM SPECS BETWEEN THEM TO ENSURE GOOD WORKING. order and not a floppy lift that can fail
not sure why this is not mentioned much on 4 post lift websites or discussion
I guess most never move them once installed
one is in a side of my garage 30 by 60 so it has been moved 4 times to where it is now

Mine was installed by Lift King. They explained all of that and lots more to me. When moving the lift, You have to winch strap the uprights to the opposite side to prevent the posts from moving out of alignment. I have no intentions of bolting mine to the floor. Not necessary if you follow the instructions when moving it, but my garage is big enough and it's placed exactly where I wanted it so not really any reason to move it around either. But thanks for the warning.

I wonder if Lift King knows of all the free advertising it's getting from this thread...
Nice addition Rruf fDay...... they cost a few bucks but over time they serve many a different purpose!
