Re: Heater hindsight




Rich,

Yes, the Kwik Lift may be your answer. I find that I am less fatigued working from a reclining creeper than standing with my arms straight up over my head - must be getting old.

I've seen them and that's probably the only one that'd work in my garage
as I don't even have 8' clearance. The hig point is 7'2" and the low
point is 6'4". I can only raise my car 18" absolute max where it sits or
the roof will hit the ceiling.

I just purchased the Kwik Lift that uses no hydraulics and raises the

approx. 36" off the ground so one can work more relaxed on a reclining
creeper (adjustable back support).
Safer than the full action/height hyd. lifts and poses no garage height
issues.
