Sizing' Up a Shop Auto Lift

摘要

Two-post lifts, which are the most popular units sold, can be retrofitted into an existing shop. Tired of rolling under vehicles on a creeper, Larry and LeDene Rutt made an investment in an automotive lift when building their shop several years ago. The Chappell, Nebraska, couple opted for a 10,000-pound-capacity unit made by Rotary Lift that provides enough capacity to easily lift a four-door pickup. "I'm getting too old to crawl under vehicles to change oil," Rutt says about the investment, addingthat he has found numerous other uses for the lift. "Truly, it is one of the handiest things I have in the shop. It handles a wide variety of jobs beyond oil changes."
