Jeff, what's your #

my dad might want to swing by to see one. one of the 9ft ones.

he has to core drill his slab to make sure it's thick enough though

You would only need 9 feet to fit the lift. But you would need about 11 to raise a truck to the full height. The lift raises to 76" i believe

Chris the anchors are only 6 inches long. I did drill through the concrete in the last location of my lift and everything was fine.

My number is 414-916-1814

How high of a ceiling would I need for the 12'? I've got 12'8" to work with.
I assume they use a 30 amp circuit? Verrry interested....

Jeff,
Travis and I are looking to start a business in the next month or so. If we get the permits and things we need from the city, I'll call you and take one of those off your hands.

Garrett I believe they are 30 amp. I'll see you tomorrow night

Twirkin- the price is what I have listed on craigslist. Sorry

The tall lift is sold. I received cash in hand tonight for it. I apologize for those that were interested.

FYI I have one 9ft tall lift that is 12" wider that the standard lift. I call it a truck lift. The 3 phase lifts can easily be converted from 3 to 1 phase.

I wish I had somewhere to put the wide one right now. Or had a way to get it to my parents' (that'd be a heck of a father's day present, eh?).

Unfortunately, 355 miles east. I'm sure someone will snag these up quick. If not, I'll grab one in the future.

The 3 phase lifts can easily be converted from 3 to 1 phase.

By installing a VFD or replacing the motor..... Easy, but not cheap.

Phase-o-matic STATIC phase converter. $170.00 very easy and very cheap considering what a single phase motor costs.

After doing some research a static phase converter will work fine with these. The static's can be had for <100 on ebay, probably the route I will go. The rotary converters will allow the lift to run at full power, but also cost 400+.

Time to start working on getting a subpanel in the garage:D:headbang

This is what I was getting at. A cheap converter will work but not properly. A VFD, Transformer, or New motor would be required for proper full potential operation. Id just swap the motors personally. Motors can be had cheap.

Yea thats true, and even if you pay $300 for a single phase motor you still got a helluva deal on a real commercial lift for $1300.

I know on my lift I could have never gotten by with 3/4's of the "power".
