    Looks like it's got a fixed height? Just looking for a permanent solution to remove and attach a lawnmower tractor cab between seasons. Probably about 9 feet high.

      Ya, this is a fixed height. You would need to mod it for that application.

    Couple questions: How does the flooring hold up to the point loads of the jack stands? And how smoothly do those small wheels for the crane and/or floor jacks roll across that flooring without getting hung up? I like the flooring, but am concerned about how easily small metal wheels like those on floor jacks, cranes, tool carts & dolleys will roll.

      Generally, anything with wheels rolls better on this floor than bare concrete (on which small stones are kryptonite). As the weight gets heavier, the floor can compress slightly. The floor jack is the worst. If I am lifting the duramax I put a small piece of wood under it. I did not notice any issue using the engine crane though. Jack stands require a wood base for sure, as they cut up the floor.

    Got a similar one without rotating wheels on the front like yours do you have problem to move it around?

    • @johnniemo
      @johnniemo  3 роки тому

      Not at all. There is no weight on the front when it's empty, so it slides around. Once you have weight on it you need to steer from the back.

    What are the ram specs? Does it say 3ton on it?

      It is 1 ton at the minimum extension. 1/4 ton at the max.
