[AT] Shop lifts

[Snelling, Wayne K]

Nephew of mine has a "roll around" four post and the cost was only in the $ 2000 range. I questioned the rolling feature and he got it because his friend has one with a muscle car on it he rolls around in the shop. My nephew got it to put two cars into the same hole ...in a three car garage ...yep inside the garage is tall enough
He suggested I get one for two tractors in same slot in my 14ft high shop. Don't know that I would want to roll a JD 430 around in my shop but, like the idea!

As pretty as that is...I would feel much safer under a four poster. I
worked in a shop once in a remote area of Texas and watched a guy get
stuck under a four-door Chevy because he was too stupid to use jack
stand. To quote a famous TV show, :
"let's be careful out there folks..."
