Vintage cars on 2 post lifts

[FrogPond]

I do find it hard to get my arms to reach in far enough for some of my narrow cars. When you use most of your reach just getting far enough inboard to reach the frame rail, you don't have much fore-aft left. My Herald comes to mind. The frame is like 2 "Y's" tucked in at the tunnel. It's hard to reach the frame where it's near the wheels because you used so much reach getting in to a 5' wide car. No way you are reaching the inboard rails along the tunnel. I have yet to try the Ruby. It's a foot narrower and the frame is pretty narrow at the front. The posts are around 10' apart. Getting out of a modern's doors is tricky. You may have to use the window to exit a full size pickup. If I move the posts in, it becomes a little-car only proposition. It is an Atlas 9000 "asymmetrical". It was the same size as their 7000. I've used channels across the arms to lift tractors and straps to pick a riding mower. Once you get it you'll think of ways to do all sorts of stuff. Put QD's on the hydraulic line and you have a power pack for your hydraulic goodies Mike
