RMS Epic Workshop/ Garage Thread: Show me your bench/garage

[Antoin]

Anyone have experience of Redmount stuff? Was reading another thread and @Wild Thing had good things to say about them.
TBH, a lot of these lifts look exactly the same, just painted different colours in the same factory.

Think that's the one I am going to end up going for

Portable Car Lift for your Garage or Shop - QuickJack

The QuickJack is a portable car lift that's perfect for your home garage or shop. This garage lift makes all your vehicle maintenance simple and convenient.

Need to be very careful with these, very easy to unbalance them and have the whole lot top over.

Down Garage Equipment are supposed to be good for that kind of gear

Talked to them this morning and got a quote of 'around 2500' and should be in by the end of the month. Name is down for one, Carpe Liftum as they say...

 

[Wild Thing]

make sure you get the auto locks, REDMOUNT are first class

 

[warren]

I really wish I had space for a lift. I think the quickjack is the best I’m going to get unless I move house haha

 

[chrisdromore]

quickjack and quickdeath come to mind

Which model was that for ?

Out of curiosity here, what sort of concrete base depth are we talking for a lift that @StephenDc2 posted? 4" or ideally 6"?

 

[FM155]

@Antoin RM-7330 3T Flush floor scissor lift.

Not even.
It's not got any tilting force on it like a 2 post so you can get away with barely any slab. Just as long as it's a flat level surface.

@Antoin RM-7330 3T Flush floor scissor lift.

Do you have to do the ground work done so it can sit flush or is that included in their price?

Groundwork wouldn't be included in that.

 

[FM155]

No, that's the lift delivered and I'll have to sort the floor which I prefer tbh.

 

[chrisdromore]

Aye was guessing that. Any idea how much to sort that?
I have a 2.5 roof - don’t know whether to go mid rise , or full rise based on assumption you can set a cut out height.

So I might get an extra 30cm height or so with the full lift but it won’t be fully lifted

 

[FM155]

I'll rent a concrete cutter and sort it myself. My son is in the building trade so he'll help me out.

Could be the guts of £1k if you were getting someone in to do it.

Screw that - mid rise and let her sit on the concrete then.

 

[Antoin]

There are full rise lifts that sit on the ground as well.....

 

[chrisdromore]

Ceiling is 2.5m. So based on where it locked out it might be stopping at close to the mid rise fully open. And hence the extra Cost isn’t justified

That's fair enough.
Same line of thinking as myself. I have about 3400 head height and an xc90 to go on the lift which doesn't leave much room at all when a mid rise is extended fully.

That’s epic , do u do a bit of racing?

Brings back memories of late 90s on my ****ty turbo trainer in a freezing washroom off the garage listening to paddy Frazier tapes on the the walk man lol

Was partial to a wee bit of Techno Temple myself

There was a quote in it - “your gonna wake up one day baby and fly like a plane”. At that point I used to just murder myself lol. Can’t mind who that was maybe early Robbie nelson

Advice needed please…..

Got the driveway redone and the intention was to finish it lower than the garage floor. Getting drainage falls however has left it about 10mm above the garage floor. I can deal with that but my main priority now is stop water coming in. Photos maybe explain it better but I was thinking to extend the cobble grout back into the garage under the door but I’m wondering how to finish that inside the garage such that driving over it doesn’t break the edge. Would a bit of 10x10 angle be ok or should I track the garage floor and sink bigger angle into the cut? Or is there anything simpler I can do?

Is it possible to fit aqua channel? You really need to get the water away
