car hoist collapse at Mecum!
« on: January 18, 2025, 01:46:14 PM »
 I saw this pic of a 55 chevy that got dropped off of a 4-post display lift at Mecum. They might not sell many more of those there. Apparently, no one got squished.

That is one flimsy-looking lift! I wouldn't send my bike up one like that.
How sad... :(

Hi
That style lift is not anchored or bolted to the floor
it's a lift for hobby guy's to use and storage .Not for professional use
that will cost a bit of CASH to repair that problem 
my 4 post lift is bolted to the floor
