Re: Anyon used a 4.5T PowerLift Clear floor hoist ?

Ok, have ended up getting a scissor lift as it fits in my shed better than a 2 post and when it is down it stays out of the way, which is good for room.

So if anyone wants a 3 Tonne FORMULA 2 post hoist then drop me a PM or keep an eye on eBay.

Not that I am aware of, even finding people over here than want to talk to you about such things is an issue.
