Visiting car lift factory in China

[ozbilt]

Steve & I will be in DongGuan at the beginning of August for a very short trip. We take off from SYD on Thursday 1st around 9.00pm & land back in SYD on Monday 5th at 6.05am.

We are visiting some factories that are making product for us (eg; double glazed windows & doors for houses) & will also including a visit to factory that produces various types of car lifts (2 & 4 post, scissor lift & other interesting stuff)

We need to know what interest there is for car lifts. We will only consider a full container load. That is not many items, as weight is a determining factor in shipping that kind of stuff, rather than size.

If enough interest, we will pursue it further.

For example ...... I am looking at a 4 post lift that has a wheel aligner attachment, along with a scissor lift built in. That will allow me to sort out the suspension issues that people bring to me.

I would be interested in a scissor lift? Being a stock suburban home environment I can't do the hoist but a low height scissor lift would be of benefit to me...

Shipping of course would be an issue to the west coast unless there are a number of takers...

I would be interested in a 2 poster aroud 3.5 tonne single phase if the price is right!!. Have to get itshipped to SA though unless you are doing a road trip!!
Even one as you are chasing would be cool but might be out of my price range!!

[mikes68]

I guess this is a bit of a baseline for here in Aust so I would expect somewhat lower in price... http://www.aaq.net.au/

I wonder if I can get someone to cut into the roof in my garage to make room...

[ozbilt]

also don't forget the mounts!!

I have the drawings on the notebook, but it will be the October trip when I do that. We will not have time this trip & I would need to be on my own so I can travel faster & cheaper.

I just woke up! I remember asking my wife if I could put a hoist in the man cave. I indicated that it would mean removing a large section of our bedroom floor. Then everything went black! Could be she didn't approve. Kerry i'd be interested in a scissor lift but again it would depend on the final price.

Same here - would be interested in a scissor lift, but would depend on price.

same here Kerry

Scissor lift interest here also.
When I was over there we visited a facgory that was turning down the cast bits for car lifts. This was up near Bj though.

out of interest how high would a scissor lift go?
is it high enough to work under or just enough to get the wheels off the ground?

[Nuts]

Lee, they vary but between 600mm to 1,2mr. Ideal for suspension and brake work.

thanks nut
so not really ideal to work under,
I'd be interested in rough price for the 2 & 4 post

[jbrucem1]

as above. If a good price was dangled out there it would be hard to say no.would consider scissor or 2/4 post
