Sheepo Posted March 15, 2015 (edited) After some months since I presented a new MOC I want to share here too a little MOC I have dome some days ago. It is a car lift with 2-columns like the mechanics use in in the garages. Actually it is very simple. The lift mechanism is a worm and rack. It is very compact, strong and reliable. It includes arms with adjustable angle, and rubber in the end to prevent the car will slide out of the lift and crash to the floor. It also has auto-stop function,, in the top and in the bottom. The maximum lift weight is around 3.5Kg. Here some tests with differents cars and weights(Yes, I keep my cars assembled...). Under de Defender, you feel like a real mechanic ;) As always a little video!! Also this time free instructions for download for 3 differents car scales (1/8, 1/10 and 1/12) here: Download Enjoy!!

Rishab N Posted March 15, 2015 This is awesome. I'm impressed at how much weight it can lift. Will definitely try to build this sometime in the future as i have a spare XL and switch Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sheepo Posted March 15, 2015 (edited) Sheepo this is so cool! Didn't someone make a floor jack? Would love to see a Technic Garage. Me ;) http://www.sheepo.es...arage-jack.html This is awesome. I'm impressed at how much weight it can lift. Will definitely try to build this sometime in the future as i have a spare XL and switch You can use a M or a L motor. Actually for the development I used a M motor, but finally I decided use a XL motor to reduce the stress under heavy loads.

dr_spock Posted March 15, 2015 Cool MOC. It would make life so much easier. I was looking at lifts the other day after I changed the oil on cold wet floor. Too bad my garage is too small to fit one. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Askan Posted March 15, 2015 Really cool! And watching the video made me understand how many super MOCs there are from Sheepo :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BusterHaus Posted March 15, 2015 Great MOC, that auto-stop function is very well executed. It blends into the design of the lift very well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Edwin Korstanje Posted March 15, 2015 Great work again Sheepo . Also great for displaying your amazing cars at a different way Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sheepo Posted March 15, 2015 Welcome back, I already wondered what happened to this genius! Don't worry, I am here to stay ;) I am building every time I have some free time. Actually I have an important announcement to do about my future cars, I will do it coming soon. Some people will like it, and many others don't, but I think it is the best option.

weavil Posted March 15, 2015 That is the best yet!!!! Thought about making one but wasn't sure where to start and never tried. It would be better if you did a pic of a car falling off onto a Technic figure! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lakop Posted March 16, 2015 That's great. I wonder if it would be stronger, and maybe take more weight, if made with studded beams. H Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rm8 Posted March 20, 2015 (edited) I don't have troubles with theory, but practice was always my bad...I envied guys who can easily change something under the bonnet, cut springs, rebuild engine and even attach turbo to his 90HP 1.6L LADA engine. I have such friends office-workers with "gold hands". Talented one. Now my dream come true, and I have my own garage with lift, where I can easily, without dirt, repair and pimp my own cars. Thanks to Sheepo;) p.s. and finally I find the good way to use my yellow (hate them) beams.

Sheepo Posted March 21, 2015 (edited) Now my dream come true, and I have my own garage with lift, where I can easily, without dirt, repair and pimp my own cars. LOL Now I see I am not the only one who hate technic yellow color, I have tons of unused yellow parts in a box hahaha Does your auto-stop mechanism works fine?

rm8 Posted March 21, 2015 LOL Now I see I am not the only one how hate technic yellow color, I have tons of unused yellow parts in a box hahaha Does your auto-stop mechanism works fine? It work fine after I broke one 12t bevel gear. After that I have to change polarity at PF switch:) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
whale2 Posted March 25, 2015 Wow! Just like one of the real things I had in my workshop some years ago. Mine (I mean full-scale) used chain for transferring torque to other pillar or two motors and electronic synchronization. I'd suggest cover the axle between pillars as usually cars are quite dirty :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
