Products for this project

QuickJack 6000TL portable car lift

Why I chose it

I bought the lift to make work underneath Robin easier to approach and less cramped. There are enough underbody, cleaning and maintenance jobs on the list to give it a real purpose in this garage. The goal is a setup I can use regularly without permanently giving up the floor space. Before putting it into service, I will confirm the lift’s clearance, capacity and lifting-point requirements for Robin.

Lift wall mount

Why I chose it

The lift needs a place to live between jobs. A dedicated wall mount is intended to keep the equipment organized and the garage floor clear, rather than leaving it in the way of the next project. Keeping the lift and its storage together should make setting up and putting away less of a chore.
