CJ Autos vehicle lift/tilter
Posted: Sat Aug 27, 2022 1:58 pm
I wondered if anyone has any experience of using a CL01 car lift/tilter from CJ autos. After many years on my knees, I decided to treat myself to a new 'toy.' The package arrived with no contents list, and no assembly instructions; however, that's not the issue that concerns me, as I managed to work it out for myself. I'm struggling to work out where to lift the car with the rubber pads, as the Minor's a semi monocoque design, best practice would be to lift the vehicle on the chassis sill rails, rather than the sheet metal floor - this is made more difficult when a previous owner has routed brake pipes on the lower surface of the chassis rail, both at the same time avoiding the exhaust system, or teetering on the cross member. I realise that the lifting pads are quite large and therefore spread the load, but before I venture forth, I thought I'd canvas opinion/experience of others. I'd also be interested to know whether one of the wider settings needs to be used; according to the literature that came with the lift, it should be at the narrowest setting. Any comments would be appreciated.
