Hi Folks looking for a bit of info from anyone that may have a two post compact ramp, slightly less wide than standard and lower height to fit into a shed with a low roof.
considering buying one to upgrade my current mid rise scissor lift and wondering if its possible to remove the body of a disco with one, as in will the arms reach the points on the body to lift it off with being slightly less wide than a standard two post ramp
Distance between arms on compact is around 2200mm and normal is around 2550mm
interested to find out if anyone has used a compact two post to remove a body before i commit to purchasing
Thanks
Martin

I think the people on the lrtime YouTube channel have a two post ramp outside their home that they use in many of the episodes. You could ask them for their experiences.
yeah i believe there's is a full size two post ramp. but yeah might be worth a message

I would have said it will, you only need to get the lift pads onto the sills to lift the body off.
My 2 poster isn’t that much wider than the discovery itself, can measure the distance between the posts next Saturday when I’m at my workshop.

How low ?
I'd guess that the lift is fine, but if you have a low roof you'll want to check there's actually enough height to get the body clear ! The car's over 6' as it stands and you must need at least 2' (?) to get it clear of stuff ? So fag packet maths your shed needs to have a clear 9' headroom. Preferably more.
Yeah the height is ok i can get the mid rise scissor lift to almost full height with the disco on it so will have enough clearance it was more the sill access i was concerned about with being less wide.
