Side / End Lift

[slopdog]

I seen one of these online and thought it was something that would come in very handy to me . Doing a lot of part jobs on car repair ( rust wise )
Lots of pictures :
This is a work in process , If anyone has any ideas of a better way to do this i.d be happy to hear . My idea is to use a 3 ton long stroke jack and build a scissor type system , It needs to be low , as im going to use this to lift auto.s to a decent height to repair the lower panels ,

A few more pictures , as work proceeds 'My mig is a 140 horbart , so i use that for the light welds , any that need to be extra strong i use the stick welder with 7018.s

A few more ,frame is built and wheels are installed , the wheels are a bit light , but the bearing and wheel frame is heavy , so if the wheels can,t stand the weight i will just replace them with solid steel one,s

This is as far as i have got so far on this , been busy as a cow calving lately , Hopefuly tomorrow i will get some more doen to it , It,s not a big job , I just have a hard time finding time to do the thing i want for myself .

Good looking welding. Keep the pics coming.

I'm not quite sure I've got it figured out how you are going about it. So I'll stay tuned

Is this a fixture to hold the body panel after it has been removed from the vechile? Having a hard time picturing how this thing works.

Me too but I am glad to see someone else weld their castor's on!

At first I thought he was going to build a rotisserie but not anything like the one I built, so the plot thickens.
Good luck

I think it's plenty tough enough. Looks good so far.

Is there any other way? The holes are for plug welds.
