How to install an affordable automotive lift! Perfect man cave!
What happens here
The extendable lift arms are installed onto the carriages of each post. The presenter demonstrates the locking mechanism for the arms, which uses a gear and pawl system. To move an arm, the pawl is lifted, allowing the arm to rotate. Once in position, the pawl re-engages the gear teeth, locking the arm. A set screw is used to fine-tune the engagement of the pawl with the gears, ensuring a secure lock. The arms feature different pads, including fixed and adjustable options, to accommodate various vehicle types, including tractors, Jeeps, ATVs, and UTVs. A spring-loaded pin mechanism allows the adjustable arms to extend outwards and lock into place.
Goal: The adjustable lift arms are installed onto the posts, and their locking mechanisms are checked and adjusted to ensure they securely hold the arms in position.
