Car Lift

I have had some free days to do a little MOC after many weeks of intense work ;)

It is a car lift with 2-columns like the mechanics use in in the garages.


Actually it is very simple. The lift mechanism is a worm and rack. It is very compact, strong and reliable.

It includes arms with adjustable angle, and rubber in the end to prevent the car will slide out of the lift and crash to the floor.


It also has auto-stop function,, in the top and in the bottom.


Powered my PF XL motor and a PF switch.




 The maximum lift weight is around 3.5Kg. Here some tests with diffents cars and weights(Yes, I keep all my cars assembled...).



Caterham Seven - 2.2 Kg


Volkswagen Beetle Type 1 (RC) - 2.6 Kg


Volkswagen Type2 T1 Bus (RC) - 2.9 Kg


Land-rover Defender 110 - 3 Kg







 Under de Defender, you feel like a real mechanic ;)


As always a little video!!



Finally you can download LDD free instructions and step by step in PDF in the INSTRUCTIONS page, enter and access to the Download folder.

    Good question, finally I decided create a new one MOC instead to rebuilt an old one. The available parts for the bodywork make the proyect impossible to release to the market

    You don't need to buy anything, there are tons of free software to open zip files, even any windows can open them by itself.
