"Rocker-Style" Drive-On Car Hoist

 |
 |
"It consists of two 16-in. wide, 20-ft. long ramps built out of 3-in. channel iron and webbed with 1 1/2-in. angle iron," he says. "They mount on a 40-in. high V-shaped ærocker' frame built out of 5-in. channel iron braced with 2-in. angle iron. At the bottom of the V, there's a 4-in. dia. pipe that serves as a pivot point. As a vehicle passes the center point on the ramp, it drops down onto a pair of front legs. Each ramp is fitted with plywood catwalks. Spacing of the ramps is adjustable up to 6 ft. by sliding them outward on cross members made out of 2-in. tubing. I use the hoist for everything from my tractor mower on up to my pickup. Cost only about $100 to build and comes in very handy in my shop."
