Mobile Cart?
Since I have ordered my kit I have been kicking around a lot of different ideas for my shop area. I have always thought I wanted a two post lift but I really don't want one of the posts essentially in the center of the floor. My shop/garage is 24 wide by 36 deep with scissored trusses. 13' tall in the center so I don't really have a height problem just an aversion to the one post. I have also looked at MaxJax as well as various types of flat floor lifts. All are somewhat expensive and take up valuable floor space.
One thing I keep coming back to though is the idea of building a rolling shop cart the frame would simply sit on. Since my understanding is the bottom of the frame is flat, I could construct it to put the car at a comfortable working height. I could feasibly make the footprint small enough to provide access to a significant portion of the frame while building and if I did run into interference I could simply lift it off as needed. This would obviously be used only until the build had progressed to engine installation at which point I would put the shoes on and place the car on my two by four cribbing. I would probably use fairly large rubber or urethane shod casters to enable spinning the car, rolling outside, etc. Mostly wondering if anyone else has attempted this and what the results were. Thanks in advance.
