Singh Posted October 18, 2019 Share Posted October 18, 2019 Hi ALL,  where I can get/buy a WHEEL LIFT 6-2" or less clearance ? Help/advise please.   Thanks, Singh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
someotherplace Posted October 25, 2019 Share Posted October 25, 2019 Pretty much any 3500/4500 (350/450) style chassis should get the job done, just have to go measure a few. Fold-down light bar brackets if you gotta have a light bar. If you run wrecks and have radios, you'll want to mount the antennas...somewhere...not on the roof!  You didn't give much info though, are you looking for a brand new truck, used, what brands are you for/against, etc. with more info other members may give details of their setups for garage work (assuming that's why clearance is an issue for you.)  Richard 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sweetk30 Posted October 25, 2019 Share Posted October 25, 2019 my old boss has a tow dolly unit and when he get a cal every so often for the 2 parking towers in town he hooks it to the pickup goes in and uses a come along and straps it on and out he goes . then if need be swap to a flat bed or other unit as needed . Â now i know this can be a problem with todays auto set e-brakes and awd and hybrid stuff but its a option . so if you had 1 and a set of dollys off a wrecker truck you could scoop it up easy to get it out if you get a call or 2 a year for this . 1 Quote ex-tow truck operator . ex- auto mechanic . just a nice guy trying to make a living and enjoy life . 1987 k30 chevy 1ton 4x4 built from scratch truck as my daily driver - work truck .

While that's a creative solution, I wonder if his insurance provides coverage for that activity. A whole lot can go wrong in a parking garage.  Richard 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackAutoload Posted October 30, 2019 Share Posted October 30, 2019 Since these calls are rare, I would get an old eagle claw truck on a 1 ton just for this purpose. 5-10k and you would be in business. This  makes a great yard truck as well. ...on a side note.  You run Your company, not the third party you work for. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
