I was thinking of buying a used one...
Anyone have any experience with these screw style car hoists?
This is a car hoist "Stenhoj DS2" Model made in Denark
Basically it lifts with 2 huge acme threaded rods inside the posts that turn together with chain and sprockets under the baseplate. It uses 2 brass or bronze lift nuts and 2 safety lift nuts. apparently you check for wear by the gap between the nuts.
I can't find any maintenance information on them. Parts are expensive from Europe if any available....
Do you think I could check for wear and do maintenance using common sense?
Wouldn't want this to happen......
