Default Re: could use some chicagoland help...

I use to bring 4 post lifts to shows. I brought a BYB to a show 1 time with a 6x8 single axle utility trailer. I'llhave to dig for pics.

Basically I had a few boards across the top rail of the trailer,then lowered the lift down. Used ratchet straps to lift the legs the rest of the way up (with down valve open). Fewmore straps to secure the lift. Drove 300 miles with it. No issue.

thanks for all the offers of help and advice guys. I am working on seeing first if the car lifts can be tilted enough to clear the door header. If that works out, then I stand a chance of not dis-assembling!
Its good to know I can move one of these on a trailer!

where to put the cars in the mean-time is not fun. I thought I was past squessing 3~4 cars into a 2 car garage, but I guess not.

Although I can't lift a lot of weight, I can help tow the lifts if you can arrange for a trailer. I'm in Naperville.

once I get the cars relocated this weekend (hopefully), I plan to see if I can tilt the lifts using a car jack next week on my own, to see if they will clear the header. Only got to come down 8 inches, and it looks like I can lift the far end about 3 ft or so up towards the ceiling. really dont want to take these things apart!
