the last is the case.
It's an optical illusion and in no way dangerous at all!
The car rests well supported on the arms and the straps, you mentionded, have no function.
It gets clear, when viewed from a diferent angle.
At that stage of my build, i put an additional
wooden frame under the car to give more clearance under the arms, for fixing the side pods.

Looks like the post are not anchored to the floor (dangerous I imagine), but I don't understand why the wooden blocks under the forks to stop the lift going all the way down
No way, the posts are anchored.The wooden blocks are there for safety reasons. I put them under the lifter-forks to prevent the lift from lowering while working under the car, in case of an hydraulic failure
Oh yes.
And of course they want to use your spanners, air equipment, lights, heater, consumables, etc.
You also have to get used to the sayings - "have you got any XXX", "can I borrow some of YYY", "its taking a lot longer than I thought", I haven't got the parts I need but will get some next week", "you're not going to need the lift until I can get my car fixed, are you"
So beware....

So Maxjax have a .co.uk web address now. However tel nos seem to be USA. Anybody know if they are available in the UK yet?
Hi,I made an enquiry last week and this is their reply
"Hi David
Unfortunately Dannmar have only just completed CE approval of the Maxjax
lifts. They needed modification to the safety locking system to comply with
the latest European regulations. The documentation is now being submitted to
the GEA for full C.E. approval.
We do not anticipate any deliveries until the new year, probably April time.
We were priced at £1695.00 + £85.00 + Vat, but we have no actual indication
of future prices as yet.
We can of course arrange delivery to your home.
The Maxjax lifts are supplied only for very easy self install.
Kind regards
Steve

They also sent me some pdf's if you're interested.

I bought 2 parking lifts from these guys www.twinbusch.de and had them delivered to Switzerland. The quality is OK, the instruction manuals are so, so. The price isn’t bad.
I also have a scissor lift (from a different manufacture) and is what I use most for working on my cars. Though I highly recommend you mount flush to the floor (you need to dig out the concrete), as it make it more useful when in use and when not in use.
Ideally you'd want 3m or more of hight.
With this I've turn garage parking for 3 cars into 6 or 5 if working on the car on the scissor lift.
No comments about the mess around, it was a quick pick before the tidy up.
