It's a Bradock series 5, great for cleaning the underside of the car and general maintenance

I would have liked the car to look a little more level than that!

Yes, the car should have been more level , I just quickly put it on to take a picture for the advert and didn't screw out the levelling feet.
That two post lift looks handy for vertically challenged areas

I think mine may be 3.5 tonnes capacity and has 6 foot access and my TVR.

Must’ve had it for nearly 3 years now, gets used nearly daily and hasn’t missed a beat. From memory it was about £950 plus VAT.

Would you feel confident about parking a car underneath it?

My columns are probably nearer 2.8 m high.

I built the garage to suit the ramp and wanted loads of headroom. You can fit a twin cab pick up easily on it at full height giving you 6 foot underneath.
