A way to have a rotisserie really fast. Works great....you can lift the car from one side, then from the other.
I do have a rotisserie but we do this at the shop all the time when we want to do something quick without mounting the whole car.
Or its a great way to do a driver quality car.
great for blasting, etc.
Even painting the underside.
If thats a 2 ton unit your overloading the crane. Slide the boom back in at least one position. 
You guessed wrong!!!! Where it is set up it good for 1 TON.

Use support it any other way if you are gonna be working under the car and thats it.....
Also if you will be spraying paint, use a respirator and dont inhale the fumes, and if you are gonna do some welding be sure to use goggles or a welding mask if not youre gonna hurt your eyes.
If you are going to use a cherry picker never install an engine with it or the chain might snap, or a bolt fail, or the hyd piston and fall on your freshly painted car, or your hand, or you.....still ive done it hundreds of times....nothing ever happened. Of course i dont like to lay under an engine thats being lifted with a cherry picker.....but i wont say inwont use one to install an engine because its dangerous and it might fail.
1000 lbs???? No chance!!!!! How much does a stripped shell with suspension weigh????
if you owned a shop like that in the states
osha would shut you down and own you..lol 
But I dont! 
And I can turn out jobs like this, which Im sure most of the US shops cant!

Thats a lot of weight hanging on a single 1/2" fine thread bolt with no safety support of some kind under it?
not even 1/2". Seat belts use 7/16" fine threads.
A safer method would be pass a chain or cable through a body plug hole and into a thick piece of steel underneath. I don't think stressing the seat belt anchor is a great idea since you may need that seat belt to be strong in the event of a crash.

OK guys. This is a useless idea. Discard it....people will die otherwise. This is the load a seatbelt will take if crashing at a fixed object with a stopping distance of 1 foot if traveling at 30 mph. http://hyperphysics.phy-astr.gsu.edu/hbase/seatb.htmlbolt strength....fine is even stronger than coarse. http://dodgeram.org/tech/specs/bolts/SAE_bolt_strength.htmlLike I said, its a different and easy way of doing it. I do it, and it works. Its all I can say. Of course always watch out for your own safety, cant hurt. Will this kill you? Not likely. This is my last post!

Gary,
sorry but I dis-agree.
Life matters. Life is way to short as it is to speed up the process.
A really good friend of mine died 'taking a shortcut'. All because instead of taking 30 seconds and walking around a running farm tractor, he decided to step over a spinning driveshaft that was running a conveyer rig. And it cost him his life. The driveshaft snagged a loose piece of thread on his coverall pants leg and proceded to beat him to a pulp breaking virtually every bone in his body before squeezing him out of his coveralls like a banana. I found out about it the next day when his dad called me at work.
That was Dec 6th 1992 and to this day I get this feeling in my bones like someone is tapping on my shoulder when I'm getting to 'take shortcuts'
Could the same thing happen here or are the scenarios the same? No.
But it's only going to take one simple / miniscule thing to go horribly wrong to change your thought process about safety. And when it does, you will spend the rest of your life thinking what could have been done better
Domingo
My sincerest apologies for the hijack,, and absolutly no dis-respect meant in any way.
But it just gets a little personal for me.
Enjoy life today, It has an expiration date

Nope, there are only 900 inspectors in the United States. They will only respond to accidents, not some guy in a small shop unless there is an injury. Tim Quote:

Boy- that's a cheap shot if I ever saw one. Domingo and his guys have more talent in their pinky fingers than MOST on this board, I have PERSONALLY seen the quality of their workmanship/metal fabrication skills- which are second to NONE! I think an apology is in order- but I'm sure you'll take the low road vs. the high- and just take another shot at Domingo- or myself. We'll just consider the source.
