We use something similar to these to lift M113s, but might but a bit expensive for occasional use.

as above... never place any part of your body between the contact surfaces of the track and the floor.... heavy duty axle stands are a must. make sure its on level ground and if need be use a base plate for any bottle type jacks.
common sense stuff i know, but its best said as folk tend to cut corners and get dead ![]()

Have her in gear and chock the track...
However, when I initially got my carrier and had to get underneath, I had a setup of railway ties to drive her up on in order to fit underneath and work effectively - I think this is safer than jack and stands (if you can work on it when it is up this way). Last year when I was rebuilding my shop I was fortunate enough to find a 12,000lb capacity, drive-on FKI Bradbury hoist, with wheels free option, for $1200 (our fleet mechanic was downsizing so I snapped it up)! Now I can work on and under in style! |

Hi All
Good topic for discussion, anything this big and heavy can do a lot of damage if it drops. My personal favorite is 8x8x30 cribbing blocks. I just like the idea of solid objects that are thicker than me that can't slip or tip over. But I really like Hans solution, you lucked out there. Cheers Phil
