This mob is in Wangara. Couple grand for a brand newie seems reasonable.

Hi Ken check WA lifting Equipment in Wangara. New one not that expensive when compared to fixing a secondhand one. Be careful though as the floors in the factories are only about 80mm thick. Not legal for a 2 post. Call past and I will show you my hoist and what I did to comply the floor. Steve

Thanks fellas, i'll pop in steve

As Steve said, dont go second hand it'll bite you on the arse..

Try to save money and it costs you more in the long run

AAA auto gas used to have one....

good point, who would be the best person to chase that up?

ask mark...
but i think they were sold
i was messing with you...

A mate of mine was selling his - its a good hoist.
I weill ask him if its still for sale.

Whatever hoist you look at to buy make sure your power at home ( if that's where it's going ) has the capacity to run it.

There are single phase and three phase hoists.

I went through all this 12 months ago when I bought my 2 post hoist.

3 phase is cheaper 2nd hand to buy ( generally ) than single phase but if you haven't already got 3 phase on then it can be very costly to have 3 phase done.

Spoke to a few hoist repairers and 3 phase can be converted to single if they are hydraulic hoists for about $600 or so.All the hoist repairers said that screw type are to costly to convert over to single phase.

I considered lots of 2nd hand and new single phase hoists in all brands and sellers and ended up buying a brand new Chinese made clear floor hydraulic one rated at 4.5 ton from a Brisbane seller for $2450.
Another $200 or so for hardwiring and 20 amp circuit breaker upgrade and its working great

No more cold hard concrete floors for me!!

And before anyone thinks that Chinese stuff is shit ( yes I also think the same in most cases ) then come and look at mine.The engineering is brilliant and looks over engineered to me for its rated lifting capacity.

The bloke I bought it from is a retired hoist manufacturer and installer and has been doing that for 45 years.He said the Chinese ones now are as good as any other make engineering wise and at least $1500 cheaper than any other make of the same type.

Off track here now a bit

If you want any tips and pointers from me Ken about my research and experience installing my hoist send me a PM with your ph number if you want and I'll give you a call.

ken is in perth...

Yes, aware of that, I can see that below his avatar.

I'm offering advice if he wants it.

i was talking to blacky
his mate has one....

Hi Perth guys,

I am now in the market for a hoist.

I need something which can lift a 4x4, so probably around 4t capacity.

If you can recommend any suppliers and installers I would be very appreciative.
