stuck on the two poster

[bazbiker]

Went to change the sump on my work jeep tonight because I burst it a while back and welded it all up but it got hit again and started leaking so I thought id just change it for a new one this time, so up on the two poster rap with it and changed the sump but when I went to drop her back to the ground it only went down about a foot and the motor on the ramp decided it has had enough and burnt out. So now I have my jeep stuck almost at the top of the ramp

Good job I have one of the work vans at the moment too, but now I dont know how im going to get my jeep back down

[evil knievel]

thats an interesting situation.....

 

 

 

call the manufacturer, get them to send something out?

[Chris!]

atleast it didnt fall on you when it burnt out

[louie bagel]

is it a screw lift or a drybolic lift? if its a screw lift you can wind it down by hand from the top of each post but you'll want two people and eat plenty of weatabix in the morning cos its a bloody knackering job

dunno what to do if its a hydrolic one the needs to go up before it can go down

 

good luck dude

It’s a motor up and motor down type so couldn’t fall down when it burnt out and then it has safety locks if it drops to quick.

I think its probably second or third hand by now so I’ll just have to find a new motor for it myself. But it looks like I will have to lower the jeep down by hand tomorrow and that’s going to take hours

Does it have 1 motor and a chain drive to the other post?

 

or 2 motors, one on each post?

 

If its got one motor then you can probably wind it down by hand. Takes a while mind you.

 

Dont know about 2 motor ramps. I would guess you can still wind them down but need to do each post a bit at a time

Its just got the one motor that spins it up and down with a chain at the bottom joining the two screws

It took about three hours screwing but the jeep is now on the ground

Now the hunt for a replacement 3phase motor begins

[bazbiker]

Once I got some extra lube on there the screwing got a bit easier
