Thread: 4 poster hoist

Looking for one for a new shed build.
Don't want to spend a gazillion for one.
Single phase preferred but can convert a 3 phase if the price is right.

Thoughts and experience appreciated!

Anyone got a heads up on a supplier or one for sale!?

Will list in the WTB as well!

Cheers

Not sure if you use one for work but I wouldn’t touch a s/h one, up and down 50-100 times a day only reason they get sold would be it’s worn out and not worth repairs
And when there is 3+ ton above ya head
Do you need 4? There’s lots of 2s at good rates theses days

@longrange308 thanks,

Domestic use only. Will be used for maintenance, storage and as a lift to access motorbikes stored above in the attic.

Could knock up a ramp for your access,clear floor 2 post is the go for most work ,gearbox etc
3.5-4 k new nowadays

@Fireflite What about a two then for long term use acro props(?) or posts / frame in a similar way that you use a jack to lift a car, but use axle stands when going under it?

question...
do you need a hoist certified in your own shed ?
or because its just you under there , not an employee as such is it ok ?

This one is available, long way from you though
