Scissor Hoist-Safe?
Does anyone own one of these? It looks to be extremely unstable and unsafe. Maybe mounted on a trailer would be ok.

First time I've seen em but my gu weighs 2.8 ton so they may be more suited to cars not 4x4s.
Though even if it was rated high enough I'm not sure I could trust it enough.

Looks good for cars in its weight zone.
As mego said the patrol is to heavy for it

There would be bugger all room to work underneath the vehicle anyway.
My advice is: not to follow my advice.

Don't you mean 3.8ton with roof rack,, bullbar,, winch,, dual batteries,and bigger wheels/tyres
I would only use that on passenger cars just to get the wheels off the ground only

I'd have to double check but I'm sure it was 2.8

I am he, fear me
Would be handy for doing tyre rotations, anything after that gets a bit iffy IMHO.
Imagine trying to do any work underneath like a front locker for example.
I'll pass thanks.
Dolphins are so smart that within a few weeks of captivity, they can train people to stand on the very edge of the pool and throw them fish.

I've seen one mounted on a heavy duty trailer for a mobile workshop & you could get under the car.Just drive the vehicle onto the trailer & away you go. That set up looked pretty good. I was just thinking that to have the weight of my car on such a small area as sure fire way to cure the retirement problem.
