Scissor lift used by racing team June 1st 2004 A Dandy Lift 250 lifting table from Southworth Handling is proving a winner for the Collard Racing team in Hampshire and its Vauxhall Astra Super Touring Car.
When an engine has to be maintained or replaced, the car is jacked-up to allow sufficient clearance for the collapsed Dandy scissor lift to be wheeled beneath it.
Once in position, the lift table is raised by pedal to support the engine, gear box and sub-frame. It is then withdrawn from the body of the car and moved in safety and with minimal effort to an area where the necessary work is carried out. It has a safe working load of 250kg and lowered height of 245mm. More articles from Southworth Handling Ltd: |
