Driving On Your Lift

[RemCharger]

Do not hang your head out or try to open the door and look while moving.

Especially in reverse!!!

Usually you wont need anything.... sometimes when i need to back a racecar on the lift, i will takealong a telescoping round mirror (kinda like a selfie stick) with me, so i can scope my wheels as i go.

Generally on mine, when pulling forward, I just eyeball it. I'll get to the ramps, get out to see if I need to move right or left, make the adjustment, get out and look again. From there I'll look out to see the runway and watch the spacing. When I clear the ramps, shut it off and move it forward, chock the tires and make sure the I clear my garage door on the backside. I had a friend spot this time since I wanted to back it on and have better access to the front end for the work I'm doing there.

I just put a mirror on the wall in front of the lift.

^^^ This is all you need to do. Go to HD or Lowes, get a mirror(s). No calisthenics involved.

If you need some comfort as you get used to it. tape a pool noodle sticking out from each post to find center and just drive straight.

After a little while you will get used to driving your car on the lift. I don't always get my tires perfectly line up center on the runways. But it doesn't matter. As long as all four wheels are on the run way.Everything will work okay.
Before I had my bridge jack, I had to worry about the the car being centered on the run ways. But now the car can be a couple inches to the left or right of the center of the run way. The bridge jack arms slide in our out to accommodate.

I actually thought about the pool noodle. I also like the convex mirror idea. Thanks
