Bradbury 2 post car lift 2.5 ton.

[Dave_Askham]

Hi Guys,

I thought I would give you guys the chance of buying my ramp before I advertised on the dreaded Ebay.

I have a 3 phase, 2 post Bradbury car ramp in the shed, I got it from a neighbour when he decided he needed more shed room.

I don't have 3 phase, so I thought I would get it installed, I then got a quote..... and nearly fell over....

I thought I would get a converter to make it work, however, like most 'good ideas' it never came to fruition and the ramp is sitting idle. So I've decided that it deserves a new home.

I believe its a 2.5 ton, but will check later, It was in working order when I bought it 18 months ago and I have never used it so I can't see why it wouldn't work.

I gave £550 for it which looking on ebay was about the going rate, as you can imagine I'd like to recover as much as I can so a sensible offer would be considered.

I can assist with loading as I have access to a telehandler, I can also assist with local delivery if required.

I'll post some pictures later when I get a chance to clear a space and take some.

Although somthing of this order could solve that problem..

Some info on the motor rating would be helpful in sizing an inverter drive unit...

useful info for the potential purchaser Ray, but not for me as have a single phase 3.5 tonne lift already, Rick

They are a very versatile bit of kit, soft start, programmable acceleration, frequency etc... frequently found in passenger lifts in single phase premises.

Pity I don't have space for a vehicle lift at home, I have to make do with the 35 ton lift at work!

Yeah, that's been the show stopper for me to be honest, I have had various conversations with people regarding using an 3 phase converter, or having a single phase motor fitted to the lift, which I must admit sounded like the best option to me.

In all honesty though, I'll very rarely use the lift and I only got it because it was available and sounded like a good idea at the time.

It's just taking up space which could be used for more bikes, well that's my plan anyway !!!
