It is almost a year since I installed the Hero Hoists side by side parker. overall, I have been very happy with this hoist. It has freed up some space to work in my garage, without having to sacrifice some of the rent paying cars I store in there. I’ve had no problems with it. It is a tight fit in my garage, but I knew that going in. Being able to use the full width and height of the hoist would make it even better. Even with my limitations it is still worth it. Due to my ceiling […] The Hero Hoists Side by Side Parker is now installed and fully operational. The locking mechanism is now working, and I have put the E-Type on top. In the last part, I had the electrical connection hooked up and did the final adjustment. The challenge I had with the locking mechanism was that a 1M rod needed to be installed from the rear of the hoist. I did not have this much clearance. To solve the issue, I cut the T-piece off the rod with an angle grinder and drilled out the bit of rod left in the hole. […] The Hoist is almost operational! The only thing left is to get the unlocking mechanism working. In part two I installed the motor and hydraulic lines. Yesterday an electrician connected up the hoist for me. After fixing a minor hydraulic leak I had a working hoist (sans unlock rod). This is timely as I needed to get the 560SEC inside. While the unlock rod is not working I can manually unlock the hoist if I need to. I was able to position the hoist at the height setting I’ll likely be using it and park the 250SE underneath. The […] In Part 1, I had done the heavy lifting to get the Side by Side Parker installed. I have arranged an electrician to come and hook the hoist up on Wednesday. This gave me a deadline to get as much as I could before they arrive. Most importantly to mount the motor. The motor is quite heavy, but straightforward to get mounted. A hydraulic fitting needs to be screwed into the motor so it can drive the hoists hydraulic cylinder. The hydraulic fluid chamber also must be filled. The motor can be mounted either at the front or back of […] I help defray the costs of my workshop by renting some spaces for car storage. This was making the workshop quite cramped, especially with the addition of the 560SEC. Hero hoists offered an interesting four post hoist – a model that could lift two cars side by side and lift them both without the centre pillar. The presence of the centre pillar would have made it difficult to get some other spots to the left of where the hoist is to go. The idea was to be able to take a 4th car for storage and still have room for […] | |||||
