“um, yeah, while changing your oil we noticed another issue…”
I think this is one good reason to have a larger lifting point. That is why we *had to use lifting blocks when I worked in a shop.
NYS salt weakens frames a lot, and just putting a car on a lift with small lifting points can cause it to collapse.
The issue here to me seems to be an extremely heavy mostly rear biased truck being lifted on really small points.
I doubt the weight in the back had much to do actually bending the frame. I bet it was more the 1 inch think by 4 inch wide blade they used to lift the truck with. It looks like the person was being lazy and flipped the lift pads up, so the lift wouldn’t take so long going up. This small pressure point, cause the frame to get pinched, allowing the truck to bend in half.
+1 to those employees. I’m glad no one was working on the rear end of that thing.
It has the added weight of the track wheels (or whatever they are called). Who knows what they are packing in the back of the truck too.
Definitely doesn’t look like the weight was evenly distributed though.
im surprised those lifts havent leaked and killed someone.
i thought those style lifts were supposed to be replaced with a 2 post style?
Where’s the driveshaft on that truck?
i think u can see it in the first pic
why would u even attempt to lift a truck like that, in that position on the rails lol
