Do You Remember?

Something I have not seen for many year's is a car hoist you drive on to. All I see now is a hoist with arm's that come out, and are put in place by the guy that is about to work on your vehicle. When my sandman was young, I used to take it to a friend's garage and it was driven on to the hoist so I could have a good look under it.

I worked in a servo that had hydraulic single pole hoists. You could actually turn the car around to drive them out. Very cool. The only problem was the pole was covered in greasy oil and many a customer fell foul of them when taking a peak under their car.

Must have been popular heaps have been filled in over the years all the old shops I've seen have them sounds to be a good idea but must have been dangerous or they would still be used . For personal use and recoed I'd love one , drive on then spin it and drive off how cool!
