The company is Automotech. http://www.automotechservices.co.uk/
They do all sorts of garage equipment and were very helpful on the phone. There are lots of versions out there but i think they all get made in china and just painted a different colour!

HOLY FECK!
And I'm fretting about my halfrauds Chinese axle stands!
Out of curiosity, did you consider anything like these? Have been trying to justify for a while now...

Haha, its still made pretty well even if it was made for a bowl of rice :grin:
There are saftey locks all up the center column so you can remove the hydraulic ram with the car in the air if you wanted. It's pretty stable in the air to be honest! You have to spend a few minutes getting the lift in the right position and test it each time.
I'm going to be removing the rear beam soon which is the only bit of weight left in the back end so it's going to be very front heavy. I think i will put the forklift under the front of it as a safety measure :happy2:
I did look at those types but it didnt really help. All the frame work is in the way if you wanted to work under it and you care still on your hands and knees. Theres nothing better than working under a car stood up!
