Hi all, i need a bit of help as im running round in circles spending and getting no where.
My problem is i have a 3 phase car lift that will lift 3500kg.
It is running on single phase with a digital phase diverter fitted rated for5 to 7.5 hp motor and 23a .
The lift works fine with a light load on it ie escort , but will not lift a heavy load ie range rover or transit.
Ive been told there isnt enough start up currant to lift the ramp when loaded.
Can any one advise me correctly on what i need without spending lots of dosh on it, im not a garage im a hobbiest but need it to lift at least my transit. Would a bigger diverter work ? Or what would be involve in changing the motor and pump to single phase ?
Any help or advise would be happly recieved
