Ah didn’t realise that. Lifts aren’t toys.
Makes me shudder when old lifts get bought privately and no longer are they inspected or maintained.

I worked at a garage many years ago and our Tecalemit 4-poster used to slowly creep down.
You didn't notice it for quite a while until you realised you were stood under a car with bent knees.
When we packed up for the day we used to lock all the customers' cars inside. One was always parked under the 4-poster which was then propped up with bits of tubing.

Idiot toppled the car with the makeshift trolley jack support.

Aye. Not helped by how far backwards the front feet were lifting.

I was amused when the guy tried to hold on to it and prevent it going over - it was waaay beyond the point of balance by that time.
