800 lb lift (wasn't someone looking?)

I may be picking up a ford e350 tomorrow to play around with this summer while we wait on another bus. It has an 800lb lift that I don't need and I recently read a thread where someone mentioned looking for something like this.

Problem is I have no idea what thread it was! Sometimes I think I spend more time reading this site than could possibly be good for me, but im sure im preaching to the choir on that point!

Anyway, if someone out there is looking for a bigger lift, let me know!

Yeah, I was talking to someone that is in need of an 800 lb lift. I don't see the thread right now. There's usually communication in the mornings. I'll try to connect you then if you two don't get together first.

PigPen, found this for you.

Public Surplus: Auction #1598053

Wrong side of the country, but a nice looking bus.

Sorry, I've been busy with work all day. Thank you everyone for helping connect us. I'll PM both of you know.

I missed the end of the auction! Great find though.

If anyone is still looking for an 800lb lift, I have a Braun Millennium for sale in Austin, TX. It works!

Hi Guys

Day 1 of stripping my bus.

I have an Almost new 800lb lift in mine - very useful so far.
But it will be coming out.

So is anyone out there interested? (located in north CT)
And - How do you do take it out?
AND - is the suspension stronger on this side of the bus to compensate for the extra weight?
Thank you
Howard

Lift gate...

I have a lift gate from the back of an Isuzu NPR that was used for a cabinet installation truck. It needs a New control switch and a paint job but it works awesome.. Its located in the field behind my house in central utah....

Hi Howard, where are you located? That information might encourage someone near who is considering a lift.

Hi Carytowncat

Yes of course - that would help...

Sorry, it is in northern CT.
I have photos and video of it working.

I have also found a company who can remove it for me and then it could be palleted and shipped freight (I believe they are about 350lbs in weight).

It really is in lovely condition.
For more info please email me
hjsmkv@mac.com

Thank you
Howard

I'm looking for a 2000lb or better box van style rear lift. Want to lift my car and drive in the back of my bus rather than do ramps if i can find one. I looked at a wireless winch remote system to operate it with a key chain fob. Looks do able. I'm in Washington state
