Exactly what in the hell did they touch to make it do that? blink.gif headshake.gif

 

Holy crap!

 

Dis not be cheep.

Looks like they hit some sort of eject button...

Glad nobody was under it when it fell!

 

I would say that the arm of the lift snapped or were he mounted the arm was not a good spot and it failed.

 

Actually looks like it could have ended up a lot worse. Getting it upright again without fuggin' anything up seems to be the bigger challenge here.

 

That looks like a catastrophic lift failure to me. Lucky mofo to have been on the other side. T -3 seconds and sleep.gif

If you ever get a call from a shop that your automobile fell off a lift, immediately call your insurance company and get an agent to the shop to total it out. Grab a camera and get there yourself also, if you can. Do NOT let them move it before your agent shows up. Do NOT accept anything short of a total write-off, because the car will never be the same again.

 

I'd like to see the truck after they got it upright, again.

If this was a customer's truck, I wonder if they confessed the truth or tried to cover-up somehow.

 

obviously had to confess, or this video tape would have been destroyed.

 

One guy I knew, his shop called and said

Shop: Um, did your hood have a scratch on it when you brought your car in?
Guy: ??? I dunno, is it noticeable?
Shop: Yeah, it's kinda noticeable.

fast forward to when he got his car back. They had backed over the hood with the back corner of a flatbed and put a 18" gouge/crease in it. Guy was NOT amused.

 

Single post lifts are notorious for that. That's why you really can't buy them any more and most shops have converted to 2 or 4 post lifts.
