Talk Morgan Forums Morgan Sports Cars Morgan Three Wheeler & Super 3 EZCarlift 3W Ideal Specs

For those of you who have the EZCarlift, I'm curious how you'd recommend to spec a new one. It appears I've mentally crossed the line of long term 3W ownership commitment. A lift seems prudent. The spec sheet includes the following options.

My US-spec 3W is slightly lower due to Ohlins.
I'd also use it for my Ural motorcycle with sidecar (purchase a second Cross Spacer?)

Which options are necessary and recommended ?

a) 1" Tall 3" Diameter Block Set (4), $42
b) 2" Rubber Block Set (4), $48
c) 1" Rubber Block Set with Eye Bolt, $47
d) 2.5" Rubber Block Set with Magnets, $58
e) Limited Space Kit, $79
f) Soft Surface Kit, $74
g) Floor Saver Kit, $79
h) Floor Finish Saver Kit, $86
i) Ramp Extension Kit (2), $97
j) Work Bench Kit, $75
k) Ground Clearance Kit, $157
l) Drive Over Kit, $284
m) Motorcycle Lift Kit, $327
n) Work Range Extender, $97
0) Moving Castor Wheel Kit, $311 (I like this one!)

My work setting is currently a rented mancave garage with ample space, a concrete floor and multiple vehicles to move around. I could see it being moved occasionally to a 7x14 enclosed cargo trailer for rally's and vacations. Longer term, I see this sitting in my living room for long winters of detailing toys.

Thoughts?

After looking into the ezcarlift, and other options as well, I decided to go with a full height scissor lift (Twin_Busch). Not saying this is the best choice for your scenario, but being able to stand under it makes a world of a difference when carrying out any work. And since fully height adjustable, makes it easy to adjust it to whatever height is comfortable for any job such as detailing. Really simple to drive up onto it and provides full access to everything. Can park over it too. I would’ve gone with a two-post lift but since this is a 2 car garage I have it in then would’ve been tough to park another car due to lack of space.

Call this guy at EZcarlift, he told me exactly what I needed.

The only things I needed to lift the Thee Wheeler successfully were the narrowest crossbeams and the extension plates to allow the pucks to be moved inboard enough to catch the frame points at the forward ends of the body. I did also have the ramp extensions fore and aft to allow the rear pucks to hit the points on the frame where the frame crossbeam extends close to the edge of the body giving the most stability and have it leave the BB area unobstructed.

I found it stable enough to start the vehicle on the lit, although not advisable.

Having a low ceiling garage the EZcarlift is ideal for me and I use it on all 3 of my Morgans as well as for snowblowers and other maintenance jobs as it is easily portable and maneuverable around the garage . I have the 1 inch pucks the moving castor wheel kit (very useful) and the workbench kit as my extras, haven't yet needed any of the other accessories. I too find the lift very versatile, stable with access to and from all sides and to all areas of the vehicles makes all jobs easy.

Thanks guys, much appreciated.
There's only so much one can do on the garage floor.
I'll give Boytchko a call.

EZ lift give very good access under the car, especially under the center if you need to replace fuel lines or add extra electrical lines fore and aft..

BTW, with Ohlins you can raise the car higher by cranking more tension into the springs. You can do it but it changes the steering geometry slightly so be careful.

Boytchko is the creator/owner of EZcarlift and a great gentleman to work with.

I wanted to thank you all for recommending EZCARLIFT.

I took the plunge, made the purchase, and no regrets. It is Extremely well made, easy to use, provides confidence when servicing vehicles. I needed to service my 3MW and Plus4, it just made sense. Previously I would jack up the Plus4 and place on jack stands, but since I now had to contend with the M3W, I got pretty nervous on how to go about lifting. The EZCarLift solved my concerns, plus now I can move the vehicle to a corner using the casters.
