Wasn't sure where to post this but it's "Light Commercial" I guess, Right?

After getting back into model cars I found a few things I started years ago... here's one of them I plan to finish soon:

I'd originally planned to power the lift with a screw-drive but couldn't find a motor slow enough.

Handrails, steps and safety updates soon,

Oh and a decent set of wheels

Nice and as for the motor you could wire in a voltage restrictor. I've found that basicaly gives it the efect of dead battery on the motor, making it wind slower

That looks awesome....Never thought of doing one of these.....And the dust and grime looks just like it came straight from the rental place.....This is cool....

That looks really good! ... but I hate those things. Every time I told a customer to get a bucket so I could inspect their trusses they would come up with one of those. It's up and down for a short section then move. With a bucket I can do almost the whole thing with one lift. ... and, i don't like heights! Scissor lifts just don't feel safe but I will go anywhere in a bucket, despite how much they jiggle ... go figure.
