In my young years as a mechanic , i tried to lift a f250 double wheel once...it did lift...but felt down from about a 2 feet high back on his wheel...Scary..no damage but it was the only time..Nevertheless , i used to lift econoline just like that all day long and never had any problem...Do my own inspection of my lift just to make sure that it is up to my standard of security. Sometime you see car that are leaning toward one side...Not only not balanced but not leveled...Seen a car flipped once
This is a "Versymetric" lift...It will do the trucks and vans but the vehicle MUST be centered on the lift. You CANNOT put these larger vehicles on the lift asymmetrically. Also, the lift owner has probably not done any inspections. Wedge anchors should be tightened every 30 days with a torque wrench to specs. Never use an impact!!! I have been installing and repairing lifts and shop equipment for 26 years....we see all kinds of techs who fail to lift the vehicle properly

Please check my video on RAKKAPS. If you are an auto tech and you worked with a car lift you'll want some of these. I use them whenever a car goes up for service in my shop. Thanks Bob
I saw the show with this recovery on a couple of times. I was surprised that they got the van off without doing a lot of damage. Most wrecker services I have seen don't do a lot of training. I had my truck towed because of an electrical problem a few years ago. The wrecker driver said he had been doing it a year, and he had the most seniority.
shoulda bought a rotary lift, or better yet a symmetric lift thats rated for the weight of the van

How extremely dangerous.... What were they ever thinking lifting a heavy vehicle like that on a hoist like that. Down right negligent.

Tighten concrete anchors daily, by hand, not with impact wrenches. Asymmetric lifts are not designed for contractors vehicles.
