Positioning Tilt Lift Under Vehicle
1. Ensure vehicle is positioned on a dry, oil & grease free, level concrete surface capable of
supporting the weight of the Lift with a vehicle
2. Before using Tilt Lift, always put vehicle in Park and set Emergency Brake.
3. Position the Tilt Lift under vehicle closest to front wheels by rolling the Lift under vehicle.

Basic Vehicle Layout Positions
A. Front Engine / Front Wheel Drive
- recommended to position iDEAL Tilt Lift under vehicle so that the
gear boxes are positioned about 4
” behind the front wheels.
B. Front Engine / Rear Wheel Drive
- recommended to position the iDEAL Tilt Lift under vehicle so that
the gear boxes are positioned about 12
” behind the front wheels.
C. Rear Engine / Rear Wheel Drive
- recommended to position the iDEAL Tilt Lift under vehicle with gear
boxes facing towards rear wheels so that the gear boxes are positioned about 4
” from the back wheels.
Recommendations noted above should be used as a ‘base-line’ for the iDEAL Tilt Lift
placement. You may need to adjust the lift’s position ‘front or back’ an inch or two in order
to obtain easy vehicle tilting. Once the best balance placement for the lift & vehicle has
been established, it is recommended to mark the underside of vehicle for future usage.
For Use Only with Unibody Constructed Vehicles with Maximum Chassis Width of 61” &
Minimum Chassis Width of 48”. Failure may result in Vehicle and/or Lift Damage.
