Rotisserie question.
« on: December 17, 2006 - 08:13:27 AM »
I'm just curious about something. It looks like a lot of you guys use/have used a rotisserie. Every time I have seen a car on one, it is just the bare body, nothing else. My question is this: Does everything have to be taken off the car to use a rotisserie? I realize that the engine should be out because of fluids, but what if you just want to  replace front floorpans, or fix a frame rail, or just detail the underneath. Is it a strength vs weight issue?

No, I wouldn't think so. It's just that the people who use them are usually working with a car that is in worse shape than your's seems to be.

Since I'm going to need to do some work on the underside of several cars, I'm debating on whether to get a rotisserie, a 4-post lift, or a car tilter. I suppose the lift would be the most versatile, but it's also the most expensive. Also, I hate working overhead, whether it's standing up, or on your back.
