[QUOTE="1BROWNWRENCH, post: 1418227, member: 30128"] All risks can be managed to an acceptable level with skill and training. Manufacturers manage their risks by practicing corporate CYA and gear things toward the lowest common denominator. I am not aware of any solutions to using 2 pair of jack stands that UPS is willing to pay for or is willing to accept the risks of, which are even higher. Having used 4 post lifts in the past, I can confidently say these are something we will never get. Pits are another liability they won't tolerate. A lot of buildings Automotive operates in don't even have adequate overhead to operate a lift. In short, we mechanics are skilled and experienced enough that 4 stands in use at the same time is not a significant risk and the only real option to carry out an effective PMI. [/QUOTE]
