    We purchase laptop computers and many components for greater than scrap value. We offer a shipping reimbursement program.replies

    How high do you need to lift? If it's not a lot, some people out here have setups like this:



    A cheap farm tractor can be had for around $3000, and a welding shop can make a set of forks for a couple of hundred dollars. It may be an option to look into. The most important thing if you go this route is to make sure to add balast to the front of the tractor.

    Of course, put stands under the car to support it- if something slips and the car falls, it could easily kill you.
