My TP-9 is missing the original Base.
The base is used as a template for setting up.
I need to know the width apart from the back side of each column.
Original manual shows 144-3/4" for the tabs at the outside edge of the base.
But I do not know how long those tabs are.
Since this lift uses chains I have less leeway for error.
I know this is really reaching, but they sold a lot of these and I could use some good luck.
I can make a new base once I know this dimension.
If I must be a one-man PC free zone, so be it!

For the Benwil TP-9 or TP-7 lift, the manual shows the tabs at 144-3/4" apart. If you need the tab length, try contacting Benwil directly or a lift technician for precise dimensions. Alternatively, connect with other lift owners through forums for possible measurements.

Problem is that Benwil is long out of business.
