If they are Yale 36volt lifts, let me know. I used to work on a bunch of them and could give ya a couple more ideas that will stump them!

It wasn't really "in the shop" but one of the guys in my autobody class passed out at a party one night. In his car. We shrink wrapped the entire thing... and not like food wrap either. Shrink wrap that they use when shipping pallets! It was a hoot watching him try to get out in the morning! Until he found his keys and rolled down the window.

Tipid coach's Ranger all the way! underneath and everywhere, no place untipid'!

Was at the count of a dealership, was wearin a formal shirt and clean jeans (just felt like wearin somethin nice for the day), and dad was outside with the dealer getting some paper work done to get the truck fixed. I am standin there next to the counter and a mechanic walks in and calls me Jim (a Dealer aparently, he must have been new and thought I was him, the dealers wore the same attire as I did).

"Jim, can I see you for a moment?" I played along since I was bored.
"yeah, what do you need"
"I need this" He shows me a can of oil.
"You should not use that oil damnit! Use 1080p!" (a HD definition setting)
"oh, sorry sir, where did we put that exactly?"
"try back there" I pointed to the back of a random garage, the FARTHEST garage, and he went over to it and was looking around.

I ran to the truck and locked myself in it and ducked down, he was still lookin 20 minutes later when we left!!

Not sure the voltage but they are Crowns this is one of the old ones, we have been getting them replaced buy new ones they look exactly the same but they are a bit more powerful and faster there a hair less than 5300 lbs.:

heres is the new ones ours don't have the cosmetic pieces over the battery it's faster to change the battery without'em. and everything about speed here.

yea those are probably 36volters. check just under the back of seat there may be a 2 or 3 wire plug there, that's for a seat pressure sensor. unplug it and the lift will think there isn't anyone in the seat and wont move. also check the floor boards under where their feet would be, should have a small cut out to lift it up. you'll see a "master cylinder" for the brakes, unplug the sensor! it won't go anywhere because there is an "issue" with the brakes!

I used to mess with the dock guys all the time where I used to work, got to love those electric fork lifts!

While I was in the AF, we had a FNG go get a reel of flightline and a can of dial tone. I was in telephone maintenance. He spent the better part of 2 hrs looking before we had to tell him it was a joke. Needless to say he was an idiot.

In one day we managed to get one guy to look for a yard of flightline, a bucket of prop wash, and we almost got him to ask our Command Master Chief for a PU-55-Y form.

The best one, though, is to tell them that the AO's buy everyone donuts on thursday, and they need to go pick them up.

Here's a good one that was harmless (aside from making me look stupid and frying my nerves for a bit.

I used to work for a landscaping company that had a maintaince contract for a big condo complex, including the pod area with rocks along the road.

One day, I'm the driver for the truck & equipment trailer. We get to the pond and I park the trailer with the side a few feet away from one of these big rocks. We get out, do the area, and get ready to move on.

As I pull the truck forward, I hear this loud BANG!!!!! You have never seen a 250-lb guy fly out of a truck so fast. The two other people on my crew has placed a smaller plastic water bottle under the wheel (with the cap screwed on) on the passenger side rear. The weight of the truck (an F-350 dually dump truck) caused the bottle to blow.

I was pissed at them, but being one to take a joke, I did realize what a good one it was.

I work at an auto parts store and this greeted me one evening as I was leaving.

In school one summer I got done with my project car 3 full days ahead of everyone else and I spent 2 of them messing with people and the 3rd helping everyone figure out what had happened.

What did i do... lemme think...


Flipped plug wires around so it would diesel, unplugged crank sensors, flipped one guy's vac lines at his climate control head so that the mode selector controlled the temp and the temp selector controlled the blower position.... flipped the wires around so that the OBDII connector was "missing", duct tape around the converter pipes.



Then at work....tape over the sights of the alignment heads, bubble wrap under the wheels of cars, one guy hit me with a few airsoft pellets out of the blow gun attached to shop air, that almost broke the skin at 10 feet, through my shirt. Huge red welts and awesome bruises.

Had a guy in my A/C class that I just couldn't stand. He hooked up a scan tool, this one

to a Chrysler 300 and headed to the john. I set the horn to "on" and then walked away. He didn't pay attention during class on how to use the thing and couldn't get it turned off.

OWNED!!


When I was in the shop, I was talking about the truck's spare and Brad turns to me "where are the donuts, you said you would bring some".
