REKIII Posted December 14, 2015 Report Share Posted December 14, 2015 I Don't know, but I installed this over the weekend. 1 man job. Not powered yet. Been a dream of mine since I was about 16 to have my own lift. Getting the shed cleaned up for electric, lights, big outlet drops to be run. Getting much closer to functional!

patsbimmer1 Posted December 14, 2015 Report Share Posted December 14, 2015 Awesome! Who's the manufacturer? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
REKIII Posted December 14, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 14, 2015 Not quite sure, got it in a package deal from my uncle. He bought two 4 post lifts, so I got this one at cost with free shipping. I'll look through the paperwork to find the details. Probably chinese junk, but I'm not a commercial shop so it should be fine for what I'm doing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patsbimmer1 Posted December 14, 2015 Report Share Posted December 14, 2015 Yea, it looks like one of the no name lifts. As long as you maintain it then you should be fine for what your using it for. Make sure it's always on the locks and you'll stay safe! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
REKIII Posted December 14, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 14, 2015 It's rated at 9000lbs, and my car is at best half that. My truck tops out around 6K, so unless I get really crazy, I don't think I can break it. The hydraulics may go, but it should be easy enough to rebuild.

patsbimmer1 Posted December 14, 2015 Report Share Posted December 14, 2015 It's the pulleys and the cables that tend to go out. The motor for the hydraulic unit may but that's not very common. Just keep it on the locks when you've got something on it and you'll prevent a lot of that stress. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
REKIII Posted December 14, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 14, 2015 I do that as common practice when I use a lift anyway, raise to the desired height, then let it down to put the weight on the locks. Thanks for the tips. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jdesign Posted December 18, 2015 Report Share Posted December 18, 2015 The drift valves tend to fail if you dont keep it on the locks all the time. Looks to be about the same lift I have. I must say, your space looks killer, congrats. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
