Truly helpful since I’m actively looking at both. Thanks for the info.

Thanks for doing such a great job! The way reviews are supposed to be done. Present the facts, and pros & cons for different uses.

[@JohnEngel]

Thank you so much for that. :)

hi john, great job. as a parking lifts suppliers, i have to say all the two lifts were from China. that why it is hard for them to control the painting quality,and so on. about the weight capacity, nearly similar, cause all of them use 5mm thickness plate as runways. very surprised about their price. cause in China, only around US$1200. the sea freight is about $200. the related cost in your sea port is about $500 maxim think. find a truck to pick it to your home. it is easier to install by yourself.

[@JohnEngel]

Thank you so much. Great info.

I have a new poured 6 inch thick 4000 psi concrete floor...should be fine as manufacturers mention only need 4 inch slab

[@JohnEngel]

@@1636patriot that should be fine.

I’d like to see u go to a couple of buddies houses and give a review on more brands of 4-post lifts.

[@JohnEngel]

That a great idea. Thank you.

[@rdollie1]

I've been planning on getting a lift for a couple of years and after reading all I could, I would stick with Advantage lifts. Vastly superior materials quality and safety design. A but more than these, but you get your money's worth!

[@JohnEngel]

I’ll have to look into them. Thank you.

[@blueduster74]

Is one made here and one in china.

[@JohnEngel]

@@blueduster74 unfortunately, not all of Benpaks are made in the USA. They are ansi certified, where the other one is not.

Firstly, to PROPERLY bolt either one down the stanchions must be anchored into a piling cap with a depth no less than 12" for proper structural support. It's these lil DETAILS that folks do not take into consideration cause most garage floor pads are 4" of concrete and are NOT Structurally rated. Afixing a lift on this surface is simply a disaster waiting to happen. For instance, Cracked floors (weakening the area entirely), these cracks can splinter all the way into the foundational footer and your beautiful home is now an expensive structural repair disaster. AND the bottom of the stanchion supports are supposed to extend out encompassing the entire underside as a BASE Column Fix point. The entire column support and base support can be poured at one time, allowed to cure for three days before patching the floor and maybe epoxying the floor but full structural strength is not achieved for 30 days. And the entire column must be reinforced with rebar steel embedded in it.

[@JohnEngel]

While I don’t have any information that is this detailed, neither set of instructions for the lifts mentioned what you have stated.

[@anonimous2451]

@@JohnEngel So you really think that someone is gonna spell out in detail EVERYTHING REQUIRED to install the lifts properly? Your foolish. They sold it to you and its up to YOU to know what is required.

[@JohnEngel]

@@anonimous2451 I’m not saying you are right or wrong. Don’t get too upset over a comment on YT. :)

[@rdollie1]

Most of the 4 post designs I read up on say you don't need to bolt them down. That said, the design of these two with mechanism moving inside a channel would make me nervous, and I'd have to bolt it down. If you buy a more robust design where the mechanism rides on the outside of all 4 sides of the columns, I think you can get away w/o bolting them down (especially since you're talking about around 20 lbs/sq inch on the concrete.)

@@rdollie1 great points.
