Thank so much for this excellent review. I’ve had my mind set on a single post lift and now I’m completely convinced. God bless you 🙏
You’re very welcome, glad it helped!
Probably just decided which car lift should I buy. Thanks guys for you informative video
Great video! Thanks!
Very Cool! it is quite large. Too bad the lift assembly doesn't fold up for residential garage storage, for those of us that desire a lift. Nice video! Thanks for the presentation!
It looks like the base should be wider in the car length direction? What if you guess the center of gravity wrong? I've worked as a mechanic with hoists for 35 years, and I want one of these for at home in my garage. I'm imagining building some hold down brackets to bolt it to the concrete for heavier vehicles though!
There is a marker on the lift that shows the center of gravity that the vehicle must be over. This is a great investment for your home shop no doubt. And yes you can make any brackets and bolt them down, we have thought about doing that.
You use jackpoints on the vehicle, no guess work necessary
i would put 5/8 plywood under it if on blacktop, those rollers may slowly sink just enough to throw balance off and would put those tall screw adjust posts under front and rear of heavy vehicles
Yes, we actually have small metal plates that we put under the wheels to help with any sinking issues.
I have a different brand in my home garage has been a game-changer
Do you like it
@@jonkastanek7367 Yes works pretty good, if I had more room I would have bought a 4 post lift. For what I like to do I also have sidexside and tractors. Mine is rated for 7,000lbs. I put a Ford f150 4x4 supercrew on it.
Ok cool what's the heaviest thing you lifted with it
@@jonkastanek7367 the SuperCrew
@@bucket1249 I'd like at least a 7000 lb version. What brand and model did you get?
Two questions. In the lowest setting, with a car on it, could you move it? And, can you park a car under it assuming high enough? Getting over the base could be a challenge I suppose... thanks for the video.
I dont think you'd want to move cars with it
You can’t move this once a vehicle is on it and you technically could park a very small car under it. Small like a triumph spitfire lol.
Nothing against any particular brand of these, but I would probably shy away from getting under ANY single-post lift. I enjoy living.
We all have our opinions and that’s fine. This thing has been great for us and our size shop. We were a little sketched about it at first but if you practice safety this thing is just about as good as any 2 or 4 post lift.
I am considering this lift for our shop. We have a small lip in our garage entrance about 1-1/2" tall. If you raise this up like a pallet jack, will it clear that big of a lip without scratching the crap out of the bottom?
That lip will be very to get over even with the palette jacked up. You would need 3 or more guys to help get it over.
Have you ever tried to roll a pallet jack ot a floor jack over a zip tie?
3 years later, is it still working? Any issues? Great video Thanks
Yep, still working good!
How is it working on a gas tank, is that center bar in the way of anything
That depends on where the tank is located. If it is more in the middle of the vehicle then yes this bar will be in the way, but more further in the back you will have no problems.
My question is how difficult it would be to get lowered cars onto this lift? Looks like you would have to build some wooden stepped ramps to clear both sides. Especially the side without the ramp.
yes, lowered cars are a pain. I would not recommend this unit for them.
Lowered cars shouldn't exist anyways.
@@brainwashedliberals hahaha. you do sound like a brainwashed liberal here.
@@brainwashedliberalsyou shouldn’t exist
Concept is good,reality is R&R tranny would be a real pain in the a$$.Those legs extending under the car make excellent trippers ,would be handy for brake work and some suspension jobs I am still a 4 poster.
Yes this would not be good for engine replacing or trans work. Brake work, oil changes, tune-ups, axles etc are what it’s good for.
was considering one of these until I saw the porosity and the undercut on all the welds...
They are alot better looking in person, we reviewed the entire thing before assembling. If it looked bad/broken we would have not trusted it and returned it. But it’s been fine after 2 years of use.
my garage is not tall enough so I wonder if i can keep it outside? is there any way to be able to kinds lay it down so i can at least store it and pop it outside to work?
We have left it outside with a tarp thrown over it. You can't lay it down it's to heavy to lift it back up.
@jerseyshoreautorepair1727 they said they will void the 5 yr warranty if it's outside. How long have you kept it outside? Also could 3 guys tilt the top to clear a residential garage door ? My garage is tall enough just not the door. Thoughts???
Can you leave it stationary and drive over and back up readily over it?
yes you can do that. But, if you have the room, pull in your vehicle and then push the lift under it. We don't have the room in the shop so every time we have to drive over the lift and have someone guide in.
Would you feel safe standing under a golf cart on this. No more than 1500 lbs. thinking about buying for my golf cart dealership.
yeah, should fit on it. the arms are pretty adjustable.
Would this lift work for Honda Talon UTV? or Polaris Razors?
Not sure if it would lift those, but our guess is yes. The arms are pretty adjustable.
I wonder how it is say, pulling a transmission out of a rear wheel drive car?
Never tried it but it should work fine. It has the same distance in the front as the rear.
So can you pump up manually and if so how many pumps?
You can pump up the lift manually to move it, you only need about 3-5 pumps and it can be moved.
Any updates on this lift since? 🙂
It's still holding up great. Had a 5900 pound jeep on it today, no problems!
@@jerseyshoreautorepair1727 that's awesome to hear, one of my project vehicles weigh 5800lbs and was skeptical of getting close to that max weight rating. Great looking piece. I have 4 post lifts currently and they are great for storage but suck for working on vehicles with (no access to the wheels, brakes, suspension without further using a bridge jack on top of the 4 post. I think this single post may be the best solution. Cheers!
How would yous feel with a jeep gladiator on it
It depends on the weight/length. Honestly, probably not.
Is it delivered in one piece or you have to build it?
It gets delivered and you do have to assemble it yourself. It took two of us to set it up.
Easy for brakes and stuffs but no good for exhausts, transmission drop engine swap since bars in the middle.
That depends on the vehicle. Smaller vehicles you do still do all that.
the curb weight is supposed to be 5200 lbs
True, but we’ve had 5900 lbs on it and it still worked alright. Just keep checking the lift
I bought the lift a month ago its ok
Yeah it depends on your situation.
I have a Colorado 2019, will it work?
I would say no. Any truck is hard to put on this.
Why is that? Because of lift arm adjustability? Just curious because I’ve been thinking about getting one and I have a 2022 Silverado 1500. Curb weight is 5100lbs or so, so it’s under max capacity. If the arms reached the frame, I’d just use some tall safety stands if I needed to raise it up high.
@@joem4746 it will be very wobbly with a long truck on it and will feel unsafe, trust me we tried that on a few trucks and we have had hundreds of different vehicles on the lift.
Hows this lift still treating you? Coul you possibly take out a RWD transmission. On a classic mustang for example? Do clutch? Thanks
It’s been great, still going strong! Yes you can do that on here but you do have the bottom support that could possibly be in the way. The front of the vehicle should hang over far enough to get it done.
@@jerseyshoreautorepair1727 Awesome. Thanks. I was looking at my cars. Looked like it should work. Been doing alot of reaserch. I have a "kwiklift ramp" and quickacks and want somthing that can go higher and make life alot easier and possibly replace the kwiklift ramp. Few more questions! Could you put the lift against a wall? I know you need space to pull the pallet handle but how much? Also my mustang is real low (autocross car) similar to corvette height, can you drive over this with low cars? I see you guys are moving it around. I want to leave it on one side of my garage. Sorry for the long message. MUCH APPRECIATE THE RESPONSE!
@@SenpaiMC7 That’s no problem at all! The low vehicle will most likely not be able to drive over it. If you have enough space in the garage, (like a two car garage) pull the lift to one side, drive the car in then slide the lift under the vehicle.
00:15 this thing rocks?? I hope it doesn't. scary!!
It’s very sturdy, only vehicles that are close to 6,000lb it shakes a little.
pick-up trucks ok?
If the truck is 6,000lb or under, then yes.
What about for changing transmission? Is the middle bar in the way
Luis Almeida we have not done any transmission replacements on this lift yet. The bar could be in the way depending on what vehicle it is. Smaller cars with the transmissions on the side (like civics) wouldn’t be a problem. Others could.
Can you park other car under neath?
Something very small like an MG midget. But nothing like any cars of today.
I see problems with a lot of car doors opening.
Only on the passenger side. The driver side is fine.
Can I use it for a toyota tundra?
it depends on the weight and how the frame is setup
Can a guy store a vehicle under this unit safely?
You can but it would have to be a low car.

このリフトをお勧めします！
Heck no. That base is too narrow.
From the video it does look too narrow but it's really not when you see it in person. We have had trucks that weight just about 6,000 and even one that was 6,100 lb.
I don't think I can trust that shit
I know from seeing it on video it might feel like that but in person you would be surprised at how stable it is.
