Nice video, first one I have seen taking one down. Regarding the fluid, since this is supposed to be changed every 12 months anyway, I would have just drained the system. In any case, good job! I hope you post a video of it going back together so we can see this nice lift back in action...
Thanx for the video. I just did this this week. Big differences.. I don't have a 5 bay complex, so it was a jig saw puzzle staging all the removed parts. Just like assembly, I am a 1 man operation, so I had to improvise techniques to be able to do it. 2nd part of teh jig saw puzzle.. loading it all on my trailer.. Next week re-assemble it in my "bigger" pole barn 450 miles away.
I know the feeling of the jig saw. We took it out of this massive warehouse space and transported it 200 miles to assemble it in a 2 car garage with a 9 foot ceiling with only 8 feet of clearance because of a support beam down the middle. The truck was barely able to fit backing up the garage door due to driveway space. We made it work but man it was a tight fit. Definitely miss the huge amount of space we used to have for it. I can't imagine doing it alone that's crazy, be safe man!
@@thediygrunt Crazy, Yeah... Takes me 3-4 times as long as 2 people, but I 'carefully' rig (lift) pretty much everything, took a whole day to unload it, another whole day to get 90% so it is almost done, just have to refill the hydraulic fluid w/ new, install the "lock releases", make the adjustments and roll it to it's new location.. The good news the new pole barn is 2X the size of the old, however the "old" pole barn had a jib crane, that was quite handy. it was a 450 mile trip to get it here, my 15 YO truck just hammered away..

Thanks for the video! The only video I have seen that covers disassembly.
I get to do this, this weekend. Exciting. Thanks for the video.

What jack is that in the center of the lift?
