Thanks and great work. Majority of the videos do not show on how to install the cable and pensioners at all. You did great by just explaining and pointing it out. That helped.
Glad it helped!
I've had the 9000 lb Atlas for a few years now. I patiently wait for my vehicles to break now, haha. Great lifts and customer service. But I will always be nervous under a lift no matter what.
Funny...when I get my which will be soon I'm going to purchase some safety jacks..love you comment
I use Titan bolts they are more efficient than the standard anchors. They are like a large blue tap cons with a higher tension strength. When using the bolts shown you don't have to worry about using a sledgehammer on them and it is the quickest way to get the job done. The top of the bolt are tapered so even if you do mushroom the bolt you can still get the nut on the bolt. if by some chance it did mushroom too far use your 4 1/2 inch zip grinder and cut it off and reshape the top of the bolt. It's not a big deal. The ones I have installed the 2 post baseplate lift are installed only with a precise psi bolt pattern installation. As I remember the psi on the bolts are around 150 to 175 psi. You want equal tension all the way around the base plate so you have a uniform tension installation. At the same time using the designated bolt pattern for tightening. I repeat this process to ensure a proper installation. You don't want one bolt working harder than another and so on. You're defeating the purpose of the bolts. You will end up with a less than satisfactory installation. It could cause problems later. I use ONE large screw box for my plastic spacers, assortment of washer sizes, case harden washers and split washers etc. That way you don't have stop and go search for your washers. That gets really old when searching if you have done it 50 times.
You should only use the torque wrench for the last 'click-click'. Run the nuts down tight-ish with a ratchet, then bring it home with the torque wrench. Don't mean to nitpick, your torque wrench will stay in cal longer.
Lift looks good. I envy you. I built the shop and ran out of budget. One day I'll get one.
you have to putt the rear legs off the lift all the way back allmost to the leafspring so its stable
I’m jealous 🤙 lifts gotta speed things up
When using a Hammer to drive in anchor move nut flush with top of bolt and no thread damaged, your bolts should have a bevel toward the top so it doesn’t mushroom, been installing them for 40 years never messed one up yet, just a fyi
So now that you've had it for a few months, what do you think? I'm thinking about getting one. Good video, by the way.
If you put the nut flush with the top of the bolt, then the hammer won't mushroom the bolt... but the rotary hammer in hammer mode is the way to go.
Just a little bit of advice if you are going to lift a pickup try to pull if forward a little more and put the rear lift pads on the rear spring hangers. Could verily easy tip back lifting it like that
I agree. As a toyota tech we would put a deadman jack in the rear after lifting a Tundra or other truck. We weren't opposed to repositioning a vehicle either. You can see the truck doing a wheelie on that lift at the end. If I walked to the back with my deadman jack and saw that I'd drop the vehicle quick and reposition it. He's got that overhead obstruction preventing him from going much further forward, but every inch counts. I'd say move it as far forward as he can get it and make a stand he can put under the rear somewhere to make it safer.
Yes definitely pull forward but he is using the correct lift points. The rear looks a lot lower because the leaf springs sag quite a bit. But it’s definitely at a little bit of an angle.
It's cute that you think it's "hot" 🤣
If you look closely during the accelerated part of the lifting, the far post moves. I hope that the anchors aren't pulling loose.
Na It does look like it but I don't actually think it moved like that, I think it was a camera move
i thought i was the only one that saw that til i saw your comment......
This guy must be from India, protect your feet
I was told by a lift installer that 99% of lifts are built in china and shipped to the us and the American lift company slaps a decal made in the usa or alike.
Probably some truth to that. More and more things seem to be that way.
what is the overall length of your garage and how far is the center of your lift to your garage door ??
curious to know that two
I'm looking to buy the same lift , how is it holding up ?
Nice one
Thanks for the help!
I'm all for comfort at home. But the big drilling in sandals is a bad habit to be in
I like to live life on the edge I guess.
@@AutoDetour so do your stock 5.4 rods 😆
😂 That’s correct.
His toes are made of steel.
Good dad
Nice family! I noticed that you have a sloped floor with a drain like me, I have about 1.5" of slope and I was thinking of welding extensions on the cover plate to reinforce it (I did not buy the lift yet) What do you think?
What model atlas lift is that? I have 10ft ceilings. Looking to do the same thing. Great videos watched the whole gramps series 👍
Thanks man! It’s the Atlas BP10000X
asre you mad, a 4 tonne hoist needs a 3x3 x 2 feet pad under each post, nice safety boots too
Was the pad poured for this lift?
Looks like you need a higher ceiling.
How high can you lift anything in that garage?
“Cade” and “Ashton”. Of course. And it’s 240v
Lift with your legs is key!
How high is the ceiling in your garage, 10-feet?
Would 12-foot ceiling be better???
Well duh…
Isn't your celling too low to even lift anything
whats the width of this lift?
Can you tell me how far back you mounted the lift from the front wall? How long is your garage? I have 22' 4" and curious how far back from the front wall I should mount. Thanks.
That is a cheap lift. Just a hint to professional mechanics who stand under lifted vehicles every day. Don’t work in a shop that buys cheap lifts. They don’t value your life.
