Thermal Imager: kit.com/debossgarage/dg-toolbox/milwaukee-m12-2258-2 What's your favorite, 2 post or 4 post hoist? It's not that I don't like 2 post, it's because I needed a 4 post more. With the cab coming on and off so much on the C10, it was time for a twofer.
I have off shore 9000. lb two point and don't know how I got anything done with out it. Admit I was bit Leary first couple time I used it but further investigation and it identical to an Atlas sold in Calgary.
As you love your heavy duty smart phones. You might as well get a Cat S61 as it's got a thermal imaging camera built in. It also has a VOX sensor and a laser distance built in.
In industry, we call those Flirs. Or thermal imaging cameras. Because what we refer to as _heat guns_ are literally guns, that blow heat. Like a hair dryer on steroids.
Glad you mentioned the floor thickness. A neighbor who works at a dealership told me they discovered the floor was not poured thick enough and the bolts started pulling out. The solution was to remove each lift, cut the floor an pour a new footing. Fortunately the problem was noticed before someone got hurt.
Four post all the way! I have a 12000 pound Ford-Smith four post and it’s as solid as a rock. It’s a no brainer putting a vehicle on it. It also has two7000 pound rolling jacks, so wheel work isn’t a problem. Plus as a bonus it becomes a really long work table when there are no cars on it.
I enjoy your videos, this one holds memories from helping install them in New York City area. Some old buildings had from no floor to black top and a skim of cement. The lifts demanded a good 5-6 inch floor. When I drilled a few inches before the bit sunk fast my boss would lose his mind. This was after the sales guy was supposed to sink a test hole. Keep up the good videos and say hi to the cat.
I bought a Rotary, 9,000#, two-post, asymmetric lift 20 years ago for my home shop. Still going strong and can’t imagine not having it. It’s pretty handy for doing many things that would be impossible with a four-post.
I live in England and I use chalk lines all the time being a sparky. Who has NEVER heard of a chalk line?! It's like explaining to someone what a level is! 🤦🏻♂️
I worked at a shop once where the manager and his kid installed a couple twin posts over the course of a weekend. A few weeks later I thought I was losing my mind, until I stepped out from under the car and realized it was swaying back and forth. I lowered it as quickly as it could, looked down, and noticed all of the anchor pin nuts weren't even touching the plates on the floor!! Needless to say, I quit that job not long after that. Moral of the story is, if you don't know what you're doing, pay someone who does do it for you.
I fix car lifts on the day job. Tips - screw lifts are to be avoided if you dont know what to look for (ie, load nut wear). Common failures on inspections are this and arm locks - the locks that keep the lift arms from moving (so you can swing them under the car) wear out and you can end up with a vehicle creeping around when you reef on wheel bolts/hub nuts. Not good. Also arm extension stops - if the arm extensions fall onto the floor when you pull them out all the way then get that fixed, seen cars come down this way. Same with threads on lift pads if they unscrew up and down, make sure the threads top out and you cand unscrew the pad all the way. And do make sure the locks click (on all posts!) when you lift the lift. Keep the innards of the lift filthy with lube and it should keep going. Rotary make great 2posts, shame about the import taxes. Rich - You thought about a short scissor, maybe something flush fit with the floor? :P Your balance cables on that 2post still look a little loose, get them nice and tight so both carriges lift off the floor at exactly the same time.
For lighting on that 2-post hoist, you could mount a tube light on either side of the posts. I that on mine and works like a charm. And since you are already running power to the TL's, you might as well fit a power outlet on either post. But then, you mostly use your Milwaukee cordless stuff so you could probably ignore that last suggestion :)
I bought my two post used. It came out of the Walmart service center that was upgradeing their equipment. Best purchase in my life just go with a quality brand and you won't go wrong
Great video. 7k hoist is just fine. They work in a safety factor. So that lift a 7k will lift 10500lbs before you need to consider failure. Not to say you will. I have an 8020 wheeltronic rated for 8000 I have had 12000 dodge dually on it with no problems and my lift is 30 years old. Point is at 7000 lbs your going to be fine.
@gaurav vij yes that is true , normally if I'm worried about that I'll put silicone in before thr anchor to seal it off and still gives the option to hammer the anchor though
first name last name And if you need to have an identical line above the floor, use music wire. Mount music wire on a stable stand, pull tight. Then use an accurate plum bob, laser level turned vertical, or a very good level. If you have access to a transit use that and a scale with small deviations. If not you can use a scale and get very very close, but probably within .010-.015” at 3 to 4 feet above the line on the floor. Remember the floor may not be level. I have used a chalk line for layouts, and they have been wrong, due to slope, or change of elevation in the floor. If the floor is not level, this what I have done for many years. (This is normally done for items the really need to be level, or have a long distance between anchor points. Example... Medium vertical milling machines, lathes, horizontal milling machines (boring mills), frame racks around 4 post lifts, and actually works easily with 4 post lifts also.) Lay out 2 side of the items corners or mounting locations, use the most important ones. Set up the music wire exactly over the chalk line, at the highest point. Pull the music wire tight and level, again exactly over the chalk lines. Do this for the second side. Now you will have a reference that is a flat plane from the highest point. Take all dimensions for these 2 lines of music wire. This will get you an exact rectangle, or what ever shape need from the layout, in a flat plane. Transfer the locations to the floor for all holes or other dimensioned items. And this can be used to get spacers that are really close to making the entire unit nearly perfectly flat, and all holes line up. Some things, or machines, only give you a hole the is 1/32 oversize or even worse 1/64, and make it tough to hit the location if not measuring on a flat plane. Adjustable leveling jack mounts work best for things like mills or tooling machinery, and plates or shims for other non critical machines. Use brass or similar spacers instead of steel. Concrete wicks moisture up and into objects directly on floor, unless vapor barrier is used. Steel spacers will change in size when rusted. And your tool, machine, or large 30K 4 post lift is not level. And must be redone. On a lift most people use steel washers or the proper shims, but normally made of steel. You can get the same things in brass for lifts and such, which is highly recommended some by the higher end manufacturers, or heavier lifts. These don’t rust, and change how level it is. Would like to hear comments about you think, or what you have done.. And I have found the old school super hold Aqua Net last the longest on most floors. It is resembles nearly a lacquer...
The only thing I don't like about a two post is that the car can become a bit wobbly if you remove weight, IE dropping a differential. It's usually not a problem but it can be, especially if you're working on a shell.
To be fair we have put a Chinese one up because that’s what we could afford and we are really pleased with it. It’s made really over the top and it has strong locks on it (2 post) it has never caused any concern at all, the only mod we did was to restrict the hydraulic return as it came down a bit to fast for our liking. Can’t complain about the function of it though
Perhaps you could do a video on what brands of hoists you would recommend. I know that as a person who is looking at buying one it would be reassuring to know that I'm getting a quality product. I'm sure I am not alone on this. Thanks!
Ford Smith, Rotory, Lift master, Ammco, Snap-on are all good brands. Stay away from Chinese. Some are great and some are garbage and its hard to tell which is which.
Rich, if you ever need anything from the US I could definitely get it for you with out a duty on it. I can just claim its my used items coming with me that is going where im staying at. Also hydro is not another word for electric... Lol
I dunno what parts of Europe your pals came from,but in the Uk we've been using chalk lines for ever ! Mind you, in Holland I saw guys rig construction using little string line bobbins like i suppose my great great grandpa must have had !
7:54 those European friends of yours are mechanics or construction workers too or they work in the office? Because I can't imagine anyone on this planet not knowing about this most basic of tools!!🤣 And I'm from the Netherlands.
I'm from Europe. I do tiling. No chalk line, no tiling floors. We use a lot of chalk for shopping center floors for example. Also for that you would use 30M line and a proper geared box for the line. I do know what chalk line is. Honest!
2 things. 1) I worked in the nuclear field and I can tell you the they will NEVER pass any anchors that are not drilled 90* from the surface they are going into. Reason being it puts uneven pressure on the bolt. It's strength is tested by a straight on pull. Never a bend. 2) I am not sure, but I don't think you "have to" bolt down a 4 post lift. My buddies alignment lift is not bolted down nor is my other buddy's 10K 4-post lift. In fact, we have moved that lift twice. I think I would check with the maker. Hell, some of the cheaper 4-post lifts come with wheels!!! Meant to ask, don't you have ANSI in Canada? Or something like it?? Did I see a BB Mopar sitting near the back wall???
Stack 'em up. I know you will finish the Merc before Project Binky but that's not a fair comparison. Is it going to be next summer when we see the Merc and the Goat on the road? I'll happily watch whatever you put out in the meantime.
Just a suggestion sir for the 4 post lift. Why not make bigger plates that bolt to the feet and then epoxy them to the concrete floor rather than taking a chance of ruining a section of your in floor heating ? The 4 post isn't as critical about being anchored down as the 2 post.
you see models and makes of vehicles, while I see heaps of needlessly over-complicated garbage that breaks down far too often, costs a ton and requires endless amounts to be spent on tools and service data.............................
over the years I've worked on enough domestic and foreign brands both, to know they're all pains in the arse-tube and not a single vehicle anywhere near perfect. and getting worse by the year....
My understanding is that a 2 post is fine for a full size long bed truck, but it is recommended to put some kind of jack under the hitch for stability. Any opinions? Getting ready to buy a two post and planning to use it for suspension work on my Cummins Ram and my M1009.
Great timing on this video Rich! Getting ready to install a twofer in my shop. Floor was already poured though. Got a 10k lift, no name, brand new on a farm auction. How thick should floor be? If not thick enough, 1in steel plates for added strength?
www.gamma.nl/assortiment/gamma-slaglijnmolen-30-meter/p/B400833 also called slaglijn or spatlijn or krijtlijner. Gamma is the one of the biggest DIY stores here. Can also use it as plumb bob I believe it's called in english? For setting out vertical lines. It's 2 post for me. I volunteer at a rallycross track here. We do a lot of drive style training, drifting break tests, skid pan etc to make money for our club. We use a lot of tires, so most we do is changing wheels. We do the odd exhaust change, some precision wheel alignment with big hammers etc. It's Volvo 343 we use for the rougher stuff, BMW 1 series and Ford (sorry) Fiesta for the less dirty and less rougher stuff. So for wheel changing, 2 posts is the easiest. c1.staticflickr.com/1/849/41605139791_e332466e64_c.jpg A Ford (sorry again) RST junior class rallycross car during technical inspection by our Koni 2 post.
Rich what's the thickness of cement I should pour when i start building my garage in my backyard in Windsor for a hoist Also I want that 86 90 dodge grill as a spare for my 88 W150
I am getting a used 14000 # 4 post lift. Do you think it would work to mount the 4 post legs on some 4 ft sq X 1/2 inch thick flat plate pieces and not attach it to the slab with anchors bolts? I could also brace the legs up like a jack stand. I would like to be able to move the lift if needed. I know they make 9000 # 4 post lifts with caster kits to move them.
Isn’t there a door in front and back of the 4 point hoist? Why didn’t you just turn the 4 point around and it’ll be easier and straight instead of at an angle?
I too am surprised that you had to make a video about a chalk line, since I have used them probably before you were born.. they have been around for eons. lol
Harold Bevins yeah, baffling comment, we have been using chalk lines probably longer than Canada has existed and pretty much every diy shop sells them.
and I'm not a Chinese fan,,,but American made is not what it used to be,,those days are long gone,,,and all lifts have to go through inspection and certification, I have a Aplus 10,000 pound, double S beem construction and I'm sorry but I can see it's much better quality then any other I've seen, including yours.
Well I saw something sketchy in your video, you used 4" anchors, new lifts normally come with 8" anchors, so I would not under any circumstance walk under any load on that lift, even if it is made in the "peoples republic of Canada"
Human error and stupidity is always a factory in safety. No matter the type of lift, accidents happen. If you’re unsure or it looks sketchy, put it down and get it checked out. No one wants to see their friend mangled because of a simple accident
If there are tariffs it's because the USA imposed them. That idiot Trump imposed tariffs on Chinese goods incoming but was too stupid to realise that it was the American people who had to pay them.
I don't think you can casually say..."The floor is loaded with tubing because we use geothermal heat which keeps things toasty," without knowing we would say... "REALLY? WHERE'S THAT VIDEO!!" So either direct me to the title of the one I missed, or make it...please.
@@DEBOSSGARAGE Glad I didn't miss a video. looking forward to seeing the design, pump, field, temperature gauges, and FLIR video. It seems like a great idea, and your, for sure, the person who knows. Winter is here, it is a good time for it.
Are Europeans still living in the Dark Ages? Chalk lines have been in America since the dawn of time... I have my dad's which is from the 1930s, I think.
Funny, I built my house and shop, along with about 30 other buildings in the neighborhood. I would consider myself somewhat of a carpenter. Check out our barn build for my brother on our channel
DEBOSS GARAGE best learn the correct terminology if you fancy urself a wood tick, just cuz I turn wrenches I don’t consider myself a mechanic. Level is horizontal like say the base plate of ur 2 post lift, plumb is something standing vertical like the 2 posts of ur 2 post lift

I think two post lifts are the most versatile. If I was storing vehicles, I would rather have a four post.

I've got a Rotary in my shop. It came out of a Ford dealership. Dealer went out of business after 70 years. Auctioned everything off.
Chalk line tech tip use hairspray on the chalk line to make it last longer
What about my paycheque, will it work on that?
For lighting on that 2-post hoist, you could mount a tube light on either side of the posts. I that on mine and works like a charm. And since you are already running power to the TL's, you might as well fit a power outlet on either post.

In a pinch you can use a chalk line as a plumb bob too
Will be nice for the work flow situation as well, in case you need to leave something hang for whatever reason... great days to ya !
We most definitely have and use chalk lines in the UK.
Learn something new everyday, thought everyone knew what a chalk line was.
My favorite hoist is a 4 post I do alot of heavy duty trucks
should also run your ceiling fans in the winter time at a low setting. Will circulate hot air down
Great video. 7k hoist is just fine. They work in a safety factor. So that lift a 7k will lift 10500lbs before you need to consider failure. Not to say you will. I have an 8020 wheeltronic rated for 8000 I have had 12000 dodge dually on it with no problems and my lift is 30 years old. Point is at 7000 lbs your going to be fine.
Yep, there is always a huge gap between working load vs failure load.
i always drill my concrete anchors all the way though the concrete because if you mess up you can hammer them into the dirt and try again
You can get corrosion this way tho
@gaurav vij yes that is true , normally if I'm worried about that I'll put silicone in before thr anchor to seal it off and still gives the option to hammer the anchor though
Thanks for the info on the sleeved anchor bolts. I have a concrete slab in the backyard and was curious how to secure a shed im building next year

Nice upgrade.

It's 2 post for me. I volunteer at a rallycross track here. We do a lot of drive style training, drifting break tests, skid pan etc to make money for our club. We use a lot of tires, so most we do is changing wheels. We do the odd exhaust change, some precision wheel alignment with big hammers etc. It's Volvo 343 we use for the rougher stuff, BMW 1 series and Ford (sorry) Fiesta for the less dirty and less rougher stuff. So for wheel changing, 2 posts is the easiest.

Those anchors seem pretty short for that application....
Debose quick question do you think the set and size of your shop would be a good for a farm or agricultural equipment (combines and bigger tractors)?
best case Ontario
Rich what's the thickness of cement I should pour when i start building my garage in my backyard in Windsor for a hoist Also I want that 86 90 dodge grill as a spare for my 88 W150
I would go 8" minimum.
I am getting a used 14000 # 4 post lift. Do you think it would work to mount the 4 post legs on some 4 ft sq X 1/2 inch thick flat plate pieces and not attach it to the slab with anchors bolts? I could also brace the legs up like a jack stand. I would like to be able to move the lift if needed. I know they make 9000 # 4 post lifts with caster kits to move them.
Do you really even need to bolt the 4 post down to the floor? Maybe you can wait until you put a few vehicles on it to figure out the best angle.
That's the plan. I feel better knowing its bolted. I found myself reefing pretty hard sometimes and like to know its not coming over
kENNETH That sure sounds like geothermal. Just pointed that out.
Isn’t there a door in front and back of the 4 point hoist? Why didn’t you just turn the 4 point around and it’ll be easier and straight instead of at an angle?
I won't be using that back door for a while. Too much stuff around back
DEBOSS GARAGE seems legit.
What do those europians use in place of a chalk line then?
Did you buy it from pug
I too am surprised that you had to make a video about a chalk line, since I have used them probably before you were born.. they have been around for eons. lol
Harold Bevins yeah, baffling comment, we have been using chalk lines probably longer than Canada has existed and pretty much every diy shop sells them.
If Europe doesn't have chalk lines, what do they have?
Freakin Laser beams!
I assure you, we have chalk-lines in Europe and the UK. Your friends must lead very sheltered lives lmao.
True, it's a normal tool here in Sweden to!
Pretty sure you are right, in Denmark its common too.. Think the friends must have come from the old eastblock cuntrys.
@@ThaMan100982 In Eastern Europe you don't chalk line but line chalks you...
@@ZerokillerOppel1
Depends on witch mafia family you piss off
Rich, I have a snap on 8000 lb 2 post I want to put in my garage. It has 5 inch thick concrete but don't know if it's reinforced. Any recommendations?
Nepabadhabit - borrow a metal detector, and look for patterns of hits in the floor.
Good idea-thanks
TL;DW :
Step 1 : RTFM
Step 2 : ???
Step 3 : Profit !
(Only South Park viewers will get that one ;) )
First!! Love your vids rich!!
and I'm not a Chinese fan,,,but American made is not what it used to be,,those days are long gone,,,and all lifts have to go through inspection and certification, I have a Aplus 10,000 pound, double S beem construction and I'm sorry but I can see it's much better quality then any other I've seen, including yours.
step one, make sure you have thick and strong enough concrete to be safe lol
I want a 2 post lift, in my driveway..
Remember kids don't text and rotary hammer drill at the same time! Radiant floor line lives matter!
ahh, the downside of radiant floor heat =p
Thats a wedge not a sleeve anchor
truett hester 8
He'd better used chemical anchors. Those won't budge for sure!
What’re the dimensions on your shop?
48'x64'x16'
"P L it"!? Plumb and Level?
GTO!!! 😍
I wouldn't work under any lift only rated at 7000 lbs...
You didn't get an unscheduled shower in this video lol
Lost some footage and had to re-shoot the ending right before church!
What part of Europe doesn't know what a chalk line? I know UK, Greece, Germany, Netherlands and France do. But maybe they prefer laser levels.
norway knows them pretty well too. such a simple and fast way to mark a straight line ^^
Maybe it's Eastern Europe - the old Communist regimes never got around to inventing chalk.
@Gorf TheGreat Chalk is what they used in place of portland cement.
I'm pretty sure ancient Greece had chalk lines, along with Romans and the Ottoman empire! Just saying...
What is P.L. ?
generic adhesive used in the building industry. Great for home use, it almost replaces nails. google PL 200
swap doors - problem solved :D
Love it! There really is a simple solution to every problem isn't there?
I even enjoy your sarcasm. :D
Well I saw something sketchy in your video, you used 4" anchors, new lifts normally come with 8" anchors, so I would not under any circumstance walk under any load on that lift, even if it is made in the "peoples republic of Canada"
You are thinking of a 12 000 lbs hoist
Human error and stupidity is always a factory in safety. No matter the type of lift, accidents happen. If you’re unsure or it looks sketchy, put it down and get it checked out. No one wants to see their friend mangled because of a simple accident
3:20 buddy push don’t pull. That’s how you hurt yourself.
Where did you hear that?
Anyone who don’t know what a chalk line is shudnt be doing any kinda construction work
Thank Trudeau for the tariffs...
I can't think of one thing I buy from Canada, because of the tariffs....
I bought an electric bike from canada and two weeks after I bought it the price went up $200. First time something I bought ever increased in value.
@boo boo Indeed.
If there are tariffs it's because the USA imposed them. That idiot Trump imposed tariffs on Chinese goods incoming but was too stupid to realise that it was the American people who had to pay them.
You can thank Dumbo Trump for the tariffs on steel.
I don't think you can casually say..."The floor is loaded with tubing because we use geothermal heat which keeps things toasty," without knowing we would say... "REALLY? WHERE'S THAT VIDEO!!" So either direct me to the title of the one I missed, or make it...please.
I built the shop and house long before we started a youtube channel.
@@DEBOSSGARAGE Glad I didn't miss a video. looking forward to seeing the design, pump, field, temperature gauges, and FLIR video. It seems like a great idea, and your, for sure, the person who knows. Winter is here, it is a good time for it.
The main unit is in our house and we won't be shooting too much in our house. We are going to keep as much of my private life, private. Sorry!
@@DEBOSSGARAGE As it should be! Thanks for the replies. Rattle on...
Are Europeans still living in the Dark Ages? Chalk lines have been in America since the dawn of time... I have my dad's which is from the 1930s, I think.
You need to clean up your shop! Its full of crap...
Thats a byproduct of doing work...
There all made in china,,,,all of them
Ooh smexy.
Plumb,not level. ur a mechanic not a carpenter lol
Funny, I built my house and shop, along with about 30 other buildings in the neighborhood. I would consider myself somewhat of a carpenter. Check out our barn build for my brother on our channel
DEBOSS GARAGE best learn the correct terminology if you fancy urself a wood tick, just cuz I turn wrenches I don’t consider myself a mechanic. Level is horizontal like say the base plate of ur 2 post lift, plumb is something standing vertical like the 2 posts of ur 2 post lift
So I use my level to make sure it's plumb? Won't my plumb bob get offended?
