Rock-Solid Lift with Serious Power

From unboxing to full setup, this lift impressed at every stage. The hydraulic motor is a beast—4 HP running at 3440 RPM, and it runs smooth on 220-240V. All the parts were well-packaged and clearly labeled, including the arms, anchors, and hoses. The install was straightforward in our shop, and the finished product looks clean and professional. We've already tested it with a full-size truck and it handled it with zero issues. If you're looking for a reliable two-post lift with commercial-grade performance, this one delivers big time.

Great truck car lift, bad instructions

This lift has proven to be highly effective, it has a dual safety feature that takes two-handed operation. The 10,000 lb lift has functioned remarkably well thus far. Nevertheless, I would confer a flawless rating if the instructions were crafted with greater clarity, presupposing fundamental mechanical seeknowledge. The shipping process was efficient, with delivery transpiring prior to the anticipated date. For individuals lacking proximity to a forklift, I suggest coordinating delivery to a site endowed with one.

Nice lift

Came on time. There was good communication from the seller to set up delivery. Had a few scratches but no big deal. Instructions are not clear, but found some videos on YouTube to install the same lift. I was able to install it on my own. Overall very happy with the purchase.

A Decent Hoist with Terrible Hardware

If this review was written for the seller, it would easily be 5 stars. They are very responsive, initiated communication on delivery right away, and offered a small credit for some light damage done by the shipping company. A simply great experience with the seller as far as Amazon goes.As for the hoist, it is pretty solid for the price. Core structure and critical components are made of heavy gauge steel.. has no issues lifting a crew cab dually F450. The lift appears to be manufactured under a bunch of different names and where this particular one falls short of expectations (even at this cheap overseas price) is the hardware... specifically the anchor bolts. They are absolutely garbage and not safe.. they have a pin that you hammer to expand the wedge and I was unable to get them to torque properly (for those that installed correctly). Some of the anchors also bent while hammering and would not accept a nut. They may be some metric size which caused my issue? Unsure.. I used a 3/4" masonry bit, which was the closest size I could find locally. I actually ended up having to extract these with a slide hammer and use a proper sleeved wedge anchor. What a monumentally better experience with new anchors. Most stores will not stock the size needed here ( 3/4" x 5.5" ) so plan ahead and order them if you are considering this lift.One additional annoyance is that there are no leveling shims included with the lift. The instruction manual mentions to use shims to level the columns but there are none on the exploded parts diagram. This, combined with the anchors, made installation harder than it needed to be. A $20 investment in better hardware by the manufacturer would make this lift an easy 5 stars.Keep in mind that the instruction manual is next to worthless, as the installation diagram has incorrect measurements. Make sure you verify actual dimensions by dry fitting the lift before drilling holes. The diagram stated a measurement that was a good ~2 inches off from actual. There are also hundreds of fasteners/washers/etc. all different sizes and material and the manual mentions nothing about where each goes. You can tell this is a generic manual but there are some videos online to give you some clues. I still had questions whether I was using the appropriate length screw for each cover/component.Time will tell on the reliability and longevity of the hoist.. Will update my review if there are any additional issues.
