@RobertMcalpine-pl2pc it was a little tricky and I probably wouldn't have tried it if I had very far to go.

Mine says 3/8 for the 6” plate hope that helps .I’m also using 2x6 base like in video but mine is to wall not on ceiling I’m using 4” lag bolts 👍

Ever figure it out same here 2nd new one still terrible. Some times it runs perfect but most it’s terrible

@@rileyrasnake4985 crapy manufacturing i guess i give up on it

Eh I kinda blown a pump doin that, make sure ur also draining and adding fluid while doin that

I'm sure it would work just as well mounted horizontally. I didn't really have that option since I don't really have the structure to mount something to the wall easily.

It can mount horizontally as well. I wish I'd found your video two days ago, Larry. I just mounted one of these in my garage and today's project is the hose fittings. You just saved me some time and hassles with that.

After I posted this, I had someone send me a chart of 10 different types of connectors.

That's cool. I like my lift as well.

Me too. Went together like a charm. I am 72.

That's cool. I don't have any really old ones (unless you count back in the 1970's, lol)

Thanks for the suggestion, I'll keep that in mind.

Mine is fairly stable. The seat itself wiggles a little and seems to be worse the higher it is raised.

That's great, how did you get the cross pieces on the posts? That's the part I had the most trouble with.

Laid the top ends on eight inch wood blocks, used the hoist to start them on each end, then went back a forth sliding it on. That’s where I noticed the difference. They slid on with ease. I felt lucky.

Thank you for the feedback. After you pointed it out, I noticed that you can see the knob in the pictures on the box, but it doesn't mention it anywhere in the assembly instructions.

It probably varies a little by shipping company, but they wouldn't deliver mine because I didn't have a dock or something like a forklift to get it off the truck, so I ended up borrowing a trailer and picked it up from the local truck terminal.

Fortunately, that didn't happen

I ended up laying the posts on the ground and putting the cross beam in while they were laying down. That wasn't terribly easy either. I put oil in the channels which helped some and used a rubber hammer. If you had a way to stabilize the posts standing up and a way to lift the cross beam to the top of the posts, I think that would be easier because you could use the weight of the cross beam to help get it in place. I think I mentioned that I had to trim the pads on the ends of the beam a little in some cases for various reasons. Some of the welds kept the pad from pushing up flush with the beam, some of the posts seemed to be to small. The tops of some of the posts may have been bent in slightly, I realized that when I inserted the caps on the top, I had to hammer those in as well.

@@larrysgarage3225 Thanks for sharing. I bought one yesterday and should be getting it in the next couple weeks. The dealer I got it from also delivers/installs. We worked out a deal where he will uncrate it when he loads it for delivery and for $300, he is going to help me stand up the posts, put in the cross bars and set the runways on the cross bars. I'm 69 years old so that little bit of help was well worth paying $300 for.

What would you like to know?

Thanks for sharing. Mine should be arriving in a week or so. I have to pour 4 concrete pads at the corners for mine temporarily as i currently have a dirt floor in my barn. I'll pour the rest come summer. Is the widest dimension they list the width from the outside edge of the plates at the bottom of the posts? If not, could you measure that for me and also the post outsidevplate to plate length. It would help me get the pads in place before the kift arrives. I would be most grateful

The overall length and width are from the outside edge of the plates to the outside edge of the other side. 15 feet 10 inches (190") long and 9 feet 4 inches (112") wide on the XLT

@@larrysgarage3225 thank you! Perfect timing, I'm installing mine tomorrow!

Got mine all set up in a day by myself thanks to your video and comments!

I paid $3,870 for the lift, but I had to pick it up from a local freight company. I bought it from Wholesale Lifts, LLC (liftswholesale.com/), but I would not recommend them. They cost a little more after they added shipping, most other places have shipping included. They were helpful and responsive during order, shipping and tracking processes, but I had a few minor issues after I picked it up and they wouldn't answer the phone or respond to emails after I picked up the lift.

I ran across the shipping paper work for my lift and it was shipped from National Auto Tools, if that helps any.

@@larrysgarage3225 Thanks for the reply. I just bought 2 of them. They dropped in price on Mech store. I did some negotiating and got them for $3600 each free ship. I forgot to ask, what type of oil did you use and how much did it take/? I don't see any comment on oil? They say ATF or Hydraulic oil

@J C I used 32W STP Hydraulic Oil that I purchased at AutoZone. If I remember correctly, it took 3 gallons. I believe the lighter weight oil, like I used, lets it come down faster.

They come pre-charged so you don't have to vacuum them for the installation.

Thanks

They are currently on sale at Lowe's for $339.00

The green is called Colony Green.

Thank you!

More to come!
