remember when using the lift , lift the vehicle about a foot off the ground and give it a shake test from the rear to make sure its not gonna tip forward
I have that same lift, about 2 years now and no problems. Fabricated a beam (used I beam) that runs on top connecting the two beams and that eliminated all the flex. Also put the harbor freight gantry on the I beam and that made pulling engines out easy!
Ok, so as someone that installs lift on a regular basis I always use 5/8 anchors and torque them to 150 ft pounds in 6 inches of concrete. I also use ATF for fluid not hydraulic oil. The cables are not load bearing they are only there to make it go up evenly. When raising the lift with no load you should be able to hear the locks click at the same time. Make sure you adjust the cables accordingly. Always rest the weight on to the locks. Just don't want to be safe. Also make sure you get a annual inspection and make sure there is a gold sticker making sure it is certified. Most cheap lifts don't meet building codes and if there happens to be a failure insurance won't cover it and they home owner can be charged with manslaughter if someone is to die. Do it the right way and Goodluck. Love watching you guys!
Not sure who told you to use transmission fluid instead of hydraulic fluid for car lifts, but that's wrong. You have to check what the manufacturer recommends because it could void the warranty if it's not the proper grade.
You mean involuntary manslaughter and if you do it to manufacturers specs no way you can be charged
I always took it down onto the latches so if hydralics were to fail its sitting on the latches and wont fall. Good luck guys cant wait for the next build definatly gonna be easier
I was going to say the same but like the comment instead. I need one of these!
Lance looks like a different person without the beard
If you’re worried about the lift collapsing in on it’s self you could always extend the posts up into the attic and run an I beam across the top
Great Idea!!!!
Looks good. I'm a tad jelly on the lift. You could always cut a hole in the back of one of your work bench units to access the switch to place the work bench exactly where you want it. Thanks for sharing.
The thickness of the concrete is not the only criteria to determine it's strength for a particular application. Hope you fellas don't get injured or worst from this installation... Cheers from OZ
Brother Lance 0:05 Looking like John Candy came back to life over there! Man I miss those GOOD movies. P.s Nice lift!!! Movin on up in the world!
It's been 2 years since you made this video how is the lift doing?Any problems?How much weight have you tried picking up with it so far?
I prefer the lifts with the cross bar at the top, for 2 reasons, Stability, and ease of working on the floor with no obstacles. Get you a magnetic laser level and stick it on the post to see if it the post moves under a lifting procedure. The laser dot on the ceiling should stay in place! Also, get your locks calibrated so they lock together on the way up, the clanking sound. That way when your rest the cars weight back down on the locks, it will be level and stable!. You will definitely need lights under the car to see, but they will be in your eyes if they are low on the wall. Just get some roll around floor lights. ;) Had my 2 post lift for a couple years now. Had it professionally installed cause I am old. :) Best investment I have done in a long long time!
Thanks again for actually sharing the numbers on what you spent and sold it for, no one else does that. Also you guys are braver than me for getting under that lift immediately after that sketchy install lol I’ve worked under some really sketchy lifts but idk if they’ve ever been that bad. Did you say how much the lift cost in a previous video? I’m gonna finally get one at home in the new pole barn garage I’m getting put up so I don’t have to go to work to fix my stuff anymore
Congratulations on 50K love the channel and the content keep up the good work.
Thats basically a brand new truck now crazy how good yall did keep it up
The lift looks freaking sweet! You guys are rocking!!
Loving the channel so far subbed with the wd truck start keep it up brother
Love watching your channel bro! You do a frickin awesome job on everything!
Thanks man!
Nifty, I sure wish I had one of those ! A place to install one is my only problem. I'd run a bar(square tube steel) across the top anyway, regardless of anchor depth/strength. Its just the basic physics of how it would fail. The height is whatever the height of the posts are so, there is virtually NO benefit whatsoever to that design, aside from saving a few feet of hose & cable etc. Leave it to China to leverage that fact. 🤪Of course there is very little to do if any part of the arms were to ever fail, aside from a few backup screw jacks, like you mentioned. But they'd probably have to be custom AF just to be high enough & would only ever be in the way.
You guys are brave... jeezusss I was sweating just watching this lol. Good stuff guys!!!
Really enjoy watching your videos keep them coming
keep em coming bro love your videos
Excellent work and thanks for the awesome content stay safe and take care
Wakes us in the morning and the Mini is smooshed!!! I’d guarantee you get more followers just so they can see the video of the lift breaking!! Be safe guys!!!
Your going to wonder how you ever get by without one now. Only upgrades I did were anchors, and the screwjacks. A must have is a rolling oil change container and flat tool chart with adjustable height up to 5'. Congrats!
Thanks!
I've been looking for a good body shop. Might just check them out. Looks like they do good work
Got a dedicated follow up video? I see you currently still use the lift but a video dedicated to issues you've had? Maintenance you've done? Additions or modifications?
Can't wait for the next build
Same
More like no one has survived to write a review..... LMAO
Sounds about right.
Best ever one liner! 🙇
LANCE : the human car lift tester 🤣🤣🤣
" seems good " love it💯💪
That Ford came out nice 👌, like brand new.
Hey guys I’m actually in the same boat with the bent cross member how did you guys replace that did you do an entire front end replacement or just the crossmember
Poor you a pad outside we got almost the same lift out side. The rebuild looks good guys
Truck looks good 👍
Hey can you upload a video on how to do the wiring? Thanks a bunch 🙌
I did not use the chinese anchors but replaced them with some good quality american anchors.
Omg you two got me laughing so much
hows this lift holding up after these years?
I would feel a lot better if there was a brace on top connecting the 2 post together. That way it should not collapse inward. Space it up to the ceiling so you do lose height?
What about the way the anchor bolts were installed... They weren't installed correctly if they did all of them the same as the first one..
Dustin McDaniel, I was cringing when I seen that ! They need to pull those out and get the correct bit along with new larger anchors. I bet if they put an impact on those nuts, those bolts would pull right up. 😳
Lance needs a Vlog lol I'll subscribe
When he said the concrete thickness requirement was maeasured in yen😅 I lost it lmao
hey just fyi.... some of those lifts require like a 2-3' thick pad or some kind of structural reinforcement. i imagine the concrete slab in the garage is rebar reinforced, but ya never know....dont need that shit falling in.
Did lance get hit by a weed eater. I mean look at that face
werd.
lance is da boss.
nice vid.
Wow didnt know you guys still made vids i lost this channel long ago
not too bad! probably fine for at home as long as you got those anchors in tight! In a garage used daily I would't trust it..
Yeah, I don't think we will put anything huge on it but for cars I think it'll work pretty well.
@@TopLineRacer I would get one for myself if I had the space!! and definitely something that I would love to get in the future!!
Just need a square cut for the cab of a truck to go up into the ceiling.
Need a bigger garage pretty soon
For sure. I have a pole barn mostly built but no concrete or anything.
@@TopLineRacer u planning on putting concrete in it if so I know some ppl who will do it
I appreciate it, it wouldn't be for a year or two but I've poured concrete a couple times so ill probably tackle it myself.
How much did this lift cost
My lift is a Rotary inground lift...i dont bye China Steel..its in my home shop.. don't like above ground ..like open floor look..be safe
no daytime driving lights on the ford ??
How much was the lift?
Maybe Lance can open his own engineering company. Go around the US from auto shop to auto shop shoulder checking each lift 😆😆😎👍
I saw a temu ad for this lift and wanted to see if it was any good
So far so good!
Having used lifts for years, I’ve never seen a left flex like that. Clearly it’s cheap. The base plate looks small and thin to what I’m used to seeing. Garage concrete I wouldn’t trust. Generally only around 4” and may not be the strong concrete you need. I’ve seen it done where people cut out a large area where they plan to put their lift, dig down deeper, reinforce and use strong Cement. It is not a lift I would trust with my life.
look my video
Is that an alibaba lift? they go for 1200
Eleventeenth !!!!! Lance is the man !!!
You guys should eBay auction off that old WhistlinDiesel hood
Yeah we gotta do something with it soon. We tried an auction once but that didn't work out.
Sick
So two years has passed...how's it been doing?
well i hope them ancor bolts dont give out now cuz if they do you just lost 2 cars at the same time, youed have a hell of a time seperaten them...
I use a7+ red head epoxy
Your car definitely will not fall off with the cheapest amazon lift
And the concrete guys were probably full of beans. No one would poor a 1 inch thick floor and cut relief joints in it. Besides when you drill the holes, go down until you're through the pad. Probably about 4 or 5 inches. At any rate, the floor is fine for what you're doing.
I wouldn't be afraid to stick a truck on there. Looks pretty solid really.
This video not brought to you by Raid Shadow Legends.
Gotta swap out them Chevys and fords for a some dodges!
Lol I’ll give you $12 for that Grand Prix I used to have one it wasn’t the best car but I regret selling it just because of the memories of taking my daughter home for the first time and a lot of other good memories in it we bought it with 87,000 miles and sold it around 3-4 years later with 274,000 miles.
Thats awesome. This one has 310k on it right now.
It would be helpful and complete if y’all disclose the cost and brand of the lift🤷♂️
Lance looks younger without the beard
I want the lift though! lol
How tall is the lift
I honestly dont remember for certain but I believe 9ft
Cmon swing that hammer like a man!
so you basically made $7800 profit after you sold the parts truck? That is pretty good. How many miles were on that truck?
How tall is your garage?
113"
You probably wish you gotten the lift when you did the duramax build would be easier to remove the cab.
Oh yeah haha.
@@TopLineRacer yeah love your rebuild on the truck camt wait to get mine done and going
My dads uses the same lift he put his 3500 Duramax w/ a steel flatbed on it and it was solid
What is the brand of the lift?
XingKong. Bought it off amazon.
@@TopLineRacer thanks
oh the third thing is a ford
All the years of putting thousands of vehicles on lifts....always after u pull over the cable cover....u should turn and look and line up ur position in the seat so u look right at the post......to me but on video things look different....could of brought the front pads up a hair...and make sure that lift seam is on the pad in the center....I like dealership pads better....they have groves in them to catch that seam. That is sketchy!!!! Lol
Thank god this was about a VEHICLE LIFT..and not a RC lift for the ford....lmao!!!! I was going to go right by this video...lol
Where is closed caption...? I really love your show but I want to know what you saying..
That is really weird that there’s no cc’s I’ve never seen a yt video without the option for cc’s. I think all content creators need to think about their fans that might be hearing impaired. If you are hearing impaired I wouldn’t mind doing a couple comments and doing cc’s with time captions maybe do like each 20 seconds of the video I’ve never done it before so it might not be perfect but if it would help you out I wouldn’t mind giving it a shot.
Thats a great question. I think I have them enabled but ill have to check.
@@TopLineRacer Thanks for listening to my concern.
It’s nice to know we are not the only ones who the saying the famous last words of a redneck are: “Hey watch this” apply to. You guys would fit right in here in ol’ Cantuk!
LIFT THE DURAMAX WITH IT
Bruh
Dam 14 grand for a total out ford more money than sence good luck too you idc if that thing only had 5 miles on it take it for a trade in see what they say I bet 2500 dollars top on trade in you guys are going have to start learning how to buy cheap shit and sell it not to RIP off but at least the people you tell know it's a total truck good luck
The concrete is suppose to be at least 13 inches. I haven’t finished watching this video yet
Nope.
If it was me I wouldn't bolt that lift that close to the edge of a concrete form. I hope your life insurance is paid up.
There $700
So does this dude acutally own any of the trucks or is it his buddy that has all the money if so he getting the shitty deal out of it poor guy lol
This lift is pretty shitty if you own a lowered car
First?
Edit: yup I’m first
Go with a cheap china lift ,you are taking your own life.. cheap steel..bad welds ..and prob not ETL approved..il stay with my American made Rotary lift. Sorry guys..sometimes you need to stay American made ..mine a 1955 inground totally rebuilt model # FP46H.. steel stamp from Bethlehem, IN .1955.circa. built in Tennessee..
look my video, chinese lift now is good.
@@Car_Lift_Manufacturer no pls be carefull..my best friend lost his life to China steel lift...car fell on him after arm gave way the weld..steer clear go American..like a Rotary above ground.. I own a Rotary inground lift..1983 vintage..its been restored with new seals and a lift non rotor safty leg.. new steel piping..
@@stepheneggert7388 1.bad welds.
This problems is very important.
It is unforgivable for lift manufacturer.
Different lift, we have different weldingfixture.
Maybe your previously manufacturer do not use weldingfixture, or novice.
Automatic welds robot is necessary.
Our factory have 5 welds worker. have long time experience and are very professional.
Welds worker have worked in our factory for 20 years.
We never change welds worker,Raise salary twice a year. because they are doing well.
2.Metal thickness and quality of metal.
Our factory metal from Fortune Global 500 "ansteel group".
Include Hot rolled,square steel pipe,plates of middle thickness,Round steel and Checkered Steel Plate.
Metal thickness is very important.
Include lift arm and Carriage square steel pipe thickness,post Hot rolled thickness,etc...
The easiest way to tell the quality of a lift is by the weight of a lift eg our 1,1000 2 post lift weigh over 900kg there are many 2 post lifts on the market that weight 500kg or less so with less steel used in the manufacturing of the lift they are cheaper to make but are more prone to flexing.
First
Sorry but no
Glad to see somebody out there not buy new and they’re going out and using the organ donors out there that’s on life-support there is nothing wrong with her body parts. They don’t have no diseases no cancer job well done
It's been 2 years since you made this video how is the lift doing?Any problems?How much weight have you tried picking up with it so far?
First
I’m first by miliseconds
I gave the first like 👍
Santiago Perez I don’t think so but I’ll give it to you.
