My wife works at car dealership and they have had cars and trucks fall off the lifts from time to time. He was exactly right when he said don’t get to comfortable with the lift and make sure you shake the vehicle a little before you lift it all the way up.
Great video, My father & Uncle owned a garage in the 50s which had a pit for working under cars. Later I worked on cars with my dad with a lift, it was so much better. This lift is great for homeowners for maintenance but like the installer mentioned. " Safty First be familiar with the operation of the lift first".
You have to remember though the wheel lift is only 7000lbs capacity where the lift is 12000lbs. If your truck is 3/4 ton or bigger you will overload the wheel lift.
Get some high lift jack stands to go with that lift. I pickup everything up to an f450 on my hoist and a jack stand under the hitch and under the front axle makes it rock solid when doing any work.
im glad the point of centering the load and load shake was mentioned. Many people have been killed or bent/destroyed their lift ect due to improper lift position.
Merry Christmas! Back in 74 I had a pickup slip off a lift, another guy put it on and was rotating the tires around. It was up 5 feet off the ground when all of a sudden it came down, luckily nothing wasn't touched.
Our son would love to have a lift. First he needs a building, his detached 3 car garage is not tall enough. Merry Christmas to you and your family. 👍👍👍
This is my favorite RUclips channel. Merry Christmas to you and your family. Even tho I never had the pleasure of meeting you it feels like your part of my family. I love you guys and appreciate everything you do. Keep up the good work
It was fascinating to hear about all the capabilities that this lift has, and I'm sure that we just saw an introductory overview. There must be a myriad of capabilities for it. You must be so exited!
Winner of the worlds smartest man! Like there’s no safety locks under it so if something happened and it collapses he’s dead. Like why put yourself in danger like I don’t understand why he’d go stand under there maybe to seem cool probably
Man your pole barn has come a long way and it's been fun to watch the evolution. I remember when the first thought was to tear it down, look at it now! I've been keeping a list of ideas!
I know that lift is perfectly safe but man, a four post lift sure makes me feel more comfortable. You really have a good setup at this new house now. Merry Christmas to you and your family!
I have owned Challenger lifts since 1983 for use with cars and light trucks. I have lifted wreckers and 1 ton duallys with my Versymmetric lifts, with no issues and complete confidence for safety. If around the Houston Tx area, I suggest contacting John with A E S Equipment, good people....
Definitely do your own maintenance one thing about Ford they own patents on their filters use only Ford filters they’re economical. I believe the oil filter on your 6.7 is a spin on however any cartridges, for example in the aftermarket they have a slight difference in dimensions so oil filter are shorter and you will get bypass. There’s a guy on YT power stroke help he has a detailed video regarding Ford filter worth watching.
For those that are commenting about the 7000lb weight capacity or being able to service the wheels etc, remember that the CL12 is an automotive lift first. It still has capability to lift up trucks if you remove the turf rail and put the footpads back on.
I have mohawk lifts at my shop and they have no floor plate and no over head beam .they are made from fork lift channel and have hydraulic equalization so no cables . two are 10000 lb cap. and the other 16000lb cap. I have the power equipment troughs like your lift .once you have them you cant do without them.
Check with sellers & installers, I have Challenger USED lift & installed less than $2000.00, these sellers sell new ones to car dealerships etc & they take out great used ones you can pick up for a steal, great for work like Tim is doing, there is a fellow here in Nawth Florida I think he sells used ones for less than $2000.00, I've heard of them going for $1000.00
think i would make my self up a pair or rope handles with a hook on the ends so i can slide the turf rails by my self and move them around with no help or at the very least use a 4 wheel dolly under the rail and set it on it a little so i can roll it forwards and back while setting it
Merry Christmas Tim, Christie and Katriel. With that lift I see a new enterprise changing oil on viewers tractors. It could be a teaching experience 😁. The shed looks so clean and organized too.
I have two comments. First. My 5075e with ballast in the tires comes in at near 8000 lbs so both your tractor equipped with ballast and mine are realistically too heavy. I also notice the ends of the lift arms appear bowed in with Johnny 5 in the air. Also didn't see any pricing on the Indiana equipment website. Not sure if I'm doing something wrong? Keep up the good work, I've enjoyed my lift thoroughly.
1) yes, above 7000...not sure how much it weighs total. 2) left lift arm is lower due to recently being on rhe plow. I thought I mentioned that???? 3). I think we mentioned that their e-commerce site is not up yet...but you can call to get the detailed pricing. Phone number in description and in the first video.
Yes you mentioned the lift arms on the tractor and I apologize, I meant the lift arms on the lift. Could just be an optical illusion but they vertical extensions appear to lean inwards with the 5075 on the lift.
The thing that would worry me is lifting Clifford. Those big diesel engines are so heavy and trucks are light in the rear. Seems like a lot of weight on one side. I have worked around those in mechanics shops but they usually lift trucks on a four post lift.
Nice Show! I have an 11K Atlas lift ready to install (on the ground), and was concerned installing myself (Lifting the posts Vertically). Looks like I'll need to rig up a chain hoist between rafters.. Looks doable to me.. thanks again. BTW no Tractor here, but a pretty cool ASV RT-40 track loader that can climb a wall..
Point was, was wondering how the heck could the lift be used for a small (48" wide) Rubber Track Loader (4300 Lbs wet).. the adapter you demo'd is interesting, maybe it will also work for a TL?
Lifts are very nice. I enjoy the use. They can be used for much more then cars for sure. Use them for lifting about anything. Like the take away he stated at the end please be watchful of balance. I myself have dropped a vehicle off a lift. Old truck with wood bed and snow plow bracket on the front. Took tires off the rear and it went head first into floor. Not proud of my experience but be watchful just wanted to embarrass myself.

TTwT, your RUclips one-stop shop for tractor videos, and cat videos. :)
It’s nice to see an American made company, and an owner willing to literally “stand by his product” lol. Old fashioned quality.
My wife works at car dealership and they have had cars and trucks fall off the lifts from time to time. He was exactly right when he said don’t get to comfortable with the lift and make sure you shake the vehicle a little before you lift it all the way up.
We were blessed with two supervisors today.

Cats trying to steal the show again, Merry Christmas.
Unless I was working on tires or brakes, I'd use those rails all the time! Those are sweet!
Ya know I hadn't thought of that, beats having to use the spacers & the other stuff !
You have to remember though the wheel lift is only 7000lbs capacity where the lift is 12000lbs. If your truck is 3/4 ton or bigger you will overload the wheel lift.

Matthew Burgoyne this Cl12 is very sturdy!
YES, I have purchased 4 of the high stands from harbor freight MUCH cheaper than anywhere else
im glad the point of centering the load and load shake was mentioned. Many people have been killed or bent/destroyed their lift ect due to improper lift position.
That lift is awesome Tim!
It has been a good year watching all your videos Thanks Have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
Thanks for the kind words! Merry Christmas to you too!
Very informative!!! I like it!!! Your making my wish list grow!!!! Great video!!!!!!

Thanks very much Martin! I wish we had the chance to get to know all of our viewers! That would be great!
It was fascinating to hear about all the capabilities that this lift has, and I'm sure that we just saw an introductory overview. There must be a myriad of capabilities for it. You must be so exited!
We are right on the limit on weight...let me stand right here under the middle of it all!
Take it to the bank! If the inventor is willing to stand under it, it will hold up!
Winner of the worlds smartest man! Like there’s no safety locks under it so if something happened and it collapses he’s dead. Like why put yourself in danger like I don’t understand why he’d go stand under there maybe to seem cool probably
Theres always a buffer for weight limits, unless its cheap Chinese made
Uh, yes,’there are safety locks. We discussed them in one of the two episodes. You can actually hear them clicking as the lift goes up.
@@prestonkerr4421 Like, try to like keep up, dude.
💥 With Johnny 5 up there and you under it I was a bit nervous. That it a lot of weight!
Keep on tractoring!
A cat video with Humans and tractors, trucks in the background.
Great video on the lift. Ones definitely on my list after my shop gets built.
Man your pole barn has come a long way and it's been fun to watch the evolution. I remember when the first thought was to tear it down, look at it now! I've been keeping a list of ideas!
Boy that's a nice lift Tim, and your shop is so bright, your shop planning and has been spot on. Merry Christmas and Happy New Years TTWT viewers.
What a handy setup. Now, if you had a machine like a forklift you could put those turf rails on by yourself.
Too bad I don’t have forks. Oh, wait! ....
Listening on my ISOtunes, you gave me the idea of buying them, I love them , recommend them
Thanks Emery! Hopefully you saved $10 with code TTWT!
I always after you lift something off ground down low give the vehicle a wiggle test before lifting high
I'm impressed with it picking up Johny 5 didn't even bow the rails
Man....shop envy here....we're fixn to build a nice big shop...hope to put a nice lift in there too....seems like a great company
Nice video and lift.
MERRY Christmas to you and your family and the kitties😎
I think the kitty cats are doing all the work
I know that lift is perfectly safe but man, a four post lift sure makes me feel more comfortable. You really have a good setup at this new house now. Merry Christmas to you and your family!
Thanks Tim! Merry Christmas to you and your family.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to the Marks family! I hope Santa brings you whatever you want for Christmas!

Wow, that is one impressive lift!!
Very informative and interesting Vid. thanks and Merry Christmas. ... Will we plan on seeing a catty patty soon? Fun to watch their antics.
Man, what I wouldn't give to have a shop with a lift! You're a lucky man Tim.

Great lift! It will make maintenance so much easier!
Merry x-mas too you all

Be patient, be safe... looks like it will make a great addition to the barn... Merry Christmas TTWT
Wow. Great addition to the shop! Well deserved Tim.
Thanks for sharing. Remember SAFETY FIRST Just use common sense god bless y’all and marry Christmas and happy new year
Merry Christmas and a good, happy and healthy New Year.
Kind regards Hollandduck from the Netherlands

Great video and lift, but the cats stole the show ! Merry Christmas everyone !!
Merry Christmas Marks family!
you could colour code the areas on the ramp for each piece of equipment with out measuring each time
Merry Christmas to you tim and your family have a wonderful holiday
Merry Christmas to you and all your family.
Merry Christmas Tim and family. Really like your new lift. Goal for my shop is a lift.
He is a nice dude! What an amazing lift, i want one so bad!
Merry Christmas.
Very interesting and informative. Thanks
think i would make my self up a pair or rope handles with a hook on the ends so i can slide the turf rails by my self and move them around with no help or at the very least use a 4 wheel dolly under the rail and set it on it a little so i can roll it forwards and back while setting it
Your vids are always uplifting....Merry Christmas TTwT family
Appreciated the instruction
You may have a tractor driver in the making with Martha 😂 Merry Christmas and God bless.
So cool! Good for you guys! What a cool tool!!!
nice lift
Shane gives you a lot of confidence that it’s done correct.
Very interesting video, wishing you a Merry Christmas and a Happy and Prosperous New Year
Merry Christmas Tim, Christie and Katriel. With that lift I see a new enterprise changing oil on viewers tractors. It could be a teaching experience 😁. The shed looks so clean and organized too.
Ha! Are you wanting to be first in line?
It would be ‘lazy lube’ instead of ‘jiffy lube’ around here!
That would be great, Lazy Lube. More talk than work and a Diet Pepsi Bar too.
That tractor looked damn heavy. Nice video
Your kittens sure are inquisitive!
Impressive lift, you'll spend more time looking up without being on your back now.
Merry Christmas TTWT!
Merry Christmas you guys made it another great year
Tim, I would have solid one-piece spacers made for the rear for the truck, it wouldn't cost much. The three-piece spacers freak me out.
Tim is definitely going to knock off another mirror with the posts.
Max Clement seems like there’s all ways someone who does. Both trucks we bought had there mirrors damaged before we got them.
It's gonna take more time to remove the cats than the turf rail...
And Merry Christmas
Tim this is great on my wish list but Santa is not bring one
God Bless All
PaK
i like your lift i have a atlas drive on i use for my 1025r and other stuff god bless u
Curiosity and cats... 🙀 Great video! Thanks for sharing❗❗❗ 🙂🙂🙂 👍👍👍

Not sure. Illusion is possible. The camera lenses are not perfect. They can show a bit of ‘bow’ at times in a straight piece.
Call us today for pricing! We are currently working on website pricing. :)
I like the 4 post lifts looks a lot less scary lol
Merry Christmas Tim & Kristy.
Merry Christmas to you and your family and your kitty too😼😼
Merry Christmas great video!
Merry Christmas 🎄🦌 🎄⛄ 🎅
Love your new shop! I want one
Nice lift Tim!
Merry Christmas to you and, your family.
THOSE CRAZY CATS MAKE ME LAUGH!
Merry Christmas
Michael 🇬🇧
Merry Christmas! Have you thought of a new channel, Kitty Time with Tim?
Great job enjoyed that!!!
The thing that would worry me is lifting Clifford. Those big diesel engines are so heavy and trucks are light in the rear. Seems like a lot of weight on one side. I have worked around those in mechanics shops but they usually lift trucks on a four post lift.

Yes, it will. turfrail.com. Tell
Them ttwt sent you for a discount.
Merry Christmas !
Good Info. I'm amazed at how inexpensive that lift is. However you need a dog or two, they are much much more in tune with heavy equipment..
Lifts are very nice. I enjoy the use. They can be used for much more then cars for sure. Use them for lifting about anything. Like the take away he stated at the end please be watchful of balance.

Merry Christmas, this is a great gift 🎁 for the garage . Thanks, TTWT
Merry Christmas.
Merry Christmas 🎁🎄
Have a Blessed and Merry Christmas!
Merry Christmas and God Bless
My 5055e with filled tires and loader with bucket weights in at 9800 pounds.
I use a transmission jack with a bucket. One less thing to buy and store.
