    Been doing the install alone with an old 1985 Yanmar tractor with forks on the loader. Surprised me that this compact tractor lifted the whole unit off of the delivery truck. Didnt seem like 1800 lbs. This video was needed ! The instructions that came with the lift were not sufficient at all. Thanks for shooting this video.

    Great video, we just picked ours up on Friday, started putting it together today. We cheated and used a small tractor to lift the parts off the trailer but still very confusing trying to use the "instructions" we were given. Loved the video, watched it after having assembled probably 90 percent or better of the lift. Your video clarified MANY things about the assembly that the "instructions" were lacking. And helped with the cable rub issue with the bolts! We are missing one part from the supplier for plumbing the power unit to the ram so we're down until it comes in but looking forward to getting it up and running. Also have added the lithium grease to my shopping list and will use your advice in getting the corners adjusted. Thank YOU for the awesome video!!!

    Really appreciate you taking the time to do this. It’s a great lift, but it comes with probably the worst installation instructions I’ve ever seen. Super confusing and it also leaves many important details out. It’s just blind luck if you line up some of the major pieces correctly following them and you will end up with a ton of extra work undoing things. I’m not sure why they are so bad. That being said though the number to call on the instructions is great, the person at the end of the line does a great job and is very responsive. I’m sure there are a lot of calls (for anyone not watching this video) trying to install this thing without anything but the instructions that come with it. I assembled it by myself but used a forklift which is your best friend for this. Can’t imagine how you would even get it off the truck at delivery without one. Thanks again for the great video.

    • @zweare1
      @zweare1  2 года назад +2

      Kevin...the corner posts with the cap and nut/bolt with no thread showing it is 84 3/4". Just the corner post alone is 83 3/8". The cap does need room to be fitted on top. Overall cap height is 2". The top cap plate is 5/8" thick. It is a 110V 20 amp circuit, with 12 awg wire. It only draws 30 amps on startup and that is for a nanosecond, so the breaker will not trip. Hope that helps.

    Hey just a heads up, I believe the nuts on the cables are to be together on the top side of the plate, one is to be used as a jam nut. Most other lifts will use nylon lock nuts Instead of jam nuts. If you used locktight on them you're probably good, if not, keep an eye on them incase they loosen up.

      You must have one large slope on your concrete. If you have a welder, you might just tack weld a metal shim on the gap of the pad. That way you can still move your lift easier if it weren't bolted down. I have moved mine a few times and I was glad it was not bolted down. Good luck

    Thank you for your triumph video. I appreciate seeing what you had to go through in installing it. I’ve watched several install videos and noticed something in yours that may require attention. It looks like you attached your cables to the cap with one nut on top and another on the bottom; which is something I would have done. But I saw in a manufacturer’s video they had both nuts on top using the second as a jam nut. Here is a link to that video where he describes his cable installation.
