That is a lot cheaper than I thought. I figured about $10k completely shipped/installed. It definitely seems like one of those tools you groan about when you buy it, but after a few uses you wonder how you functioned without.
One problem bolting to the garage floor if you live in a new house that utilizes post tension cables in the slab- you can't drill into the slab with very deep anchors without destroying your garage floor. Something to consider before installing. Nice lift. Jealous👍
If you're good at fixing cars, and she has a car herself, you could offer to put her car on the lift to fix it when it needs fixing and save tons of money not taking it to the mechanic, win-win situation.
Got the same one in 220 volt, great lift, wife and I assembled it in two weekends with nothing more than a engine hoist, saved myself 1,000 bucks total cost was less than $4,000 well worth it, 65 Buick Skylark sits on top 72 Ford Maverick underneath for now with 10 foot ceiling. If you can swing it do it.
I installed a 4 post 9000lb model from Direct Lift 4 years ago. All in, all done, delivered, set up etc cost me right at $4000. Hands down, best money I've ever spent on my home shop, with the exception of my machine tools which don't really count in this context. I would do it again tomorrow in a heart beat.
Putting a lift in my garage would cost me about $1500 total. The $40,000 I'd need to literally raise the roof however would be a tad out of my range....
Great job on the lift and the video, I'll be installing my own next month as soon as it gets here, already ordered it. I went with Bendpak as well. I went with the HD-9 standard.
Good review. Lots of great info. I see folks getting the BendPack pretty often. We have three Direct Lift Pro Park8 lifts in our three car garage. The biggest car we have is a 996TT, but I've had a Cayenne and an M5 and they do fit. The Direct Lift is the one with the mechanical locks - so no air compressor. They are also 110V and were just over $3K installed. We had one hydraulic unit go out, but it was quickly replaced under warranty. You can do quite a bit of work on the lifts and I use them for all of our How Tos. So much safer than jack stands and such!
I started with an air single cylinder underground lift 30 years ago . Always bolt any lift down. I've seen them collapse. make sure you have stops on both ends when using a 4 post lift. I have seen cars roll off the ends. I always build my shops with 14 foot ceilings, but you can get by with shorter. Just make sure you put a safety trip that will stop the upward motion at the max height. I've got an airplane hanging from my ceiling also, but not where the hoists are. There is a pic of it on my channel.
Improvise.. he’s demo consumerism. Look outside the box and build a two study mini mansion.. there allll over these creative channels in the boob tube. Happy trails.
I spent 10k building the garage. 12ft ceiling and 12" deep concrete where the lift posts sit. $500 Benwil lift. $250 to install the lift. The installers positioned the posts by hand, drilled, and mounted. Set the chain length for the arms to be even and installed the power to the motor.
Damn that's definitely cheaper than I would've expected for all the supporting items included. But the real question is how many times did you have to hit your head on that beam getting out of the STI?
I'm ready to order one up right now these things are great fortunately though I don't have a major credit card in fact I don't have a house or a garage! Even put it in. I'm going to have to think about this, I didn't realize I've got to buy a house and have a garage, to enjoy you're cool lift :-) thinking it, probably work on the beach just look for a nice solid place to erected in Baja, in the Arroyo, :-) and I don't need a manual that's for sure! Because I got a guy, named Manuel who can install it for me:-) the most important thing is that it can lift my spirits up. little humor never hurts during these troubling times! I don't even drink but I'm not going to let Corona V eliminate my future dreams oh, it would be so nice on the beach I could check out the federales cars, when they come by to visit to free rotation for the surfer girls sweet
Good video , thanks for addressing many od the basic questions on it i have not been able to Get one yet but as a car lover and one who does enjoy working on them it has been always on my mind and hope to one day have one in my personal home garage
I was searching for info on the Bent Pac Lift and happened on to your video. What made your video special is that we also have a STI, so i gave you a thumbs up 👍
Nice Daytona Violet M3! My dad owns one, as well. Cool channel! I came across it while trying to figure out whether I want to sell my 4runner and test out team Subaru. Still can't decide. But I've subscribed! Keep up the solid content.
What I don't understand is, if you are a handy guy that can work on your own cars, Why did you pay someone else to do the install and bolting it to the ground? That was a lot of money that you could have saved. Bolting it to the ground is a super easy, 30 minute job for a DIYer.
Paid $1746 shipped for my 2 post 9k lb lift by Launch. Installed it my self. Done! $650 for my high lift kit installed. Only did that so I can put a car underneath. Otherwise not neccessary. Best present I ever bought!!!

Good video. Fixing to build a shop to work on my retirement project, 56 Chevy. Plan on a 2 post lift. I don't get up and down so easy any more, so floor jacks and creepers are out of the question. :) Don't need overhead storage to stack cars. Wife is on board, she likes cars too. :) Good job.
i guess i should go into the lift install business!lol.just installed my own 2post bendpak in about 4 hours.cost $50 for the anchors/shim kit and all that is needed is some mechanical skill and a hammer drill.either way,if you love cars,a hoist is a dream.good days
Be careful with it anchored to the ground. This hobbyist grade lift can have some major issues if it can not flex some. Also. Bend Pak does not have the best track with keeping parts in stock and continuing support for older lifts they discontinue.
Thanks for the garage vids and specs. Helps me choosing a home. Seems a little sketchy to use jacks and stands on that lift but eh I might do the same thing you did.
I have a garage with a Bendpak lift installed, works ok but after a short time all the hydraulic hoses started to leak and burst , oil all over the floor and equipment ruined, Bendpak refused to hear about it and told me to go F))k off. I live in a farming area and had the 4 new hoses made for about $35. each.
WOW, this is a great idea, if i had that in my car port, i could have a guest spend some time and use it for their car to store it, very impressive, great video,,,, my hats off to you sir,,,,,take care,,,,
Just get one of those very high jack stands. Put one under the subframe in the middle, lower the lift a bit and BAM you can work on the wheels without having to jack up anything
@@badgerpa9 he did not say or imply "transmission jack"; he referred to the very tall safety stands required when utilizing a two post lift. The point and suggestion are 100% valid and your comment shows you have much to learn.

I did add transmission as that is the normal "very tall jack stand" that I have seen youtubers use under vehicles to hold more than the transmission.

I have one car, live in an apartment complex and not sure why I’m even watching this. I watch crazy stuff non-relevant to my lifestyle. Maybe it’s a sign that I might be buying a house this year. 🚙 🏠 💰
We actually measure concrete in Psi. Sidewalks and driveways would be 1800-2500 Psi concrete, your foundation and most likely your garage are 5000-6000 Psi.
Great video with lots of information. I need one of those, I have 4 cars and a 3 car garage. Thank you Chuck! I would have my lift bolted, I live in California.
My problem is my garage is only 106" tall. I'll need to get something as short as an Exige (about 46") as my weekend car to fit a 'normal' low 56" car underneath. Life goals :)
Bought one off craigslist for 1500 works great in my shop for oil changes on my brothers 305 sprint car and my 600 super sprint. The cars are too low for a jack and often is a pretty tight situation with a lift it's raised up and we can stand underneath it. Us it helps so when our hauler is in the shop we can just park my 600 under the 305 on the lift half to put the wing waaaaayy down but that takes seconds
Just made me realize how different carpenters and mechanics are. Lol I’m afraid to touch cars but all these other things could be easily wiped out with a good Saturday.
Cost me £2.1k total for my lift that's the lift, delivery, installation I already had a roller door put on a few years previous. Best 2k I have ever spent tbh
I'm curious how that lift supports the weight of the car... I hope it's not only hydraulic pressure... You know, when I lift a car, I use hydraulic pressure... through a jack. Before I get under the car... I put a jack stand under the car... as hydraulics fail. Edit: Safety locks. Seems good to me.
Do you have any relation to t-rex? Bad joke but it will make someone giggle. Great info. I dream about doing this when I have my own garage. Love the color of the BMW. Watched you for the installs but subscribed for the Taco Bell runs.
Did you ever figure out if a cheaper bridge jack will work with the HD9?? The Bendpak unit is over 2x the price of the DirectLift but I read that the directlift unit will have issues working on the HD9...haven't been able to confirm that myself. Thanks the video's...very well done.
The short answer is I could never figure out if it'd work so I didn't want to spend $500 to find out. That being said I'll have a video out soon on the RJ-45 from bendpak!
Lee Moore as an industrial maintenance technician I know you could, there’s always ways to add a limit switch to cut the pump once you reach a desired hight
Great Video, very helpful. I like the four Post lift. Who did the installation, how long did it take to install the four post lift? I am ready to purchase a four post lift( I am in DC area too), just need installer. The Garage door, The 110 20 amp done. I have the 11 ceiling. Thanks for all your Information Great you tube channel
I used SGS Services (Manassas VA) for the install, it took a total of maybe 4-5 hours for the two guys to do it. Same guys I had come back and bolt it to the floor. Both times they were prompt and did good work. Ask for Ron.

Yeah its been amazing, I love it so much!
Any possibility that if you change houses, you can take it with you? I mean, it unbolts from the deck, right?
Buy once, cry once.
I don't own a lift and I'm barely functioning without it.
One problem bolting to the garage floor if you live in a new house that utilizes post tension cables in the slab- you can't drill into the slab with very deep anchors without destroying your garage floor. Something to consider before installing. Nice lift. Jealous👍
Jason Blackwood that's why you pay for someone to do it so if they fuck it up ur gettin a new garage floor for free lmao
Rollo Larson that's why you do your research and the company your hiring and on the job they'll be doing.
We don't have those cables in Michigan so drill away
Learned something new, thanks: www.hgtv.com/videos/post-tensioning-slabs-0167581
You can they just make a loud noise when you hit them. That is why he used someone with insurance.
Totally convinced on getting one. Now I just have to convince the Mrs.
Haha good luck man!
Alan Santana dont need her permission to spend your money . Man up. Its not a tv . Its so u can work on your car and save money

Let the lift lift the roof. Then after cutting around perimeter where the roof meets the wall, frame in the fill. A few grand at the most.

What did they drill and mount the posts? did they also get it turned on or just install the power you left out so much.

Nicely done...I have two of them in my garage and you hit all of the points
Thanks man!
So advantageous.💯💯 . Be nice instead of bolting down, have blocks w a hollow center that it could go into for stability.
BendPak HDS-14X with two rolling bridge jacks and electric/pneumatic workstation is 10 grand. I just bought one.

Do you have insurance to cover your business?
Be careful with it anchored to the ground. This hobbyist grade lift can have some major issues if it can not flex some. Also. Bend Pak does not have the best track with keeping parts in stock and continuing support for older lifts they discontinue.
Most companies do not want to continue support for something they discontinue it. That is what they are doing is not supporting it anymore.

recommend checking with your homeowner's insurance and add a rider to cover the lift.

Check YOUR local code, some places have ridicules rules against anything.

I appreciate you watching man!
no problem man
Superb video. For peace of mind, I agree, screw it into the floor. Thank you for this.
That's a great deal especially if your mechanic pay for itself in the first couple months thanks
Great project! Need similar lift!
Thanks great explanation. Really helped me make my decision.!
Pretty cool. If you ever sell the house I’m sure it would raise the value for car guys
Cost me £2.1k total for my lift that's the lift, delivery, installation I already had a roller door put on a few years previous. Best 2k I have ever spent tbh
It definitely needs a drip tray to prevent from water drips after turning on AC.

Very cool! I thought it was going to be about 10k
That's actually way less than I imagined, even after installation and anchoring it. I thought maybe $10k - $20k so I was way off.

Can you set a height stop, or is there a chance that you'll lift your car right into the ceiling if you're not paying attention?
+Lee Moore I don't think there is a height stop, you just have to be careful. But I will say it's fairly slow so it's pretty easy to judge lol
Lee Moore as an industrial maintenance technician I know you could, there’s always ways to add a limit switch to cut the pump once you reach a desired hight
Lmao, if my wife ever kicks me out. A car will be parked in the bedroom.
Or Sharpie a black mark on the post where you control it.
Wait, five months, no anchor?! Woah dude. Very nice lift! Me like
Great vid. Thanks for sharing.
Under 3k?????? Shit I thought you were gonna say like 15k. Good stuff 👍🏼
Good price I install lifts for a living and my company charged $1k to install a 4 post
Anyone else like how these lifts went up almost $1,000 since this video lol
Tariff war... steel prices surged 😉
No street car is going to beat 9000 pounds. A Ford E350 with a standard body is 7000 pounds, your rice burner will never weight that much.
Do you even lift bro?
Occasionally

Lol good one
I’ll be your 100th like, that was a good one haha
I'm about 2 years too late, but I feel that some cement blocks with a ramp and metal beams will do the same thing as a lift.
Right, make sure you stand your blocks on end when you do it so they crack faster for you.
prices starting at $3280, as of jan 2019.
I live in the county where everyone has a pole barn garage. I need one of these
What county is that?
Great Video, very helpful. I like the four Post lift.
Who did the installation, how long did it take to install the four post lift?
I am ready to purchase a four post lift( I am in DC area too), just need installer. The Garage door, The 110 20 amp done. I have the 11 ceiling.
Thanks for all your Information
Great you tube channel
I used SGS Services (Manassas VA) for the install, it took a total of maybe 4-5 hours for the two guys to do it. Same guys I had come back and bolt it to the floor. Both times they were prompt and did good work. Ask for Ron.
