I've been in the automotive industry for 30 years and seen a few vehicles come off lifts due to weight change and improper lifting positions. Nothing really terrible happened thankfully but it certainly made me more careful for life! We tried to buy a top of the line lift when it was time for lifting diesels and had a pro install it. We built the shop around it with a super thick high pressure concrete floor for it to be overkill on floor strength. Don't be cheap!!!

Thanks for alerting us to the certification aspect of buying a lift!!! This being my first lift that is going in, in a couple weeks, made me check immediately! Good news, the lift I plan to buy is ALI certified!!! Thanks!!!

Your products are some of the best that I have ever seen!

great rep on asi vehical lifts super explaning/easy to understand,thanks

This was really informative…thanks

Great video!

Great knowledge!!! Thanks!!! Keep up the good work

Great video. "There's nothing common about common sense" comes to mind. For sure operator error is a far greater concern along with proper installation.

When I do any kind of heavy work that I feel like might shift the vehicle on the lift or upset the balance I secure the vehicle frame to the lift pads with chain. Might be hard to do with a unibody, but I'm a truck mechanic so I really don't do those. Smallest things I work on are full size pickups

Good information

Ian, your not scared to tell it the way it is. Don't hold back . LoL

I have a chinese lift and at 70 years of age , it is the very best thing I ever bought. Two years now and no problems at all.1100 lb. lift. 2000.oo dollar purchase, money well spent. I installed it myself and safty is always first with me.

Good morning Ian, just more great information. That Launch Tech looks like a great piece of equipment. Is that model direct drive and do you have them in stock? Thanks and take care.

there is no link in the description, great video by the way, thanks for sharing

Thank you sir! Added on a new 3rd car garage to hold my large Ford Transit (High Cab Extended length 10,000 lbs fully loaded). The garage is 25’ wide 30’ deep and 17’ tall where the lift will go. I poured a 6” slab using 6000 psi concrete with steel mesh. I think we really messed up by not pouring deeper concrete where the two post lift needs to be located. So far it looks like 7-8” using 3000 psi is needed. I’m going to speak with an engineer to find out is the 6000 psi of our concrete makes up for any depth needed. The other option would be to consider a lighter lift and making sure the van was light enough. I don’t believe I ever have the van heavier than about 9500 lbs. I’ll need to find some scales and make sure I’m correct. The van is 9’2” tall. I need a lift with an open top or an extension that allows for higher roof vehicles.

hi where you going to add a link about concrete foundation for a lift. i did see it.

any thoughts on the Olympic gold HDXL 10,000? They have little to no reviews on any of there products...but the low ceiling Base plate 10,000 (and 12,000) Olympics fit my criteria very well.. im assuming these are Chinese and not ALI certified

Good salesman

Do they mak sure the lift raises evenly not lopsided.....after a couple of years

A salesman told me today my lift couldn't be certified because it's over 15 years old. Is this true I can't find anything to back this up. Thanks

do a review on my portable car hoist

Lockdown haircut?

Seen a china lift collapse..in a homeowners garage..China built...life worth living..I own a Rotary inground.. American made it's in my home garage..most home garage floors aren't H.D. that's why I put in a old school lift.concrete at the bottom and 12 in at floor level..

I didn’t know there are people that are ok with putting 11k lbs vehicles on 10k lbs rated lifts. I’m looking for a 14k lbs lift for my 6k lbs truck lmao

All stick with bend pak thank you.

Just another made in China lift with a Gold seal to triple the price.
