There‘s nothing better then a well equippet workshop, well done!

This is a very impressive lift Steve! It appears to be quite solid and also a top quality unit. As always your assembly and demonstrative techniques are over the top! I can't wait to see Old Rusty's frame on the lift! TY ...Newk from Kentucky USA

Any lift is better than no lift. The only thing I don't like about that style lift is the cables and hydraulic line running across the floor, it becomes a pain in the ass when your trying to pull out a transmission.

Steve, everything you do works first time. You are an inspiration. I would have loved to spend that day with you. I can sweep up and make the coffee.

Was waiting for your new video. Nice work. Your workshop is going better and better with your masterpiece works. Thanks for sharing those things with us. Eagerly waiting for old rusty's new videos.

Excellent job, great demonstration on assembly and positioning. Happy new shop tool. Thanks for sharing and best regards from the UK.

Great job Steve, they should link this vid with every lift they ship out along with a royalty check.

Nice addition to the shop! Thanks for posting.

Love your video presentation .your amazing array of equipment is sadly lacking . My hydraulic engine hoist had to double up as a forklift . my aluminium ladders sections were performing the safe ish erection of the posts .my new concrete slab had not been bull floated and the surface although level was all bubbly and uneven . My first attempt to bed the post was not perfect although vertical in both directions .Maybe I should have used a bedding mixture of fine sand and cement . the industrial epoxy I used was not enough to cover the whole base plate . 79 years old and still learning new projects . I measured the baseplate positions and screwed two 1/2 inch thick x 4 inches wide ply strips in place to allow for accurate base plate positioning . I like your pilot hole drilling tip. this video is the bnest .. the twinbusch video is sadly not up to your hands on approach . stay safe Richard. in Alvito Portugal Sunday 21st April 2024.

Nice piece of equipment, great video.👍

i installed a 5ton unit in my shop last year, and that thing has paid for yourself and then some. You can fix cars, manure spreaders, lawnmowers, very handy tool to have especially for fuel pumps and suspension work. you will love it. I wish i had your forklift when I installed mine, it would have been a bit less scary :)

Evening Steve. Great quality video on your new lift 👍🏻 Looking forward to seeing you use the lift on you projects and stop you crawling on the floor 🤣🤣 Cheers Stevie 😎🇬🇧

Great product Steve thanks for sharing 👍🇦🇺🚜

very nice vid! what a pleasure to be able to get new tools as you go through a project. (One minor comment is that there was a bit of rocking with the Defender at the end when you were parking it, as if there was a bit of discrepancy between the two sides.)

Awesome video my friend 👍🏾

Interesting to see the Defender caused the cables to be out of timing again. They stretch a bit over time, and the shuttles need re-adjusting into timing. Also, the deflection of the motor column was about 1-2cm at the top. Retorquing/checking the column nuts over a few months also.

ThIs looks to be a very useful addition to your workshop, the only thing I would try to change is the cover for the hydraulic pipes which you have to avoid tripping over, surely this could be sunk into the floor. I think the only thing that will prevent most people buying one is the head height required, I am sure you will cover that aspect in a future video. Many thanks for posting this. Chris B.

Nice work and timely as I'm pouring concrete for a new workshop floor this month. I'm sure you used the correct grade of threaded rod, but I would suggest anyone using rod to not use common thread. An alternative is Chemset Anchors.

After years laying out steel structures and setting bolts in concrete..I used drill in place..on last one ..worked out perfect in far less time.

you made my skin crawl when you ran your hand up an down the cable to grease it.. I know it's new and there should not be any frayed wire but OOOOHHHHH.

Ok, I'm officially jealous!!! :-D

Very good !

Steve best regards !!!

Nice video as always! Maybe be aware that the CE certificate is not always a guarantee of safety but rather an indication. Te manufacturer decide for themselves if their product is CE rated according to the required specifications. So there is no external independent check to see if it really complies to all the specifications.

Hi Steve, nice work on the installation and video, well done. I just checked the comments and i cant find anybody else mentioning it, but it seems as though the shuttles had become out of synchronisation after the first few lifts, rocking the vehicle sideways and the locking mechanisms 'clicks' where well out of time... im sure your already aware and have probably fixed it already..cheers.

A early Christmas present. Your bride spoils you. :)

Very informative!

Looks like a nicely made lift

thanks for the share. Be careful with the Elise on the lift, there are some particularities to know with this car

If I had the extra headroom, I would like to have a lift. But since I don't have that headroom, it is floor jacks and jack stands. Oh well...

Very nice! I should get one too. My problem is the roof clearance inside my garage. The roof is not hight enought for lifting cars all the wat up. I saw in some others videos about lifters, that some of them have adjustable arms (lenght/hight/angle) for different types of vehicle. By the way nice choiche with old rusty engine!

do you plan on upgrading or revising interior lighting inside your workshop? and shelving? be nice to see a walk around ..thanks for your time and effort for these great videos..

Hi Steve. Nice job and realy clear explanation how to install this lift. I bought exactly the same lift (from exactly the same vendor), and followed your instructions very carefully. Everything went well except for the limiters. The top limiter needs some adjustment, but I can figure this out myself, so no problem there. The bottom limiter is supposed to be mounted completly horizontal, according to the predrilled mounting holes. In your instruction it is facing down. You drilled the bottom hole a little bigger so it would fit a facing down mount. But both options do not work for me, not horizontally, not facing down ! In both situations, the limiter is clicking way to early, and the lift stops at 30 cm from the ground. I think I have to modify the position and the way the limiter works. Or am I doing something wrong? Can you help me out on this one? Since I live in Belgium, you can also speak Dutch to me (I saw you Belgian license plate.. :-) Thanks.

thy for all

Very nicely done, excellent narration/description! What final torque did you tighten the floor bolts to ? Did you need any shims to level the posts? Thanks for sharing

So, where did you purchase this lift? Looks like something I would be interested in

Nice Lift Man , What's the Scoop on Rusty ? Did you Decide on a Motor ?

As I said before Steve I would die for a building never mind a two post 4 ton lift ,Tomorrow I'll be on my back under my wife's Kia Soul.!

It always makes me laugh when I hear you say "It will take a little Fiddling around" . I am thinking that is an American term as we are always fiddling with something. However, it must be used by lots of nationalities. Great job Steve.

Hi Steve, great job and vid. We are decided to install a lift, too, as soon as we get some more space in the garage, gettin rid of some spareparts and machines. Wouldn't you mind telling the supplier of your device? Did you know the quality of the concrete? Cheers Heinz

Is that uneven jerking like, when you park it, and release it normal?

GOOD

nice lift

Drinking game time! Take a shot every time he says "this is very important"

How Much was it ?

man these are cheaper than i thought. i wish i had space for one...

I am jealous, maybe some day I'll have a garage

I'm surprised there isn't a set of safety lock position sensors. If one doesn't release and you continue to lower it without checking or paying attention you could drop your vehicle off the lift. The completely manual systems could have similar issue but the opportunity to make it more foolproof with electronics was missed by the manufacturer.
