We had one of those Mohawk 10,000 lb hoists for the last 10 years where I worked, and we used it constantly. We wore other hoists out pretty fast, but not the Mohawk. I've been retired 10 years and it's still running for them. Congrats on your new shop!

I've had my system 1A for about 10 years now in my hobby shop. The only complaint I had with it was that I had to use several of the included base shims to shim between the base and concrete. Supposedly to get your columns perfectly plumb... My concrete was perfectly flat but both bases were warped from when they welded the base to the columns. Looking at your columns, it looks like Mohawk is now using a jig when welding the columns to the bases. Not a safety issue but on mine you can clearly see the base is 1/4" above the concrete resting on the shims at a couple bolt locations on each column. One of THE greatest advantages of the mohawk lifts over any other lift that use cables is that the hydraulic lines can be customized (by someone who is proficient in making hydraulic lines) to any height. If you have an extra high or low ceiling, the lines can be made to fit your shop perfectly, whereas a cable type lift you can only purchase is specific height configurations.

Good video, was helpful for my install of a used System 1 9000lb from the mid 90's. A few things have changed on the System 1A design since then, but the important stuff is all the same. It's amazing that there is really very little to go bad on these. The small cam follower bearings on the sides wear out eventually, and the fluid should be refreshed periodically. In 30 years of rough service mine has had a new motor put in, but the cylinders haven't needed anything (they are much larger than other brands).

What made you choose Mohawk over Bendpak (another USA company)?

@LynxStarAuto Жыл бұрын

I was a Rotary guy, until I stumbled upon Mohawk. The selling point for me was the fact the locks engage at just 6 inches of lift. We all know that there are plenty of times you are servicing a vehicle and you need ground clearance, but still need it low enough to work under the hood. Most 2 post lifts don't engage the locks at those heights. Instead the cylinder is taking the brunt of the load on those applications. From there, the other features like chain drive, roller bearings, just made it the stand out.

@LynxStarAuto 4 ай бұрын

@@yaknowwhothis5102I changed out to, 2 Mohawk LC-12 (12k lbs) haven't looked back since. Greatest investment I made. I had 3 Rotary lifts for several years, and while I didn't suffer any major problems, sourcing replacement parts when they do fail is a pain. That's mostly because Rotary uses authorized vendors, and if your vendor sucks, well you're stuck with what you're stuck with. Mohawk sells directly to the consumer, no middle man. After about 3 years seeing daily use on the Rotaries, the plastic blocks inside the carriers wore out. That would cause the lift to jolt on the way down. Vendor was a no show. I can't have that. Also, the locks and cables require constant adjustment, and it's time consuming to get them dialed just right. Mohawks there is nothing really to adjust, except the counter weight on the pull string. Everything else stays perfectly synchronized. All the maintenance it needs is fresh grease on the chains and the rollers. Mohawk recommends a fluid change once every 5 years. Ohh and the warranty! 25 years. Transferable to a new owner. I'll be long retired before that.

I agree. If Mohawk Lifts is not native Indian owned and operated, they should at the very least stop using the Indian headdress logo. Mohawk Lifts are located in the Mohawk Valley, so it could be argued that the Mohawk name isn't inappropriate.

How critical do you think it is to time the safety locks between the 2 sides? I notice yours are not sync'ed; neither are mine. I've been told it's important, but I just can't see why. How do you do it, if you do care to have them perfectly in sync?

@chrismoeller8545 11 ай бұрын

It’s pretty critical considering how the vehicle settles when you lower to locks. The big steel flat washers these guys used on the arm pins are actually the spacers meant to go under the rollers on top of the cylinders. When lowered to floor the chains should have no slack when cylinder is fully compressed. Not being rude but, it’s in the manual.

Nicely made video. Like the fact that Mohawk Lifts are made in USA in Amsterdam, NY. Like many comments here, I wonder about the use of the name and Indian logo -- whether that is appropriate in 2024. The factory is near the Mohawk valley and Mohawk river. Mohawk Lifts employs 75 people. I give it a pass as the company was named that many years ago. Because of its location I think the name Mohawk name is OK for non-Indians to use. But I question whether the Indian with headdress logo imagery is appropriate in the case where a company is not native Indian-owned / operated. Although a different issue, it is noteworthy that sports teams have been forced to stop using Indian imagery. No argument Mohawk Lifts are excellent.
