I have the same lift, the extra height is a nice feature. A couple of things worth mentioning, raise the lift off the locks before pressing the air lock release button, air supply to the release button shouldn't exceed 150 psi.....I find 70 psi works fine in my case. Also, I watch each corner when lowering to make sure each of the four corners locks has engaged. Thanks for sharing.
@@nextlevelmedia 90 psi might be more than you need, you don't want to blow the lock lines.....but it's your lift. I have a BYB also that I've had for over 25 years, I've done all the service on it and will do the same on the BendPak. Thanks for the reply.
Have a bendpak 4 post recently acquired yet to install managed to find at a steep discount from a guy on Craig’s , had been looking for sometime have a scissor lift as well . With the loss of a garage space needed the added storage this offers , can’t wait to get it assembled . Great video very informative thank you Bert
Very nice video. Do you feel that there is no need to bolt the posts to the floor? I think I still wouldn't trust it but that's cuz I have that kind of luck at times... ; o
Good question, I know it is supposed to be serviced periodically but I have never done it nor had any problems. I’m sure the hydraulic fluid should be changed at some point. I’ll have to contact my service rep.
great video. I got a question. What is the distance between the columns and the outer edge of the runaways and is the space equal on both sides?? Are they(columns, not their footprints) 5''x5'' square?
Can someone help me please? 1) Can you suggest any proven methods of installing such a lift in a garage that has a slope of at least 4-5 inches? 2) Also, would the lift shift if I don’t bolt it to the ground? (I would rather not anchor it as my concrete slab is only 4 inches thick.)
Definitely no need to bolt down. Most garages probably have a few inch decline - the installer would be able to speak to this or you can reach out to your specific lift rep - that would be the best resource. I don’t think it should be a problem.
Nice setup! Have the same lift. The support strap under the drivers side ramp has 2 large bolts on the bottom. Do the bolts dig into the Swisstrax? Mine chews up the floor every time the lift is lowered.
Yep same for me, luckily it stays in the same location. I tried contacting bendpak to address and come up with solution but got bounced around to the wrong people I guess. If you know a welder they could take care of it easily.
Definitely takes a minute to trust and get used to but it’s still rock solid and I don’t even think about it anymore. I always have a car up there too which stabilizes it.
