I just recently bought a mid-rise scissor lift, which is supposedly made in China as many of the similar lifts that can be purchased on internet. I want to talk to you about options that I was considering and why I chose this specific lift.
Hope this will help me with my DIY projects on my cars :)

The slow drop is a safety feature in case the lower is triggered whilst someone is still underneath. To give them warning and time to escape. It’s a feature on industrial units.

I bought one of these generic lifts several years ago and am very happy with it. Very strong and simple to use. The big advantages are ease of use with a wide variety of vehicles, no need to modify the floor to use it (they spread the load over a huge area) and they are relatively easy to move around with the provided wheel set. They are a very good compromise for a home garage and can be easily taken with you if you move house. Be aware that they don't seem to ship with any grease in the pivot points, so hit them hard with grease on initial install.

​@@AlfisGarage Hello, do you know how to set the lowering speed of the lift with a load?
@AlfisGarage
@AlfisGarage Месяц назад
@@seweryndymkowski5085 there is unfortunately just 1 setting for lowering speed - because the lift doesn’t know of there is load or not. If you set it slow while there is car on the lift, it will be really slow if the lift is empty. It is set by simple screw on the hydraulic pump that you loosen/tighten and it is regulating how fast the fluid can go thru that valve.

Thanks for the well done video. I am in the exact same situation. Two cars in a two-car garage with around 2 1/2 m ceiling height. I purchased a similar lift sold under the brand K Tool in the USA. It was a difficult decision due to lack of videos on the subject. FYI I am very pleased with mine after nearly a year.

I have been looking for a budget lift for my garage here in the US. I really don’t care if it’s made in China as long as it’s solidly built and it’s within my budget. I like the design of this one and it seems pretty well made to me. Plus it has that open middle area which I want. And I have to say you did a good job rerouting all those lines. The electrical work was done very well…..kudos my friend.

There is a chrome pin at the top of the rams you need to check the position and tightness of the grub screws ,plus the magnetic push piston that lift the ratchet latches need to be kept clean from dust build up , other wise the lift is good for years use.Any problems with the lift not lifting look at the trip switch near the safety latch as these can get damaged very easily .You have to drive your car so the engine is over the hydraulic rams or you can bend the lift with a heavy car.👍

Interesting video, nice product, and very tidy work. Maybe this is a silly question, but couldn't you have just turned the lift around to put the fittings on the side you needed? Does it matter which way the lift is oriented? Thanks, and cheers from Canada.
@AlfisGarage
@AlfisGarage 5 месяцев назад
Thanks for watching - not a silly question at all - I reckon I should have clarified that in the video. You can turn the lift around, but the engine needs to be at front part of the lift - there is even a warning sticker on the lift reminding of this. Reason for that is that the rear "legs" are moving towards the front when it is raised. Therefore cars which are front heavy (ie. most FWD cars) the weight needs to be at the leg which is not moving - otherwise in extreme situation, the car could fall off the lift. This is unlikely to happen as usually the weight difference between front and rear is not huge - but it is better to be safe than sorry :)

3.5 seconds is probably the required lift time for a full load (3500kg) vehicle. If your vehicle is half that you can get away with half the back off time to lower the vehicle. Just keep in mind if you ever put a Tesla on it (3000kg in some models) the back off time won’t be long enough and you won’t be able to lower the lift without modifying the timer.

You can drive on to the lift from both sides but Front of the car should be at the front of the lift, due to the way how scissor legs move and cars are usually heavier at the front.

Still work good but I don't trust it locking mechanism. So I only raise up to about 18 to 24 inch and put solid wood blocks under 4 tires just incase hydraulic fail. Raise 18 to 24 inch high is sufficent for most jobs you need to do for your car. I have replaced transmission using that setup. Better be safe than sorry.

Front of the car should be at the front of the lift, due to the way how scissor legs move and cars are usually heavier at the front. If I would turn it around, I would have to reverse onto the lift to be able to use it. I’ll do a follow up video, as this question was raised couple of times :)

Possibly yes, but if I’d turn the lift around, the front side would be at the door and I would have to backup onto the lift. The engine of the car should be at the front of the lift. Also the hose would be a bit too short to put the control panel the way I wanted.

Bonjour, Un pont qui est bien pratique pour certains travaux mais, pas très pratique pour faire des gros travaux dessous à cause de sa hauteur minimale ou alors, prévoir une fosse au centre sur la longueur mais ça demanderait un travail en maçonnerie et un calcul pour éviter que le pont ne tombe pas...

Bonjour, of course you are correct - it is easier to work underneath a two-post lift, but that wouldn't fit in any usual home garage + I couldn't raise the car any higher anyway. Also two post lift takes up a lot more room. As you say, you could "dig a hole" but that is not an option for me :)

You can do that too, but front of the car should be at the front of the lift due to cars are mostly front heavy and the rear section of the legs is moving towards the front when your raising the lift.

If I would turn it around, I would have to reverse onto the lift. BTW - it may seem a bigger struggle than it was, but I swapped the lines and cables in about an hour and half... and that was with filming.

@@AlfisGarage Interesting. It's 220 in UK and I don't think I've ever seen power adaptors for sale meant for Europe other than 220 or 240 (old UK domestic voltage) Google also seems to think that the voltage used throughout Europe has been harmonised at 230v since January 2003 (though it does state that it doesn't mean there has been a real change in the supply) Certainly in the UK 3 phase is only really found in commercial buildings such as garages/machine shops etc.
