I GOT A FRIGGIN HOIST!!! DIY TUFFLIFT install - The Iron Empire EP 112 

IDK man, i'd be keen to drill some dyna bolts in those posts for piece of mind! Very nice hoist!

Everyman's dream to have a hoist in the shed, kicking goals

I've been waiting for you to get a hoist for your shed and now you have one. You little beauty!

Dream shed. Perhaps even dream house 👌 Saturday mornings are my favourite because of the iron empire 🤙

Mark, I put one of these in 6 months ago, but got a professional installer to do it (because I am old). I hadn't planned to bolt my legs down, but as I was never going to have to move it, I opted to get the bloke to bolt it down. He levelled and squared it with a laser, shimmed each bolt hole and the difference in stability was astounding. Once you have settled on your preferred location, consider securing it. If you want to move it, it is simply a matter of buzzing off 16 nuts.

The hoist will make working on projects so much easier, well done. 👍

That's a friggin ripper Mark!! Your back will thank you in years to come 👍🍻

Been following your channel pretty much since the beginning, This is massive news!! Really happy for you Mark, this hoist is going to help make even better content for the Empire channel!!

Congratulations Mark, you and Andy make an awesome couple. You both have been knocking out your projects!

Awesome video Mark. Great job putting it together, thanks for the Tufflift wrap !! - Chris @ Tufflift Hoists Australia

Looks great Mark. I was excited with you guys 😆 Great team effort. Even Judge looked keen 😆

Looks great but safety comes first dude. Once you find your sweet spot for the hoist...bolt it down. You also made that insulation look easy 😜💪👍

That's so cool 😎 I've wanted one for so long. I've seen my mates have put a mirror up the front of them to help guide you on. Even fixed to the back of a roller tool box, it's also handy for doing a light check.

I'm in Brisbane but next time I'm in SA which will probably be never i will drop in and borrow that hoist ! Great stuff Mark, the shed is really becoming a proper mechanical work shop.

Congrats - when you get a hoist you've "made it". A mate had a tuff lift 4 poster in a business and it was a constant source of frustration and failure with stretching cables and alignment going out of whack. Just keep a close eye on it. If you can get a height limit bar/switch I'd add that in rather than hitting the shed roof. I ended up getting a second hand Rav 2 poster clear floor for about $1500. It's a beast. Because it's screw driven there's no locks clacking away and you can dial it to the perfect height. Had to go 2 post due to the location and needing to drive a forklift through there. The Rav manual specified Hilti dyna bolts and those were a couple of hundred plus another hundred for the concrete drill bit. The 3 phase cable and plug was about $300 to make up. Definitely the best investment I've made. Weekends are more productive as jobs get smashed out way quicker.

i have the same hoist with the jack as you mark bought it about 3 years ago its the best thing i have ever bought you will love it i have had no problems with it at all i am so glad i went with a 4 post over a 2 post like you i spent months researching . Tuff Lift were great to deal with i live in tassie and it was delivered in a week great customer service i highly recommend Tuff Lift

I added a 4 post hoist to my shed a few years ago and it appears the grease nipples that screw in on each post where the pulleys are , are missing on yours, unless you put them in after the video. The other item thats worth adding is a piece of angle iron to protect where the hydraulic line goes through the side of the rail. It protects the hydraulic connection in the event you drive off the edge. Good job on the instal. Only other tips is balance the pads in the centre with the engine crane and use wheel dolleys under the ends to move the as delivered unit around.

Nice work man, love the YZ in the background.

Some serious shed envy - great work, enjoy 😉 👍

Awesome work Mark! You’re giving me some inspo to get my shed finally finished and get the hoist sorted.

Question: have you used dynabolts to secure the legs? I’ve seen a few of these spread eagle themselves with cars at full lift when not bolted down

Certainly suss when U saw you lift car without it being bolted to the ground hahah. I couldnt trust it, even if it is meant to be semi-portable. Great investment / inclusion to a shed!

Nice one bro u deserve it. Ive been waiting with u for so long to get this stoked u finaly did it. Also u and the misses make a great team on both channels. U guys are killing it.

Oh man that wobble is still a bit scary haha YZ there looks awesome!

great addition to the shed... well done !!

Got the same hoist and jacking beam. It’s a game changer for sure. Mine isn’t bolted down either. Wheel it outside for doing filthy work. Solid as a rock 👌🏻

Loving the shed progress Mark, awesome to see you achieving your goals, the hoist looks good, but please bolt it down if you're going to be standing under it or wrenching on vehicles on it causing it to wobble.

Cheers for the tips and tricks.. Finished my lift today 13/10/23. Awesome product!!!

Well done dude. I have three of those hoists in my my shed. They are fantastic!!

Well done man good stuff it's gonna make life so much easier with that hoist u deserve it

Sick new addition! Seems crazy it doesn't need to be bolted down, but you were giving it a good nudge and it wasn't going anywhere. Good attachments too.

I’m not angry or disappointed….. just jealous 😁😁😁😁👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

Fantastic!! things are on the up and up.....🤣

Great hoists, I have 2 tuff lift 2 post hoists .had the company install them for piece of mind . Yes definitely recommend them

Definitely one of the best things i did in my shed i found a 2 post was my opinion i do like the 4 post its just the room it takes up

Nice addition 👍 I’d be bolting it to the ground makes me nervous seeing you stand under it 😂

I was thinking to buy the same hoist, haven't been able to find a big enough umbrella to cover it in case of rain🤠

Having a hoist is a massive win, you will be kicking yourself for not getting your old hoist out of storage and into use for all these years! I've only got a 2 poster, but I love it. Can't live without it these days!

That’s awesome . Like others said, I’d still be bolting it down once it’s in the right spot for some peace of mind. I wonder if it would be better more central between the front and rear roller doors, that way the cars aren’t getting the double whammy of step up into the shed then the ramp onto the hoist all at once. Bit more roof height too.

A forklift might be a valuable tool to be added to the shed

Have hoist now, bring on all the future projects, more eps more fun and always learning something from your channel. Best wishes to you and Andy for Xmas..( and Judge too of course! ). May the new year bring you all the more success with the Iron Empire. Take care guys and stay safe!!

Awesome. Might have to look into one.

Love my 2 poster. Best tool ever

Please bolt it to the floor, I have the same hoist, I know they say you don't need to but all hoist installers will recommend that you bolt it to the floor.

Yes about time

So Jealous mark!!! Would love to put a hoist in my shed eventually 👍

Good one Mark, too old to be groveling on ya guts 👍👍

Love this channel ❤️

Just what you need 👍👍

Awesome. I'm grabbing one soon - can I ask why 4 post and not 2 post? I ask because 2 post has much less in the way... cheers!

It's amazing how affordable a hoist is these days

Hey mark, have you got a eBay link or deets on the up lights you installed. Awesome build, just starting mine. Can’t wait.

I’m jealous

u missed the last step bolting it to the floor

Congrats with both your channels . I enjoy both. What happened to that beautiful Maroon F truck you purchased? Keep up the awesome content you both presenting. Chris Hawkins

Good vid mark 👍👌i wish i could fit a hoist in my garage

Mark is that the TL3.6PH-S ?

Nice work Mark My brother asked if it was bolted down or it had the castors to move it around

Who needs a block and tackle when you have Andie?

its incredable how creative you can get when you want something done,grat job ,just wondering how much you paid for the hoist

Nice work mate. Glad I'm not the only one that made use of my engine crane to put mine together! Were you always going Tuff lift or did you consider/compare to Joels?

How kool is that 👌

I may have missed it but how high is your shed. At the highest mine is - 3.6 but tapers down to around 3.3M. I was also thinking about doing as you have done

PLEASE bolt it down!! Have seen first hand when they buckle from not being bolted... it aint pretty.

Do you have a solid slab there or a Styrofoam filled one?

I did watch ya shed vid but what height is your shed again. Just wondering if I could fit one in mine

I might have missed it but what model lift is this?

Awesome bro ❤❤

Good work Mark Do you think cross bracing will make it better? So it will not move at all

Nice xf❤

Your video is very nice!! This content needs "promosm".
