iDEAL MSC-6KLP 6,000 lb Single Post Portable Lift 

You’re very welcome, glad it helped!

I dont think you'd want to move cars with it

You can’t move this once a vehicle is on it and you technically could park a very small car under it. Small like a triumph spitfire lol.

Yes, we actually have small metal plates that we put under the wheels to help with any sinking issues.

Yep, still working good!

Do you like it

@@jonkastanek7367 Yes works pretty good, if I had more room I would have bought a 4 post lift. For what I like to do I also have sidexside and tractors. Mine is rated for 7,000lbs. I put a Ford f150 4x4 supercrew on it.

Ok cool what's the heaviest thing you lifted with it

@@jonkastanek7367 the SuperCrew

@@bucket1249 I'd like at least a 7000 lb version. What brand and model did you get?

We all have our opinions and that’s fine. This thing has been great for us and our size shop. We were a little sketched about it at first but if you practice safety this thing is just about as good as any 2 or 4 post lift.

yeah, should fit on it. the arms are pretty adjustable.

That lip will be very to get over even with the palette jacked up. You would need 3 or more guys to help get it over.

Have you ever tried to roll a pallet jack ot a floor jack over a zip tie?

We have left it outside with a tarp thrown over it. You can't lay it down it's to heavy to lift it back up.

​@jerseyshoreautorepair1727 they said they will void the 5 yr warranty if it's outside. How long have you kept it outside? Also could 3 guys tilt the top to clear a residential garage door ? My garage is tall enough just not the door. Thoughts???

Never tried it but it should work fine. It has the same distance in the front as the rear.

Yes this would not be good for engine replacing or trans work. Brake work, oil changes, tune-ups, axles etc are what it’s good for.

yes, lowered cars are a pain. I would not recommend this unit for them.

Lowered cars shouldn't exist anyways.

@@brainwashedliberals hahaha. you do sound like a brainwashed liberal here.

@@brainwashedliberalsyou shouldn’t exist

@@Orange14444 It was $2,000 delivered to the shop. As long as you have the ceiling height it can go high enough for you to stand underneath it no problem.

@@jerseyshoreautorepair1727 wow! You got a deal on that thing! They are selling for over $5,000 nowadays! And that is good to know that I am able to stand under it like a traditional lift. Thank you for taking the time to respond!

@@Orange14444 yes, we got lucky lol. And you’re welcome!

There is a marker on the lift that shows the center of gravity that the vehicle must be over. This is a great investment for your home shop no doubt. And yes you can make any brackets and bolt them down, we have thought about doing that.

You use jackpoints on the vehicle, no guess work necessary

yes you can do that. But, if you have the room, pull in your vehicle and then push the lift under it. We don't have the room in the shop so every time we have to drive over the lift and have someone guide in.

@@gordonhampton3429 not sure of the weight, but one person can move it around on a smooth surface. If there are any lips of the garages, or dents in the floor you will need more than one person to get it over that type stuff.

That depends on the vehicle. Smaller vehicles you do still do all that.

It depends on the weight/length. Honestly, probably not.

It's still holding up great. Had a 5900 pound jeep on it today, no problems!

@@jerseyshoreautorepair1727 that's awesome to hear, one of my project vehicles weigh 5800lbs and was skeptical of getting close to that max weight rating. Great looking piece. I have 4 post lifts currently and they are great for storage but suck for working on vehicles with (no access to the wheels, brakes, suspension without further using a bridge jack on top of the 4 post. I think this single post may be the best solution. Cheers!

It’s very sturdy, only vehicles that are close to 6,000lb it shakes a little.

It gets delivered and you do have to assemble it yourself. It took two of us to set it up.

Not sure if it would lift those, but our guess is yes. The arms are pretty adjustable.

True, but we’ve had 5900 lbs on it and it still worked alright. Just keep checking the lift

Luis Almeida we have not done any transmission replacements on this lift yet. The bar could be in the way depending on what vehicle it is. Smaller cars with the transmissions on the side (like civics) wouldn’t be a problem. Others could.

Only on the passenger side. The driver side is fine.

It’s been great, still going strong! Yes you can do that on here but you do have the bottom support that could possibly be in the way. The front of the vehicle should hang over far enough to get it done.

@@jerseyshoreautorepair1727 Awesome. Thanks. I was looking at my cars. Looked like it should work. Been doing alot of reaserch. I have a "kwiklift ramp" and quickacks and want somthing that can go higher and make life alot easier and possibly replace the kwiklift ramp. Few more questions! Could you put the lift against a wall? I know you need space to pull the pallet handle but how much? Also my mustang is real low (autocross car) similar to corvette height, can you drive over this with low cars? I see you guys are moving it around. I want to leave it on one side of my garage. Sorry for the long message. MUCH APPRECIATE THE RESPONSE!

@@SenpaiMC7 That’s no problem at all! The low vehicle will most likely not be able to drive over it. If you have enough space in the garage, (like a two car garage) pull the lift to one side, drive the car in then slide the lift under the vehicle.

Something very small like an MG midget. But nothing like any cars of today.

I would say no. Any truck is hard to put on this.

Why is that? Because of lift arm adjustability? Just curious because I’ve been thinking about getting one and I have a 2022 Silverado 1500. Curb weight is 5100lbs or so, so it’s under max capacity. If the arms reached the frame, I’d just use some tall safety stands if I needed to raise it up high.

@@joem4746 it will be very wobbly with a long truck on it and will feel unsafe, trust me we tried that on a few trucks and we have had hundreds of different vehicles on the lift.

it depends on the weight and how the frame is setup

If the truck is 6,000lb or under, then yes.

このリフトをお勧めします！

I know from seeing it on video it might feel like that but in person you would be surprised at how stable it is.

You can but it would have to be a low car.

They are alot better looking in person, we reviewed the entire thing before assembling. If it looked bad/broken we would have not trusted it and returned it. But it’s been fine after 2 years of use.

You can pump up the lift manually to move it, you only need about 3-5 pumps and it can be moved.

That depends on where the tank is located. If it is more in the middle of the vehicle then yes this bar will be in the way, but more further in the back you will have no problems.

Yeah it depends on your situation.

From the video it does look too narrow but it's really not when you see it in person. We have had trucks that weight just about 6,000 and even one that was 6,100 lb.
