Well and here it is the Ideal 6000 Lbs single post car lift in action so far so good and I'm loving it did already some upgrades to it and as you can see it'll lift a full size SUV no problem. I will come back after a year or so to do a final review on it but as of right now I'm impressed and I hope it stays that way

I was just looking at these today. They're now $5999.99 Canadian. I have a mid rise scissor lift and love it, but it does limit some activities. I'm sure I'd get used to it but it does seem kinda wobbly. I'd be afraid having to really bear down on a breaker bar that I'd upset the balance.

@CountryMileGarage Год назад

I use a tall adjustable jack stand on the opposite side of the post and that gives a ton extra stability. I've used it on every car van and SUV that comes through the shop and 0 problems and I do a lot of engine and transmission repairs. Thank you for watching

There’s not a 2 post lift or any type of column lift I’ve worked with that the car don’t wobble on it, it’s inevitable. Under hoist jacks and in front and rear of vehicle and it eliminates all front the back wobble

We used to have something similar 25 years ago in the first shop I worked in but back then it was bulky and huge . It had its own controls to move it and it was limited on ground clearance . If you wasn't careful you would bend a driveshaft . It's amazing how much things change but use same principle of function. Pretty cool lift . Make sure your reel can handle the amps mine smoked using a battery charger on it .

@CountryMileGarage 3 года назад

Interesting I seen the ones like what I got but never a old one. Thank you Kevin and is a 20amp motor so I bought a 20amp cord reel so it should be good

@kevinfrye1822 3 года назад

@@CountryMileGarage As long as it's a good one you should be safe those Chinese ones like to fudge the numbers. It wasn't the cord on mine it was the contacts on the reel . Granted I did have it for years .

Great video! Thanks for sharing. I’m in the decision making phase right now but seeing yours makes a ton of sense because I am concerned with a scissor lift I can’t drop a transmission as easily. This one seems like it would make the job easier.

I liked your video on the lift and the retractable electrical Cord. I do have a question mine when assembled I noticed the hydraulic cylinder that pushes the lift upward moves freely from side to side with no support when the lift is down. And not being used. Is this supposed to be that way. Appreciate your help

@CountryMileGarage 3 года назад

Mine has some play in it as well I'm sure its normal. So it will center it self on the chain.

@sfcd4757 2 года назад

serious i was not thinking this was ideal (before watching)..ive been researching 100 different lifts and because of the non concrete issue i have, it would be actually worth it.... a couple of quick questions because i think im liking this over all of them. 1. 110 or 220 (plug or hard wired?) 2. does it lift any higher than the video..not that i need it to go too high, i was hoping for just a tad higher than the video (chest level) for brakes, suspension for maximum comfort 3. its not bolted to the ground at all? if i got one, i would probably get one or two extra tall jack stands as a precaution backup, as you can never be too safe when it matters.

@CountryMileGarage 2 года назад

110 volts but I installed a cord reel so I don't have to drag a extension cord around lol and yes it'll go just as high as a regular lift but my celling is only 10 ft tall And it's NOT bolted to the ground and you can move it around really easy that was for me the #1 seller on this because of "limited" space in my shop. With SUVs and pickup trucks I use a jackat the far end of the main beam to help make it more stable. hope this helps and thank you for watching

Hey like your setup.. I have one of these units.. Question for you. Does the ram have play from side to side when no weight is on the carrier, is this normal??
