Saw something very similar to this back in 2009, but they used air bag suspension, had a gas Briggs and Stratton engine to operate the hydraulics and portable air compressor, but the front was different. The lift was a 12 or 15k capacity but also could be used as a trailer and was a 4 post lift. It was the coolest improvement made to these lifts. Believe they built there's for around $4500-5000 and used quite often.
I hope he is doing well with the idea. Very cool. ( Did you know Xerox rented because the price of copiers was prohibitive. Same machine...but lease rather than buy....and you have success)
Very cool , you have great products from everything I have viewed so far . I am saving up to buy your manual tire changer, cannot wait to get one , make a video of me changing one of my Harley tires for people to see in real time use . Thanks for sharing this great stuff .
Awesome. Please be sure to write a review. I have no idea how Amazon gets so many product reviews. Trying to get folks to write product reviews is crazy hard.
@@RedlineStands thanks Ian , do you guys ever have a sale on the MT 500 ? It absolutely looks like it is the best manual tire changer available, period .
@@sluf1963 Sales? No sir. The only way you'll see the price fall is if the 25% tariffs are removed, and even then, I'll have to spend about 1 year selling the machines that were imported at 25% before the price can be lowered. It's possible you'll see a price decrease in 2022....
over priced in my opinion. love the concept. Id rather pay and have one permanently installed at my house. Quick jack is a joke! Dont buy it. You could but a 2 post for equal too or less.
IMHO a great concept, but it takes too long to set it up. The design needs some minor changes to speed it up. Love the concept, probably very expensive, that's way you would have to rent it.
Let's be realistic....It takes longer when you have to stop every two seconds to explain every step to someone during an interview what you are doing. Set up time is neither here no there. I would also offer, this would already be set up at the track in the event that it would be required, much like a merch trailer, so in that sense, set up time would never be a factor. At just under 10 grand this is a drop in the bucket to serious drag racers with big sponsors. Money is not an option when a car falls of sketchy jack stands and there's a person crushed under a car.. This would have been a god send and welcome sight to the many who have changed out transmissions and rear ends on the fly while laying on their back. I give this invention and concept 👍👍 and a 10 / 10
They say said total weight was 3500lbs. Based on position of tires in relation to the hitch, I would guess tongue weight at 1750 lbs, or half of the total weight.
Rober, this is cost better than the concrete slap foundation and it is Mobile. I like the idea, but really how much you are selling complete set from this demo? I am not worry about the safety as long you don't rise the vehicle very high, and the warranty as long as you built open-flat-bed trailer with high quality steel strength should be lasting for 20 years with pro care for daily uses. 9000lbs lift would cost @ $5K. The custom made trailer with super quality duty steels for the lift mounted on would cost $5K. My estimating should not be less than $10K total. This is about the idea, not the products quality.
Cool concept but the hitch arrangement definitely needs to be re-done. it obviously has way more tongue weight than a bumper hitch can handle as can be seen by that custom fabricated under the car ball hitch with an air bag used to cushion the bounce. It would need at least a 1 ton truck to haul that kind of tongue weight no matter how you slice it so might as well just make it a goose neck setup which will make that rig much safer. I would be willing to bet there are some serious towing safety issue going on with that setup somewhere.
Dodge Owners will be happier. Now you all can drive further, after fixing the junk every 30,000/60,000 and if you are lucky,...100,000 miles. And you won't need a garage. It would cost a lot to build a garage too accommodate a lift like that if it weren't on the trailer.
@@lostintime8651And Ford is fine still at 300,000/500,000 miles and Cummings and Mitsubishi don't count, they aren't made by shit ass Chrysler. Chrysler makes Cummings and Mitsubishi look bad when their engines are put in Chrysler. They haven't made anything good since the 70s.
not only that but unless you have some kind of business that is in need of a mobile lift you would never take it anywhere, why would you. it's a nice novelty item for show and tells.
Most early production items are not as cheap as those that have been around a while and are mass produced. I’m sure early lifts were 6-8k and with inflation probably equates to 10k. This is a specialty tool, if you don’t need it, it’s not for you. You would spend the money on high end triple square wrenches if you didn’t work on German cars , same idea here.
