The subject toppled lift is a Champion Triple Stack lift. For the past couple years, this vendor has set up the Triple Stack lift at BJ with cars on it for display with no issues. Obviously, this year did not go as planned. This particular lift utilizes an air lock release system and is specifically designed to be anchored to a level, concrete floor with four anchors per post, 16 anchors. The BJ tent is on asphalt, has a slight slope, and I don’t see any evidence of anchors in the pictures. I do not know what the root cause of this particular incident was, but not being properly anchored was probable a key contributor to the outcome. Thankfully no one was hurt. I do own two Champion four-post lifts and have not had any problems with them. However I do pay very close attention to when raising and lowering cars. You need to make sure all of the locks release when lowering the lift with cars on it.
