Auto Lifts for Garage

[budnate]

in a nut shell what I learned really digging into this .

backyard looks like the best 4 post, no doubt. he claims 6 weeks back log, there cant be that many people buying them steady???, I say bs, he is taking orders until he has a wad of $$ then builds them. don't matter it is what is.

the others are made over seas and like the little pocket bikes some plants are better than others.

what they do over there is buy stuff and reverse Engineer it, some plants do a better job and some plants get another plants item and do it with there's and so on..that where they get crappy fast

they are shipped back bare steel to avoid tariffs or something like that, they are powder coated in Cali it appears and resold from down there by the lift pimp in your area.

the pumps are bought and hung on them here, some are ok some are crap...so I am told, who knows for sure. but definitely they are diff brands going on them

I am told the loose cable thing is because they are not tensioned right when assembled????

the claim is why some fail is the steel is not very good, basically they are not getting the tencil strength right and no one is testing...so some of crap steel we are shipping over is coming back as lifts,lol.

that being said, we all have seen a pic of a leg bent out or heard stories about them going down....do we have anyone that has actually had one go down or your close friend lose one???? I have not heard of one locally going down...

there claim is people are doing stupid stuff with them to make them fail..I said like what running it up and down how is that hard on it????, they said lifting stuff or jamming the locks open when it goes down, again I say so what it's supposed to go down anyway...

anyway any real the "car was parked and lift locked and I went out in the shop to find my lift broke" story.
