My Ever Eternal lift install photos

[Duane]

I finally got my lift installed and working after several months of work.
Here are some photos I wanted to share.
Thanks to Paul Bird and Photo(Lane) for your inspiration and advice.

Looks great! Nice job.

 

[Jmac00]

Very nice. How much to one of these lifts usually cost?

 

[Al B]

Well done!

 

[Jack Olsen]

Looks great!

 

[39Tudor]

Paul Bird really created a monster.
Your installation looks great.
Good work.

 

[NASTYZEN]

Nice instal Duane. Thank's for sharing.
I'm beginning to want one of these too. What make is your lift and power pack? Did you source it here in Canada?

 

[Cryptic1911]

Very cool!

 

[Duane]

The purchase price that I paid was $2066.00 us dollars.
The two scissor pads and the pump assembly come together as a package.
I purchased the lift directly from Ever Eternal in China. To my knowledge
There are no North American Distributors.

I know that was a ton of work, great job!

I see on there web site that they have larger capacity as well. My biggest truck weighs in at 4400 lbs.
I assume shipping is not included? How was dealing with Ever Eternal? Can you get spare parts from them easily?
I was thinking of making my own lift, but at this price there is no way I can build it for less than what they sell for. (much less of a hassle)
Thank's again

Hey, Duane, I just found you already put your photos here, looks a very nice installation.
For the Combination parts, I just send that to you last week by DHL. I think you will receive it this week.

 

[Ever-eternal]

Very nice. How much to one of these lifts usually cost?

Lift cost is FOB Shanghai 1879USD now. The freight fee from Shanghai to USA or CANADA usually need 100USD to 150USD depends on the sea port.

 

[e-tek]

Great work - and looks like there was a LOT of it!

Now you just need a car worth lifting - LOL!

 

[Duane]

Dealing with EE was great. 1st class all the way to deal with. I have not been on There website lately but please note that the lift capacity of the 6503 model is 3000 kilograms which converts to 6600 pounds !! I plan to also lift my Dodge cummins diesel 3/4 ton which weighs in at 2950 kilos.

It should lift your 4400 pound truck without a sweat.

Duane

 

[Duane]

How about lifting this. Is it worth it too you ?

 

[Ever-eternal]

Wow, what's this car? It seems inside are full of Labels? Your advertisment car?

 

[Duane]

The car is a 1968 Dodge Dart. It has been modified into a 1/4 mile drag car.

The stickers are from the all the different manufacturers who parts I have used in the car.
The engine is a W2 340 V8. The car does the 1/4 mile in 11.20 seconds@ 117 miles per hour.

Duane

 

[Duane]

Yes William. I received the parts the other day. Is the second of the combo an in line oiler?

If so how do you open it to add the oil. Or is it just a filter. No instructions about this part.

Duane

 

[Ever-eternal]

It is just a filter. No need to open it, just change the old one will be enough.

In china, it is illegal to modify the vehicle by personal~ However, such a speed not useful in many china cities because most of the big city are full of vehicles and you will always have trafic jam everyday.

 

[tc-cad]

what was the price to get it through customs? Or don't you have to do that in Canada?

 

[Duane]

Getting the shipment into Canada is a challenge. I had to apply to the government as a business importer, declare whether they need to collect income tax from me etc. All just formalities, but it had to be done. Then arranging freight is a challenge as well. Best to hire a freight forwarder. The entire process was an experience, because you are importing from another country.
Total cost for shipping and importing was around $ 900.00.

Duane

 

[Ever-eternal]

That's a big cost, maybe find a forwarder will be cheaper?

Duane,

Looks great!

How do you like using your lift so far? I use mine quite often as saw horses or work stations, really handy and quickly adjustable.

[jdieter]

Does anyone know the thread on the hydraulic tank bottom drain. I would like to add a valve to mine?

 

[xrdad]

Something else to add to my 'want' list!
Looks good Duane!

 

[daveroy]

Can you raise one platform without the other... that would be the ultimate. Use one platform (with a wheel chock) for the Bike work, and then both together for the auto work.

 

[MetalMangler]

daveroy: When I asked that same question a while back the answer I got was yes, you can raise one only. (I am willing for someone with hands-on experience to correct me if I'm wrong) I believe there is a disconnect valve or something similar. I'm not sure what if anything would need to be done to re-equalize the two afterwards.

I think this is a perfect arrangement for the average garage. It takes up no space when not in use, is full lift height, allows access between the 2 units for transmition work and can be used as a work station/bench for those of us that do the ocasional wood working project.

 

[Thorold]

Duane Upshaw ? I may have had a hand in building that car .....

Good to see you are on here, Man.

Randy

 

[Spire]

Duane,

Maybe you can help me out, I am going to pour a shop floor this weekend and want to leave space in the pex tubing layout for this lift in the future.

From what I can tell a 7 foot by 7 foot open space with no tubes should be enough. I am also going to run a conduit to the area, is a 2" conduit adequate?

This seem about right to you?

 

[PCO6]

what was the price to get it through customs? Or don't you have to do that in Canada?

We invented customs.

Nice job Duane.

 

[Duane]

Randy Paget Yes you did have a hand in building the car. Glad to here from you. As you can see I still have it and am still at it in the garage Lol. Hope all is well with you and the family.
I am in the phone book, look me up some time.

Duane

 

[Ever-eternal]

Can you raise one platform without the other... that would be the ultimate. Use one platform (with a wheel chock) for the Bike work, and then both together for the auto work.

There is a Valve to control the Hydraulic line. You can block one line and then use only one side platform. This function is necessary because when you use it for Auto, you need to keep the two platform at the same height.

 

[Ever-eternal]

Hey, Duane, i receive a lot emails from Canada these days. They all say that they are friends of you and want to buy one. Really thanks for your share.

His car is not driven on public roads much. It was built for the Race track.

 

[jfitz]

Have you tried lifting your Cummins yet?
I am interested as I have a 2500 MegaCab with the Hemi (so a little lighter) but obviously longer. This lift would be right at its MAX.

 

[Duane]

Yes you can do this by simply opening the synchronizing ball valve. Only one platform will rise and lock.

Duane

 

[Duane]

No I have not tried lifting the Cummins yet. The truck has been in the body shop getting painted. But I have weighed the truck and it is within the lift capacity. I will let you know when I try it.

Duane

 

[NASTYZEN]

Aw man I want one soooooo bad!
Gotta buy a 48V battery for the fork lift first though... That's gonna set me back for a while.
Nice to see the guy from ever eternal on this thread. It makes it all more legit for me ,having dealt with China before.....
When it's time to get one, perhaps a few of us Canuckians could get together to make it a little less painful in the pocket when we clear the border.
