I paid a separate agent. I don’t know how far it would have come without one. I was afraid it would sit on a dock somewhere awaiting a document.

That looks identical to the lift I bought 5 (?) years ago. I love it! I wonder if the seller has accurate info about tariffs. Generally they are very responsive to questions. I think auto translate is making communication easier.

No air in the hydraulic system, I ran the lift up and down several times, checked the hydraulic hoses, inlet lines, fittings for tightness and damage... THEN I remembered a problem a few months ago, where the coiled air pressure line to the safety lock disconnects had developed a split. That...

My lift started making an odd noise today. When I press the "down" button there is a loud cavitating-fluid type noise coming from the lift (not the pump box). It is quiet when I press the "lock" button and the lift lowers. As long as I hold the "down" button, the noise continues coming from...

Last I checked, the Chinese lift I bought was about the same price. But shipping has doubled or tripled!

I’m excited! What a great garage.

Thanks! I thought I'd just screen grab my missing photos and upload them directly. Now !@#Y$ I'm getting the "oops we ran into some problems..." error. Apparently I can create a new post with an attachment, but I cannot edit my old post. I tried to edit the same post above and add one...

Oops… https://www.garagejournal.com/forum/threads/in-ground-flush-mount-scissor-lift.406632/post-7735318

I looked up one of my old threads and the picture links all appear dead. However they still connect if I hover and click the blue (?) question mark blocks individually. I tried two different browsers on both iPhone and desktop machines. I recall the photos used to show up while viewing the...

My Chinese full rise flush scissor lift is indeed 12” tall when compressed. I don’t have steel edging on my bunkers and haven’t had any problems with edges cracking. However I like the idea of steel angles to edge the bunkers and close any gaps. It depends how precisely your bunkers are...

The freight warehouse loaded my lift on my trailer using a forklift. No charge. I lashed it down and drove home…with some hydraulic oil dribbling from one box. I unloaded the boxes at my house using an engine hoist. I used the engine hoist to lower the scissor lift into the concrete bunker...

Could you put the rubber blocks under the box frame instead of the pinch welds? Alternatively, I keep pieces of 2x6 to use for spacers under the rubber blocks.

I’ve only relevelled mine once in the last year. Suppose you still have air in the system?

The lift platforms make excellent adjustable height work benches. That stow away flat when you’re done!

MR2 Spyder. I do like the idea of having the center box cut out in the floor. I have put a foot into the bunker on mine (on purpose) a few times to get more Comfortable.
