Not sure if you are aware of how the I10 operates as opposed to other lifts. The I10 is a pull design and it looks like the VLE10 is a push design. With a pull design, this means when the lift arms are in the air, the hydraulic cylinders are retracted. Keeps the piston rod cleaner if you...

Hi PatDubois, Not to hijack your response to Tommy.... but are you a representative for AC Hydraulic? If so, I just wanted to give you some feedback regarding the DK20Q packaging. If not.. disregard my rant :) I recently purchased 2 of these for my shop. I'll admit, these are very nice...

This refers to the I10 I guess it would be silly to have the anchors be the sole decision factor in choosing a lift.. however it may be useful to know what the manufacture includes so you know what the anchor spacing and edge spacing should be. At least they didn't include no name brand...

One more thing... the Forward I10/F10 are both single piece columns. Which means they are over 12' long. The Atlas is only about 9.5 ft long. This may make a difference on arranging transportation.

I can't really say that one would be better than the other. Multiple lifts have the same style of "versametric" arms, Challenger, Bendpak, Forward.. Rotary... One thing is that the Forward is ALI certified while the PV10 is not. You have to step up to the PVL-10 in order for it to be ALI...

Forgot to mention that the included wedge anchors were Hilti Kwik bolt 3... however YMMV

Hi.. So if I am thinking right.. these would be the I10 and F10 lifts from Forward.. info is available on forwardlift.com Both lifts are ALI certified. Difference between the I10 and F10 is the arms. The I10 has the spot rite arms which allow asymmetric loading. F10 has standard 3 stage...

I maybe a little late, but just wanted to say thanks to racerboy...for the details of his problems with pictures.. and his resolution. that picture of the smoking motor made my day :lol: After seeing that I would have totally went the route you did and secure a new motor. Glad you got it...

Oh.. and one more thought... the Forward models I believe are self bleeding.. The weaver has bleed screws on top of the cylinders and requires manual bleeding. Weaver 18. Oil Filling & Bleeding: Use Dexron III ATF, or Hydraulic Fluid that meets ISO 32 specifications. Remove fill-breather cap...

Don't know if this is a deal breaker or not for either model but just wanted to throw this out there... The Forward I10 and DP10 are both direct pull designs.. the weaver is a push. I honestly don't think it makes a difference but some companies argue one is better than the other...

Hi I don't think I can answer all the questions, but I can give my 2 cents worth. the VRV5-8 was/is available with 2 motor options.. either a 1725 or a 3450 rpm motor. With either motor, the compressor specs are as follows 125 PSI Rating 805 RPM, 23.5 CFM disp., 19.1 CFM del'y 175 PSI...

Here is some fun reading. I am not a generator expert but I do find this stuff quite fun. https://www.smokstak.com/forum/showthread.php?t=55097 This helps make everything clear as mud. :) I myself have a little 8 kva rated generator head mated to a small cat (perkins) powerpack diesel...

Hmm.. I was wondering.. If the this was built like I am thinking, it would run out of motor before running out of copper. In other words, overloading the generator for any appreciable amount of time would stall the engine before damaging the generator. The only way to find out would to to...

As Schul590 said, it depends on what model torque wrench as some manufactures have different models in 3/8 sizes. I am currently using torque wrench from CDI (http://www.cditorque.com/) as well as the split beam styles from Precision Instruments (http://www.torqwrench.com). I don't recall...

If you have the space keep both... If you don't use them both at the same time, at least you have a backup. :D If you don't have the space, keep the one that weights the most and store the other one at a friends. :thumbup:
