Do you know if the ATLAS is ANSI rated? i didn't see anything on their webpage. seems like the bendpak has a lot more certifications. Are you talking about this one? https://www.gregsmithequipment.com/Atlas-9KBP-Baseplate-9-000-lbs.-Capacity-2-Post-Lift that is the same price as the Triumph...

Same here. I wasn't looking forward to shimming and making sure it is square, but it sounds like its easier than i imagined. I will be attempting to do mine myself.

Wow awesome video, i didn't even bother searching for a test video like that just assumed nobody has done it. And yea thats what i do with cheap tow straps. i derate them by half in my head, so if it says 1,000 lb its 500. anything harbor freight is like that. i guess in China they don't care...

so you used the cherry picker to just move the box from point a to b, not to actually erect the columns? (I don't see how that would work). and dang, i need to befriend a fork lift driver.

I just looked up that WEN system pretty neat. However what i do is run a 20x20 box fan and just bungee cord a 20x20 HVAC filter. I've done this in almost every house i rented, in my grandmas house she has really bad mold/meldew smell and i was able to get rid of it with two filters in the house...

Well that is actually the most helpful suggestion I've heard so far, very valid point. its not like i can return it easily, so the extra $1k, verses the probability of me having to pull it down to do warranty exchange is a good insurance policy. When I first started looking at lifts, i thought...

So you didn't need a material lifter or fork lift type thing? just man power? good to know. Maybe you can help with this question, im in the air right now on a Bendpak GP-7LCS which is the sub 9' lift for small garages, its around $3200, and also looking at the Triumph NT-9 9K which is way...
