Rolling bridge jack for advantage hd9000 lift

[gwrodzhi]

Tried searching around but I cannot find a definitive answer as to what rolling bridge jack will fit my lift. I purchased my lift about 4 years ago and I am looking to add a rolling bridge jack to it. I called advantage and they said theirs should be available again in the next few months but will be around $2400. I can wait but was wondering if anyone had luck with some of the cheaper options. I do want one that rolls instead of slides. Any input would be greatly appreciated.

I don't know what is going on with them. I picked up their air-operated rolling bridge jack last year and had to wait a few months then. They don't show my two year old Backyard Buddy Classic on their website anymore and they claim that some of the Advantage lifts are now USA assembled. Not sure how they can say that when you get it unassembled. Very strange. I think Wildfire makes jacks that will work.

Yea I saw that. I couldn't get confirmation from them that it would and I am hesitant to spend all that money on something that may not work. The rep I spoke to said they are setting up production in us for bridge jack.

There are some threads here on cross compatibility but they may not cover this specific lift. Worth searching. Most are on cheaper options for Bendpak but not all and some of the Bendpak threads discuss other lifts.

You'll find that most on the market have are width adjustable. This one for instance (literally the very first Google result) is adjustable for rails between just 33.8" to 45.6".

What you want to know if you have low cars is the height above the runners with the jack fully down. You also want to make sure the jack does. Of but the floor and raise off the channels when the lift is on the ground. The runners and lips on the runners for rolling jacks may not be all standardized.

You'll find that most also include dimensions like those above.

Advantage service is terrible... I researched for years before buying the DX-9000XLT. It's a great lift, but getting anyone from their service department to address anything is pathetic. I had a number of scratches and rubbed off (scuffed to metal) areas and they never responded to my email about touch-up paint. Had a bad hydraulic hose and it took 6+ weeks to get them to acknowledge my outreach. I had to call sales to get anyone to pick-up the phone. Yes, I was very cordial and polite in all interactions, email, voicemail, and using sales as a conduit to get service support. I have been steering people away from purchasing Advantage so they've lost several customers because of my honest feedback to friends/friends of friends. Service and support is key and makes or breaks a product IMO.

Thanks for the replies, this purchase keeps getting pushed back so I will probably revisit in a few months. I had an issue with a hydraulic line as well but I did not have any issues with their service. Had a new one in a few days after a brief call. Guess it depends on who you get like any other company unfortunately. I am very happy with the lift though. Seems super solid even with a 2500 diesel truck on it.

You might call Wildfire and ask... their customer service is top notch.

I'd measure mine for you, but I'm 900 miles away and won't be home for two more weeks...
