Every video I looked up and other forums I searched, they all had the same cord/plug.From the website:
From the manual.......
4mm*2 is just slightly larger than 12 AWG, #10 would fix that difference.
Based on the schematic, it doesn't appear to be shipped with a cord.

Question on converting/adaptor a 240v plug for 110v for 4 post lift
- Thread starter aziroc
- Start date
Even a lot of commercial lift motors are only 5 minute run time with no issue, that shouldn't be something to worry about.
Sounds like you have a solution with that 20A outlet you have. You could always see if an electrician could add another outlet off that circuit closer to the lift if you get tired of using an extension cord all the time.
If I used the 4 post as much as my 2 post, this whole issue wouldn't have even been a topic as I would have just added a dedicated line and called it good. But because I will literally have this thing in the air for the next few months while I get the wifes 99 ws6 ready for its ls3/trans swap, I was just trying to find the easiest way (cheapest) to get the car up in the air without breaking the bank.

We've discussed before manufacturers putting 5-15P on machines rated at 20A. Welders and air compressors come to mind.
Yup... I can easily blow a 15 amp breaker with my cheap Chinese mig welder when it's cranked up and I'm running beads. 20 amp holds just fine .5-15P on machines rated at 20A. Welders and air compressors come to mind.

That makes no sense. Both types of lifts can be powered with a 240v motorI wont put words in a company's mouth but the lift company said that type of plug is very common on 4 post lifts where as 2 post lifts are ment for 240v.

Welders are a special animal that cant be compared to motors

I meant specifically a 140A machine rated to pull 20A but with a 15A plug. Or are you saying that is done intentionally for the same reasons you can put a 50 amp receptacle on the end of wire rated for less?Welders are a special animal that cant be compared to motors
