    2 post BendPak install hints/tips?

    I just had the cables sticking out the top when I raised the columns. I made no attempt to tie them up. One cable came loose from the carriage but it wasn't very difficult to reach in and hook it back into place once the column was upright. I was very careful with the layout on the floor and...

    Please help me pick a 2 post lift

    I just finished installing a BendPak 10,000 lb. XPR-10A-168 lift in my shop. It took two full days (with the help of a friend) to assemble it, and another full day to wire it up. Not too bad considering neither of us old guys had ever installed a lift before. The lift is well made but I thought...

    Is it okay to run 120V and 240V in the same conduit?

    I talking earth ground. Except for the common ground both circuits will be totally separate each with their own breaker. The 120V circuit will have a hot, neutral, and a ground. The 240V circuit will be 2 hot wires and a ground.

    Is it okay to run 120V and 240V in the same conduit?

    Thanks! I plan on using 10 gauge for the 240V circuit and 12 gauge for the 120V circuit. So if I use 10 gauge for the common ground will I be good to go?

I have a 2 pole 25A breaker in my panel and plan on running 10 gauge THHN wire to the lift in ¾ inch EMT. I also have a spare single pole 20A breaker in the panel and was...

    Getting power to a 2 post lift

    A 120 outlet on the lift sure would be handy. The electrician ran 3 separate 10 gauge wires in about 40' of 3/4 EMT to the ceiling box. I am thinking there is plenty of room in the conduit for three additional 12 gauge wires. I realize I would have to pull out the existing 10 gauge then pull...

    Getting power to a 2 post lift

    I like the idea of running either flexible conduit, or an AC whip down to a box mounted to the top of the post. I will run EMT down the post. I also like the idea of a safety disconnect switch on the post. Amazon has this 30-Amp 240-volt Two-Pole Light Duty Safety Switch for $30. I'm going to...

    Getting power to a 2 post lift

    I have a new 2 post lift and I need to hook up the power. When I built the shop the electrician installed a 240V 30 amp circuit in the ceiling directly above where I am installing the lift. The box is 5 ft. above the top of the lift and 14 ft. above the power unit. I am thinking about using...
