Why does that not surprise me? I have cross threaded grease fittings and some VERY sharp edges on mine. I did find the coiled air hoses - they are attached and under the platform. Haven't used it but my initial impression is that these things are made by 'Monkeys with Hammers' - But the price...

Here's some pix of the control box. It looks like the Hyd lines exit from the bottom on the Right side. There is also a 'slot' on the back, bottom left - maybe for power? I put a 220v outlet on the wall that is higher than the box and am planning to just plug it in there. I guess you could...

Sigma I'll take a pic of the box and get the measurements. Can't do it till the weekend though I had a local guy do the garage door work - SOOO much easier! Believe it or not, there is a HellOfAlot of science involved in garage door installs... If you want em to work right. Even though I'm a...

I have not - but will now. I also don't have the coiled air hoses that attach to the safety mech. - mine are just plain tubing. I can live with the color but I think the hoses would be less likely to get snagged / cut / F'd up. And YES, I'm gonna be going nuts with all the work I have into...

Sorry guys - went off the grid a lil bit. Got my lift - here's a re cap. Lift $1480 Freight From China to Baltimore $320 Doc Fee $30 DDC $80 Port Security Fee $25 IT...

Skater - Kudo's for being so helpful and generous with your time & talent. Forums are the best thing on the web (even better than all those *** videos - not that I partake...) I participate (mostly lurk and ask ?'s) in several good forums - I always feel bad that I do more taking than giving...

Dude! STOP thinking so much - (It's a curse that lots of us suffer from!) Just get one. It SHOULD be included with the lift. Thank God for Yankee ingenuity coz Skater is a 'problem solver' and a BIG help to this group. BTW, Skater I got my arrival notice today - will be picking up soon...

Sigma I have a buddy that is an estimator for a large construction outfit in Phila. I asked him about the up-lighting, he reached out to some of his contacts and sent me the following reply to his email. I have yet to look at em all - Still not sure I want this. They seem like a lot of work to...

That's prolly how I'll proceed. Maybe cheat 2-3" - I have lots of room toward the Right. I like the sandwiched center platform - not exactly like your original rendering but a solid idea. Maybe even sink some recessed rings into it to make it easy to pull out of the hole with a cherry...

The closer I get to center, the less room I have to move around!? - unless you mean centered in the room, not centered in the right bay? If I (or anyone thinking about installing one of these) center it in the room, what happens when a car is on the lift for days,...or weeks (like when...

Here's a wider pic of my garage... It could use another clean-up. Seems like all I EVER do is pick up after myself. I'm just fixated on NOT centering this in the bay - maybe I shouldn't?

I can take a pic that shows a wider shot of the whole door / both bays. If you follow the blue tape on the Right and the line on the floor you can see where it ends at the door track. I accidentally put my paper template on the wrong line when I laid it out - the far right yellow tape...

Need some opinions.... I laid out my lift - finally figured out how to square it up in the room. I'd like some opinions on placement The yellow tape is the platforms with 29 1/2 " between them. (I may narrow that coz I have a pretty narrow street rod.) The blue tape on the Right side is the...

My Lift is on it's way! Ms. Liya sent me this pic - I'm wondering if they just send the same pic to all us 'Mericans? Notice how the nice Gray color I asked for shows up as blue ? - must be a bad camera, huh. Skater - Is this how yours was packaged? I was gonna take a trailer to get it but it...

Funny, I was just gonna ask about this. I was snapping some lines yesterday - trying to find center and square up the hole in the room and there was 4" under the string in the center of it - front to back (24'). Never did get around to side to side measuring. I have 1 floor drain in the...

StreetKing - I'm gonna go with the measurements that SuperSkater posted - for rough-in. He seems to be pretty thorough and I appreciate that fault in people. Still NOT gonna cut till I have it in house I went with Gray - coz it's my favorite color. Really doesn't matter - just happy to do...

Well, The Project Creep is at a full boil..... Had to raise the tracks on the lift side of my garage. Track is now 4" away from my 139" ceiling - nice n tight! While doing that, it was time to get rid of my Wayne-Dalton I-Drive openers. Apparently, I'm the only guy in America that hasn't had...

SuperSkater... I was gonna PM you but this might help others planning on this install.... I have to make a final decision on additional hose length and get that number to Ms. Liya. This is one of those 'Measure Twice / Cut Once' moments. It appears that your conduit entry into the box was...

Nice work! I like how the 'Z' shaped re-bar at the top is dead center in the width of the form's edge. How much did you add to the rough-in hole size for that? 4-ish Inches all around? I never thought of that but I guess I'll have to - Again... NICE WORK! Still can't see where the conduit...

Funny! I looked at the 'Yellow Cabinet' thread - JEEZUS !!! That's some FINE work there - got me thinking.... That's a bad thing.
