    Big tag says "don't operate this on the pallet"

    So I bought a nice 5hp Ingersoll-Rand at a great price. I'm putting in my basement for convenience. it's easy to run a hose up, over and right through the wall, maybe 8 feet of hose I'll me more space in the garage and to keep it in a climate controlled area. Anyway, it seems obvious but it's...

    I'm going for a Mohawk if I can swing it.

    There's no reason I can't run it up into the dry walled ceiling and then across the rafters and down, is there? It seems to be the only good way I can do this. Hat or no hat...

    I'm going for a Mohawk if I can swing it.

    No, a Mohawk hair style just won't work for me. While I have more hair than Dolly Pardon (grey)...I wear a hat.

    I'm going for a Mohawk if I can swing it.

    I thought it would be impossible for me to fit a Mohawk A7 due to the height of my garage. I have 127" till I hit the dry wall ceiling. Well, duh, someone pointed out that they ran their line through the rafters. I have an attic above the garage. The access hatch is in the garage All I have to...

    New used Manitowoc lift now installed

    Doesn't this kind of lift require hole digging? Isn't the Manitowoc a completely different animal?

    starting to get serious

    Ya know, I was wondering about that exact thing. It doesn't look like that base plate would be much of a pain but it seems, like you, everyone who has one ******* about it. Thanks for the idea. I was thinking the ceiling height was it but you showed me it isn't. My ceiling is dry walled so...

    starting to get serious

    So it's funny how things steamroll. I bought a car that I always wanted. This has caused me to buy a nice Ingersoll-rand 5hp compressor. I got a screamin' deal on this thing due to a Tractor Supply screw up. Now comes the ultimate....a lift. My garage ceiling is 127" or 10'7"s at its absolute...

    Mohawk A-7 vs Chinese

    I can't believe I'd be safer under jack stands...I want to be able to stand under it. There are 10's of thousands of lifts out there....not all are Mohawk. I doubt even a small percentage are Mohawk. I am actively looking for a used one but if the Chinese lifts were patently dangerous...we...

    Mohawk A-7 vs Chinese

    Don't bring politics in to this and make this a "buy American" argument. That line just doesn't hold water. You can't by a piece of consumer electronic equipment that isn't Chinese. The sad fact is if you refuse to Chinese products you can't buy American cars because a very large percentage of...

    Mohawk A-7 vs Chinese

    I'm sure a Mohawk is better....but $1,500 compared to $4,100? The "Greg Smith" http://www.gregsmithequipment.com/HR8000-Base-Plate-Two-Post-Lift-p/tphr-8000.htm I saw it in person and they looks pretty darn good. They're an 8,000 lb lift They've been selling them for 4 years. They said they...

    Mohawk A-7 vs Chinese

    I've just seen a "Chinese lift" at Greg Smith in Indianapolis. It really looks like a nice unit. It's $1,500.00. I got a quote for a Mohawk A-7. I'm sure it's better but it's $4,100.00 (on sale). Is it that much better???? Capacity is close...
