I did a few purge cycles but probably not enough to finish the job. I'm just testing in my driveway before installing in the garage floor. My main lift always rises first, then the sub follows about 12 inches lower - even after leveling. I hope more bleeding will fix that. I'll look over...

Finally got it! Mislabeled control panel buttons threw me off. My lift lowers when I hit the "lock" button! The "up" and "down" buttons both run the pump and raise the lifts. I also discovered I don't have beepers or pause-before-parking features etc. I think I got the bare-bones version...

Here is the hydraulic schematic of my lift. (I sketched on top of a schematic from somebody else's post.) I have no idea what happens inside the leveling valve with the question marks. I'm hoping I just have the two lines reversed at the leveling valve. https://i.imgur.com/l6oLxNO.jpg

Thanks, something is definitely odd. I may temporarily remove the 110v power to the motor and see if the solenoid is stroking to dump pressure.

I got everything hooked up to test in the driveway...and I have my first problem. Hitting the “up” button I can make the main or sub lift rise. But when I hit the “down” button, the motor comes on and the lifts both continue to rise! I have no way to lower the lifts. Background: This...

Reviving an old thread to share some experiences specific to importing from China. (The “mother” thread is like 70 pages long!!) I thought I was being smart by getting my chinese shipper to quote price from FOB in China. I had my local importer handle all the arrangements from there to my...

I got the 4000kg (8800lb) capacity full-rise scissor lifts (two units). 78 inch lift.

Yes, that’s the total with lifts in my driveway (as of last night). I wouldn’t recommend my supplier - bad communication, many delays. I’d pick one that folks here have had good communication with. I’m sure there’s risk, but (as I did) you can jump on ALibaba and send inquiries to 3-4...

Maybe I’m the most recent - I paid $1470 for mine last September. It arrived earlier this week. Delays were mostly with the manufacturer, but shipping was not fast either. It left China on Christmas Day 2018. Less-than-container shipment wasn’t a problem though I’m sure it did cost extra...

After months of waiting, the last few days have been a whirlwind. I picked up the lift at the logistics warehouse on Wednesday. Borrowed an engine hoist to lift the pieces off my trailer yesterday. I’m getting estimates for the concrete work now - two so far. One contractor wants to have a...

I mentioned this to my wife. She had NO problem coming up with lots of potential uses for some extra concrete!

I bought the “MAS3018 In Ground Full Rise” lift from Yantai Automas. I would not recommend buying from them due to horrible communication, delays, missed dates, more delays etc. Here is the info I had when I selected this one.

Final Customs/service/congestion/freight/messenger/VGM/IFS/courier/duty and BS fees finally arrived today - the total is $1123.00. Lift purchase was $1470 for a grand total of $2593.00. So that's what I have invested so far - that plus 5 months of excitement. I'll be off to the local...

I finally have a local delivery date - next Monday, 18 February. Close to 5 months after I sent payment! I will pick up with my utility trailer at a local trucking hub. Communication with the supplier was abysmal. Details were exasperating to resolve, delays, wrong motor sent to them by...

My lift is on a slow boat from China. It was scheduled to arrive Jan 15, now delayed until Jan 31. I don't think my back is up to moving busted concrete and mixing bags of sakrete, so I'm starting to price a contractor to cut, excavate and pour the bunkers. My lightweight trailer and tow car...

Thanks for the thoughts on concrete - makes sense.

The “logistics provider” I hired gave me this quote for shipping, customs etc. I think there were more possible fees for telex payment if it crops up...

Hi, I’m a noob here. I’ve been slowly searching for a lift for my home garage. I looked at the “portable” two post lifts, and the slide-around style scissor lifts. I finally decided I want a flush mount scissor lift. I priced the ones available in US and I can’t stomach a $4000 price tag...

I’m also looking at these for flush mount in the garage floor. I measure 35” spacing between the box frame rails on my Toyota Spyder and the same on my Lexus LS430. With the “recommended 40-46 spacing” do they intend for you to pick every car up by the sheetmetal pinch welds? Another...
