The best used lifts come from the 1980's. I honestly don't have a preference between a generic "Canadian" lift which may or maynot use components manufactured overseas and one comming directly from China. I am not familiar with the particular brank you mentioned. The best part is you can...

It has been my experience that the rate of decent has little do whit the actual power unit and release valve than it does with the size of the hydraulic fittings intergated into the hydraulic ram. If somehow the ram were to be quickly sheered in half, the rate of decent would be quick...

If the hydraulics fail, the car will lower at the same rate as it normally would when releasing the pressure. I guess for added saftey- like some of the concerns listed above (other than hydraulic failure) like hardware failure, improper loading and such you could use 4 heavy duty pole jacks to...

I think there are two perspectives here. The Teacher is cautioning you for saftey purposes. The tech's who operate outside the classroom are more concerned about time (especially if they are flat rate). I'm not condoning sacrificing safty for time, but you'll have to decide which is more...

I've been told that the Revolution lifts are made overseas by a Rotary rep. He said you can bet that any lift which uses metric hadware is made overseas. I disagree about the shims under the post, Nepa Z's reply is more accurate.

Everything GS sells is his "house brand" so just because you may be aware of an Atlas brand name, it may not be the same. If you are near Indy, I would go with the Complete Hydraulic over the Greg Smith stuff. They are comprable in quality, but I feel the Complete line has less problems during...

Let me tell you, I've got some stories of things people have flushed. Sneakers, Adult diapers, beer cans, etc. During a retrofit at an un-named super convenience store, we removed a competitor's pumps with some large ****** toys jammed in them. These pumps only serviced the employee's facilities!

If you were to go with an Environment One pump like the one above, they do 0 to 140 feet of head with nearly the same flow. They are a low rpm unit which run about 15 gpm accross the pump curve. Very strong, kinda like a diesel engine. Size your discharge pipe at 1.25" and you'll have...

Well I think this is a thread I should comment on. Usually the hardest part of my job is telling people what I do, but being a poopy pump salesman isn't really all that bad. There are a variety of pumps on the market ranging from economy to quality. Another way to look as it is "cheap to buy"...
