Lucky for me, I have been installing Whip lifts for ten years, and all of my clients have eluded death as well! It is the ONLY UL certified lift in the country. They are manufactured in the USA. And they only cost 400 dollars more than a Chinese Bendpak. What's not to like? Big Brian

Except for the parts that are made in Italy and China!

3/4 " Anchors should be torqued to 100 foot pounds Never, Never (did I stress Never?) try to pull the anchor up out of the floor unless you are prepared to repour the pad!!!!!! Anchors go one way, DOWN! Now that you know how thick the floor is, you could try to drive the anchor through the...

Yeah, the arms are lighter than they used to be and are no longer tube steel. They now use a three sided top piece with a flat plate welded onto the bottom. The carriage is the part that carries the arms up and down.

I can tell you that we noticed the change in arm design/quality two years ago this July and that the carriages now have a big "H" stamped into the back....I wonder what that stands for?

DUDE! I can understand your logic now! One look at your webpage and I can pretty much figure out which head you think with!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I love reading this stuff!!!! You know, one of my installers calls the speeches defending Chinese quality the "Old Abba Dabba" Kind of like making a silk purse from a sows ear. Brian

The rule of thumb is that the center of gravity on front wheel drive cars is the dashboard since the entire drivetrain resides in front of the windshield. Rear wheel drive cars, the center of gravity is where the drivers **** sits in the seat. Of course common sense applies on trucks, vans and...

You may also consider the Challenger cassette lift as it has a wider drive through. And consider that when you flush mount your lift you have to raise it first to position the arms under the car, as well as you have just lowered the lifting height of your lift! Brian

Not True! The lift in the picture is Chinese Made. The factory in Joshua has been occupied by Whip Industries for the last couple of years. Eagle doesn't have a factory, they have a Port.......... Brian

Raise the lift until just before the first lock Loosen the screw on top of the Idler side cylinder until you hear air hissing out. The carriage will start dropping until the oil starts coming out. Repeat for the motor side, and then put a car on your lift!:)

Let's see......call me a name and then leave. Does this mean I win?:bounce: My whole goal here is to save one person from running out with their Mastercard to buy a 1400 dollar lift, and then end up diasppointed with it. Next week I have to service two lifts that won't come down to the ground...

What an idea! Why didn't I think of that sooner.........By gosh , we'll make millions! Jimval, you are my new best friend:beer::)

FYI....you need STATISTICS on ALL the lifts you want to praise AND bash to compare scientifically and back up claims." You mean I need facts and statistics to repeat the opinion of someone who owns the lift? NO, BUT YOU DO NEED THEM TO MAKE CLAIMS. YOU ARE JUST STATING HEARSAY AND ANECDOTES...

"FYI....you need STATISTICS on ALL the lifts you want to praise AND bash to compare scientifically and back up claims." You mean I need facts and statistics to repeat the opinion of someone who owns the lift? "At least with Greg Smith I was able to see a that my lift is manufactured in a...

What kind of proof? DO you want to talk to those people personally? Do you want to go install lifts with me? I can show you pictures if you want:) Brian

Actually, if I were going to buy a non certified lift, that would be the one to choose. But only for a home garage! I have seen several automotive shops that have worn them out prematurely. Brian

Just to clear up some misinformation........ You can't compare Bendpak to Greg Smith. Bendpak had their lift tested to certification standards, Greg Smith didn't. I have had lots of people admit to me what a piece of **** they bought from Smitty, but overall everyone has been happy with their...

Try removing the down valve handle and then the down valve , and you will usually find debris on the screen. Clean the debris from the screen and whatever you can get out of the port and reassemble. This is something we run into on foreign made cylinders. If that doesn't help, then it maybe...
