What are your thoughtson this used lift on craigslist? any idea how much the pump setup would cost?

"forward car lift 10,000 lbs capacity bought new in 2002 used for a few years and took down been sitting since

model number dp10s2

does not have hydraulic pump
will prob need 1 new ram
will need new hoses
no assembly hardware ( all can be found at hardware store)"

If you don't have the pins that attach the arms to the carriages they may difficult to locate. Also the lift cylinder may be kinda pricey. If both have been left exposed to the elements you may want to replace both.The one you posted looks similar to this http://www.forwardlift.com/two_post/DP10A.aspx

Here is a pump http://www.gregsmithequipment.com/H...up=npadwords&gclid=CJaB6uf61LMCFWGnPAodQhsASg

May be worth it if you can get it under $500. Otherwise you would be money ahead to find a complete used unit that hasnt been exposed to weather for years.

Yeah its the dp10s2 model. Im sure it has the pins, it has the cable right next to the arms. But the guy is asking 800. I was thinking $400.

There are better deals out there. I'm all for saving equipment but that wouldn't be a good investment.

You're looking at $500ish for a new power unit. $600 or better for a new ram. $200 for pins. Probably need new equalizing cables as well. $80 a pop there. You can get a new lift for that.

I would pass.....You can find a better deal

What are they asking? I just put mine up and the details are slowing things up because I am cheap! Given the missing parts and condition...$400.

Luckily I have some great connections who build hoses, repair hydraulics and such.
I paid $700 with 2 pumps, all the assembly hardware but no pins or pads for the arms.

Used pumps are out there, My brother drug one back from a swap meet for $20 that needed an O-ring.

If you are looking for a learning project, I say jump all over it.

I would stay away from that. Save a up a little more money and get an Atlas. You will be glad you did!
