My BendPak 4-post lift arrived at my dad's warehouse this past Monday, and he helped me get it to my shop today.

Now to get it off the trailer, and set up. LOL

Thanks to Dave at Workshop Depot for the great service, and to Jeff at BendPak for his service also, and recommending Dave.

Can't wait to use it.

You'll love it and your back will thank you everyday.
How about some pics when you set it up?

 

[99SVT]

oh definitely!!

I'd give you pics of the shipping crate, but they are still on my phone

oh, forgot to mention...

I also got the RJ-45 bridge jack, the JP-6 sliding jack tray, and the air bottle for the safety locks.

Lucky ****** - I got the prototype air bottle way back when, but it had a few bugs and didn't install it.... never did get the real deal - let me know how it works!!!

The box it came in was strapped to the top of the shipping pallet, and the box was crushed. I assumed that BendPak had done this, so they knew what they were doing. But, I had every notion that the bottle was crushed, and I would have to be asking for a new one.

I opened the box, and pulled out this 10" piece of threaded pipe, with caps threaded on each end, with some fittings coming out of one of the cap ends. Looks like a pipe bomb. LOL

Well, that's what my "proto" looks like....perhaps it works!!

Pretty similar - thanks for the photo! Item 28 on my summer agenda!!!

Well, I guess that is one way to make a small reservoir. No ASME regs or testing on that. Although drilling holes in caps and the side of the pipe is not kosher. I suppose they could have used PVC pipe instead of galvanized steel for extra safety (NOT).

 

[99SVT]

tapping the caps is perfectly acceptable, at least in the petro chem industry. We do it all the time in designing refineries and chem facitilites.

Thanks for the info!
