Just installed a 12000 pound forward lift really nice . Floor crawler is history 😂

[@seanprice8271]

Great video, thanks for putting it together!

[@renegaded1989]

Very good video. I built a new house with attached garage and the had the garage pad prepped ready for a lift. Thicker reinforced areas with no heat pipes. 27’ bay depth with pillars at 12’ from the door. Can fit a supercrew 5.5’ f150 and walk behind it and have decent space at the front. I got the Forward Lift DP10A with dual position arms as well. Love having a lift.

[@OutdoorAuto]

It’s awesome when you actually have the opportunity to build with a lift in mind… total game changers on making wrenching enjoyable.

[@renegaded1989]

@@OutdoorAuto got that right. I’m a weekend warrior at best but being in a position to help friends out and save money is worth it for me. Oil changes, tire rotations, suspension and brakes so far. I also have a sxs so being able to work on that unit standing up is a real pleasure.

[@stephs1571]

Great video as always! Keep it up!

[@OutdoorAuto]

I appreciate the encouragement thank you 🙏

[@vandalsgarage]

I use my lift weekly. The smallest car I lift is a Mini, the biggest is my 3/4 ton 4-door diesel pickup. The front axle on my ram pickup is close to 5000 lbs. So, either a 12k import, or an over-built 10k, which is what I have. My Mohawk System 1 easily handles all of that. I installed mine in an afternoon, with help from one of my brothers, but its a simple lift, all hydraulic, with no equalizing cables.

[@vandalsgarage]

If I didn't have my Mohawk, this Bendpak would be on my short list

[@Mallrunner]

Just got a 9k atlas installed in my garage. Best money I've ever spent. Spending 50hrs a week wrenching professionally that come home to wrench on the floor is a back killer. Those days are now gone.

[@OutdoorAuto]

It really is crazy how big of a difference it makes... I really look forward to my personal projects now.

[@notsure9033]

I'm building a shop around this exact lift. Concrete requirements are throwing me off though.. Says 4.25" for existing floor, but 12" for new. I'd be pouring the floor, then waiting close to 90 days, so by then is it preexisting? I've emailed BendPak on that. I'm planning on forming two channels of the concrete the length of the shop so I can move the lift back and forth to a desired location before installing. Truck's a CCLB F250, so it should be just fine. BendPak suggested it. Great video. Very informative.

[@danobrien155]

Thanks 😊

[@OutdoorAuto]

oooh... are you getting a lift? Excited for you if you are.

[@Nitrousbird]

What lift points are you using for your X3? I just bought a '23 Max X RR and am about to pick up the exact lift you have, but it isn't as clear on my X3 for where to lift.

[@TimeAfterTym]

I Really like your video. I was just wondering if you know anything about the adapters to lift a tractor. Specifically a TYM 574 compact tractor bordering on utility keep up the good post you have a great sense of humor.

[@OutdoorAuto]

I have never used the tractor adaptors... I would imagine it isn't that complicated but tractors are really uneven on weight so the secondary braces would be really critical in my opinion... Id probably run 4.

[@TimeAfterTym]

I’m having a hard time finding people who use lifts for Tractors.

[@garretlewis4103]

I would love to have a lift. My garage is too short. ☹️

[@OutdoorAuto]

😥

[@jeffxu5752]

Can be customized according to garage dimension

[@robsdeviceunknown]

Man I tell ya, if for no other reasons, liability issues would be why I will always hire a company licensed and insured to install something as dangerous as a lift. For ME anyway, it's just not worth it. Costs average around 500 bucks. Totally worth it. As far as selection, get the absolute biggest you can fit and afford. Cause once your friends know you have one, everyone and their brother will want to "borrow" it and no clue what contraptions they will want to sling up into the air. Also, If you're new to having or using a lift. Sit down for many hours and watch like 100 KZbin videos on them. Most failures come down to the shifting of weight causing the load to become majorly unbalanced. This can end your life. Be safe guys, God Bless.

[@OutdoorAuto]

Solid advice... one thing... everything has gotten so expensive... lowest quote I could get on installation was $1300 per lift and that did not include electric which was quoted at over $1000 🤷‍♂️

[@robsdeviceunknown]

Whoh ok, my bad. It's been like 3 years since I last seen a quote. That MAY change things a bit for that cost. Thanks for letting me know man.@@OutdoorAuto

[@vandalsgarage]

I installed my Mohawk System 1, with help from one of my brothers. And basically DIY for one important reason, I trust myself to do it right. It is not a difficult task, and if you don't think you have the skill to install one, I'd question whether you have the skills to even need one.

[@justinstrouse1015]

And that's why no one will remember your name

[@gregcelaya955]

What size is your shop?

[@OutdoorAuto]

55X60 but there is an apartment on the back

[@MegaRiffraff]

👍🏻

[@OutdoorAuto]

Have you ever wondered about setting up your own lift? What questions do you have?

[@6806goats1]

Just wondering how large of a pad I'd need to re-pour to ensure larger tie in to my existing floor. I'm guessing 2' larger than installed foot print. Say the installed size is 10' wide then put in a dedicated slab 4'x14'. Maybe 3'x12'. Drill sideways into existing slab to tie it all together with rebar. Not sure of the floor thickness in my 36x48 pole barn shop. Previous owner/builder said it varies but not sure if there's a sonic method to test the thickness. Hmmm, drill? You said that just now in your video. Watch then comment huh. He said 4-6", 10,000 psi concrete but that was built in 1992-1994. East Idahoans tend to stick around the area, or at least in this case. Cool to see another Idaho business here. Back to your videos. Close to Idaho Falls for me. Oh and I self installed (couldn't find an installer) two 9,000 lbs Bendpak 4 post lifts in my shop but didn't bolt them down because I want to moved them around. The remaining 14,000 lbs BP lift will get bolted before I lift the Dually pickup. TMI.

[@dylans2669]

I am mostly uninformed on this so do your own research but i thought there was also a PSI requirement which i would imagine plays into the thickness.

[@OutdoorAuto]

Yup every different lift will have a different one... so like I called you will want to look up the requirements specific to your lift. For these lifts the PSI requirement was lower then the requirement for my foundation... so kind of automatic.

[@davidkepics1644]

Dude got the lifts for free from Bendpak.

[@OutdoorAuto]

I wish… if you have a contact let me know… I didn’t even get a discount… I didn’t even order them from bendpak…. That’s how I learned it was better to order direct
