[@scasinger123]

Just put my lift together watching your entire video in sections as we assembled it. Super-helpful. Thanks!

[@TSRGarage]

[@johnmartin4079]

Great video, Made setting up this lift much easier, Thanks for taking the time to video this install.

[@TSRGarage]

Thanks, good to hear that it helped

[@dannygoldman8216]

I watched your video and because of you I built my lift today without a single hiccup. Thank you! My lift is made by Nationwide but it was exactly the same as yours down to the misprints in the directions.

[@TSRGarage]

That is great to hear 👍. Same down to the misprints in the directions 🤣.

[@twagoogle]

Saved me a lot of time, thanks

I cried watching this video dented scratched didn't not put foam or any cushions. Made this look 50 times harder than required. Passemger side ramp covered in scratches and gouged.

[@TSRGarage]

😢 no dents, only scratches are on the ramp that was the bottom of the crate (From forklifts). It could have been packed a bit better, Some protection from the forks. Oh well it's not a show piece it's a working piece of equipment. Thanks for watching.

[@dirtgrazer]

Thank you for the video. Exactly what fitting did you buy to reroute the hydraulic hose ? What is it called ? 3'8 " ??

[@TSRGarage]

I don't remember. I took the hose to a hydraulic supply place, and they had what I needed.

[@porsche606]

Great video!

[@hossuer1]

Just got a 9000lb. unit, did yours have a 1/4 in. plastic tube at one end of the cylinder?

[@TSRGarage]

Yes. The line goes to the top of the reservoir. It limits the amount of moisture the system takes in.

[@leewilliamson7114]

I have noticed on several videos of different brand lifts that they are similar to the point of being exactly the same. I wonder if Titan, Atlas, etc all sell the same exact lift with their logos stuck on.

[@TSRGarage]

That is a definite possibility. Same factory different decals

[@jeffreyadams6566]

Great video, thanks. Just bought a used Atlas Garage Pro 8000 EXT. Trying to figure out the cable nut placement. I see you put a nut on each side of the column cup, it looks like the atlas videos have the 2 nuts on top of the column cup making the cable loose without tension. Cannot figure it out with the directions.

[@TSRGarage]

I thought about swapping the nuts both to the top. The cable were slack until the hydraulic cilinder puts a bit of tension on them.

[@bdun1226]

Definitely should have two nuts on the top of the cables. Also should “really” have one on the bottom too.

I just pricked up the Atlas Lift , no instructions where include , I followed your video , got it built and its working great , fantastic lift otherwise

[@TSRGarage]

👍👍

[@coreypatterson1386]

Very nice..what made you choose Atlas over other brands?

[@coreypatterson1386]

What made you choose Atlas over other brands?

[@TSRGarage]

This is my second atlas lift. First was a 2 post. Mostly price and advertised availability of repair parts from the dealer. I bought from "Greg Smith equipment", now "tooltopia". (Bought out or name change? I'm not sure) . I thought parts availability would be important, But I have not needed any parts. Lifts are still working perfectly.

[@coreypatterson1386]

@@TSRGarage sounds good. Atlas is local for me which is 1 big reason I am considering them

[@helipro2245]

So it was upside down and backwards?

[@TSRGarage]

Ya ..lol. that's just the way they crate it. Would have been easy enough with some help. But I did some of it during the week while everybody else was at work.

[@helipro2245]

@@TSRGarage You did a great job at getting that beast off the trailer and in the garage!👍🏻 Nice lift!!

[@TSRGarage]

@@helipro2245 thank you. Good lift I am happy to have it. And....Cheapest way to add another bay to my shop.

[@berniesworkbench7468]

Welded caster's? Splain

[@TSRGarage]

Well... it was under the 5.3 engine & transmission for the Celica SS project... and well.... I found the failure point. It is the center pin in the caster. Removed the casters and added a couple of heavy tack welds, she's strong as an ox LOL. As long as you lay 2x4s across it. I actually wrote "welded casters" on it. It gets all the heavy work 😁

[@scottknell2350]

Atlas instructions are pure garbage. Watching another manufacturer video I noticed they install their cables with the two nuts TOGETHER ON TOP of the cables to increase the downward strength of the cable by doubling the threaded area. Putting a nut on each side of the 1/2 plate doesn't accomplish anything. I'm wondering of the locking ladder should have both nuts on top also. Only reason I see putting a nut on each side of the locking ladder is to keep it from possibly lifting up while raising the lift.

[@scottknell2350]

Looking closely at Atlas photos of assembled units it looks like they use two bolts together on the cable for downward strength and 1 bolt on each side of the locking ladder for stability. I've emailed them to clarify.
