Harbor Freight Central Hydraulics Scissor Lift 91315 Review and lifting a 6000 lbs GMC truck

[@anthonyogeen3222]

Im glad someone did a real video. Thank you! I have all full sized trucks i feel alot more comfortable buying one after this video

[@GearHead704]

Seems awesome especially with it lifting the truck. I'm sure working on the SVO is a lot easier now.

[@BackyardBMX73]

I didn't realize that was from Harbor Freight. I'm gonna look into it for sure. Great review!

[@mrautomotif8996]

Yea check the comments for the link. Cost isn’t bad and reviews are excellent.

[@kevins5268]

​@@mrautomotif8996 dis they stop selling these?

[@haroldkidwell6703]

I like it looks like it would make a lot of jobs a lot easier mostly like tires and suspension but it don't cost what a post lift costs but it's still able to lift your truck pretty impressed

[@mikesautomaintenance5780]

I don't think they sell them any more can't find them on their site

[@johnbailey2034]

I don’t think harbor freight advertised it as portable anyway .

[@themechanic4222]

Lift good just for inspection and tires rotations, brakes work . That is it

[@downside1237]

Link doesn't work, even on harbor freight site you type scissor lift/jack and nothing. They're not selling it anymore. Discontinued.

[@larrymartin8511]

How long are the hydraulic hoses from the lift to the pump control setting against a wall

[@robbiefrentz9427]

Overall would you buy it again. Was it worth the money

[@mrautomotif8996]

Robbie Frentz yes! It gets the car in the air easily and I didn’t have to modify my garage door. Would I love a 2 or 4 post..absolutely but this is a good middle ground for now.

[@robbiefrentz9427]

Thank you

[@31acruz]

ne thing you never tell us is "how do you lock the mounting pad arms in place once you select their position?" you can move them around so easily with your hand, makes one think a 5,000 lbs car would easely slide off at the slightest push and fall on the ground. Are there screws or "something" to lock them in place once they are placed under the vehicle's jack points? All the videos I saw nobody mentions this and its a huge safety concern for us.

[@mrautomotif8996]

There’s no lock. There is a stop to prevent them from moving too far but no lock. I sold my lift Too many struggles and not enough space for me.

[@bayuprabowo4899]

How mm thickness of the steel material? thanks

[@mrautomotif8996]

Not sure. It’s been a while since I had this.

[@bayuprabowo4899]

@@mrautomotif8996 okey thx, just want to make sure the strength from the material thickness 🙏

[@The1965catalina]

I was thinking about getting one cool video

[@gabrielmerza6904]

Don’t turn the pump on and off rapidly ,you’re gonna burn it

[@oldtanker4860]

Harbor freight and "it works great" are not normally heard together.

[@mrautomotif8996]

Yea. I did learn there are some limitations and ended up selling it.

[@themeez1000]

Rapid pulsing the motor on the pump is going to burn it out, you need to give it 5 seconds between pump starts to save it from doing that

[@mrautomotif8996]

themeez1000 yea been told that one before. Im taking it easy after learning this.

[@themeez1000]

@@mrautomotif8996 I got ya. Yeah just thought I would give the warning, I have my own shop and have 3 lifts in it, the lifts were only like 2 days old and one burned out because one of my employees was doing that. So If I could save someone else the headache.

[@midnightsunturbo]

Thanks for the tip as I'm looking to buy Bendpak. I won't be doing that.

[@mrautomotif8996]

midnightsunturbo I posted another video about this lift yesterday. Basically the lift sucks. Never able to lift what I need.

[@midnightsunturbo]

@@mrautomotif8996 Just watched the video. Yeah, the lift does not fittype of work you are doing. I'll be using the Bendpak MD-X6P mainly for maintenance purposes. Nothing close to what you are doing. My tiny little garage ceiling is only 8 footer.

[@docteurdre8450]

Portable! Need to used your head wen it is considered portable. It is not the same portability as a floor jack. The idea behind is you have the ability to move it in your shop. I rather have a good scissor lift that I cam move around in my garage instead of having 2 post lift. You can easily lift your riding mower your motocycle and use it as hydraulic lifting table also.

[@markwebb8285]

Those type of lifts aren't made to get under.....can I have your wallet if you ever figure that out? Thanks.

[@jedmeltonmusic698]

Any type of car lift could fail at any given time. If you were a mechanic and knew anything about it, then you would know that much.

[@markwebb8285]

​@jedmeltonmusic698 I have a toolbox full of tools. Doesn't that make me a mechanic? I used to turn wrenches for a living, so I have some knowledge of lifts. I'm guessing since Harbor Freight doesn't carry this anymore, they do too. Go preach to someone else.
