[@pe4844]

Thanks for doing such a great job! The way reviews are supposed to be done. Present the facts, and pros & cons for different uses.

[@JohnEngel]

Thank you so much for that. :)

@@JohnEngel this may help. Better info than any other video in the advantage lift. kzbin.info/www/bejne/gnKyYn6chNOlkLssi=Ravx3teptFBIcy_7

I’d like to see u go to a couple of buddies houses and give a review on more brands of 4-post lifts.

[@JohnEngel]

That a great idea. Thank you.

[@rdollie1]

I've been planning on getting a lift for a couple of years and after reading all I could, I would stick with Advantage lifts. Vastly superior materials quality and safety design. A but more than these, but you get your money's worth!

[@JohnEngel]

I’ll have to look into them. Thank you.

[@danielallocca7770]

Truly helpful since I’m actively looking at both. Thanks for the info.

[@JohnEngel]

@@danielallocca7770 thank you so much for watching.

[@Gbasque]

Thanks for the video. I'm ordering the Atlas. Cheers.

[@JohnEngel]

@@Gbasque best bang for the buck. I really like mine.

[@1636patriot]

I have a new poured 6 inch thick 4000 psi concrete floor...should be fine as manufacturers mention only need 4 inch slab

[@JohnEngel]

@@1636patriot that should be fine.

[@Ryem3]

Great. Was about to buy a bend pack, but forget it! Who needs that much capacity?

[@jeffxu5752]

hello thanks for your interested in parking lift ,we can also provide heavy duty parking lift

[@qingdaosyrisonindustyequip1102]

hi john, great job. as a parking lifts suppliers, i have to say all the two lifts were from China. that why it is hard for them to control the painting quality,and so on. about the weight capacity, nearly similar, cause all of them use 5mm thickness plate as runways. very surprised about their price. cause in China, only around US$1200. the sea freight is about $200. the related cost in your sea port is about $500 maxim think. find a truck to pick it to your home. it is easier to install by yourself.

[@JohnEngel]

Thank you so much. Great info.

[@davidgenoway8889]

Where would you go to bypass the companies and get it directly off the freighter?

[@qingdaosyrisonindustyequip1102]

​@@davidgenoway8889 you need find a local sea agent to help you make custom declaration when lift arrive your sea port OR pick up from China sea port.

[@jeffxu5752]

thanks for your information,are you looking for the parking lift that matches your garage and cars?

[@todd5082]

I would assume a 9,000lb lift would be beefier and more $ than a 8,000lb lift.

[@JohnEngel]

@@todd5082 I would as well but it’s not always about size.

[@jamesray3920]

Youshow casings an older advantage model , I agree the advantage 9000 I feel better and when loaded by a vehicle it don't move , and advantage gives you free caster so you can move rack in new location without a vehicle on unit , you need a new or newer advantage you tell a difference story

[@JohnEngel]

@@jamesray3920 I would be so happy for them to send me one.

[@rcmike38]

Can these lifts be placed in the elements of weather in your backyard of a warehouse? thanks No room in warehouse,,lol

[@JohnEngel]

@@rcmike38 I have been told that they can, but I have not experienced that for myself

[@buzzedalldrink9131]

Buy an Advantage lift. Never buy a lift based on price. Advantage is third party safety certified. Yeah they cost more, but it’s your life.

[@JohnEngel]

@@buzzedalldrink9131 I need to check them out.

[@buzzedalldrink9131]

@@JohnEngel I did a lot of research ,to me they are the way to go. Check out the 9000HD , info on their website. That would cover anything and fits in a garage with a ceiling as low as 9ft. They also have larger lifts for dually trucks and SUVs

[@blueduster74]

Is one made here and one in china.

[@JohnEngel]

@@blueduster74 unfortunately, not all of Benpaks are made in the USA. They are ansi certified, where the other one is not.

[@davidkepics1644]

For 5000$ I’m buying a challenger, not a Bendpak

[@JohnEngel]

@@davidkepics1644 I’ll have to look them up and check them out.

[@jeffxu5752]

maybe you can get the same quality parking lift from me at a competitive price ,welcome to consult

[@anonimous2451]

Firstly, to PROPERLY bolt either one down the stanchions must be anchored into a piling cap with a depth no less than 12" for proper structural support. It's these lil DETAILS that folks do not take into consideration cause most garage floor pads are 4" of concrete and are NOT Structurally rated. Afixing a lift on this surface is simply a disaster waiting to happen. For instance, Cracked floors (weakening the area entirely), these cracks can splinter all the way into the foundational footer and your beautiful home is now an expensive structural repair disaster. AND the bottom of the stanchion supports are supposed to extend out encompassing the entire underside as a BASE Column Fix point. The entire column support and base support can be poured at one time, allowed to cure for three days before patching the floor and maybe epoxying the floor but full structural strength is not achieved for 30 days. And the entire column must be reinforced with rebar steel embedded in it.

[@JohnEngel]

While I don’t have any information that is this detailed, neither set of instructions for the lifts mentioned what you have stated.

[@anonimous2451]

@@JohnEngel So you really think that someone is gonna spell out in detail EVERYTHING REQUIRED to install the lifts properly? Your foolish. They sold it to you and its up to YOU to know what is required.

[@JohnEngel]

@@anonimous2451 I’m not saying you are right or wrong. Don’t get too upset over a comment on YT. :)

[@rdollie1]

Most of the 4 post designs I read up on say you don't need to bolt them down. That said, the design of these two with mechanism moving inside a channel would make me nervous, and I'd have to bolt it down. If you buy a more robust design where the mechanism rides on the outside of all 4 sides of the columns, I think you can get away w/o bolting them down (especially since you're talking about around 20 lbs/sq inch on the concrete.)

[@JohnEngel]

@@rdollie1 great points.
