Twin Busch TW S3-19 Scissor Lift Conclusions

[@Alex-dm1ws]

Thank you so much for your transparent title/video productions. So relieving to watch a KZbinr that cares about production instead of clickbait for views. Great work!

[@ObsessedGarage]

Thanks Jay.

[@commoncents456]

You have done a fantastic job. I know this is an older video, but this never gets old. I can't believe they used an air line just for a release. Thanks again

[@hallurs]

They now have an electric release for these lifts.

[@50mercfan]

I've been researching different smaller lifts for a couple of years, I had decided on another brand until i stumbled across this series of videos. Your videos have been very helpful. Ill be ready soon to buy one. Ill give a call.

[@joetacchino4470]

I think the best part of this video is that your tape outline of the cabinets goes up and over your audio equipment. 🤣

[@ObsessedGarage]

Ha, ha...

[@50mercfan]

i kept starring at that too.

[@plutus205]

I respect your approach to your videos. You get straight to the point with no bull shit.

[@ObsessedGarage]

Thanks Tyler.

[@nolanohana]

Great information Matt, appreciate your time and detail about the lift.

[@rcobsesssed]

lol at the cabinet layout tape running up and over the amp/receiver!

[@ObsessedGarage]

Ha, ha... I wanted to mock if they would fit or not. The answer is clearly not.

[@stls1034]

Your videos really get me excited for living on my own and building my dream garage.

[@audiorat1]

My hose connectors are leaking. Both in/out I’ll have to cut and crimp new connectors to them. How’s yours doing?

[@audiorat1]

So I emailed the headquarter. They said they’re no longer in the US market. The US location is vacant. Can’t even ship spare parts here. I have to crimp the hoses myself. That’s the cheapest way.

[@TheBmarshall15]

Thanks for the review, ill be snapping this up for my man cave when i get back from italy.

[@levanwhite2307]

"Lets just say mine stopped working, accidentally" Lmao

[@2011WRX4ME]

Quick question for you. I was interested in this lift after watching you install it and I went to Twin Busch's website and they had a installation video. During the video the mention three phase connection, yet I saw in an earlier video you connected to a standard 115 VAC with a 15 amp connector. Was their video a mistake then? Also how much pressure is needed to release the mechanical locks? I'm very interested in getting one of these once I finish releveling my garage. Thanks for any help.

[@aronkerner5318]

The price listed on their website right now is $3149...is that your price as well? I have a truck and trailer. Live in Landenberg, PA 19350. Can this be picked up at a depot or is direct shipping the only/best way? Thanks

[@Chavez_Auto_Detailing]

Hey bro where did you get those cable guard cover your hydraulic lines. I have swisstrax as well, and I'll probably do the same thing you did.

[@ExhaustedOfficial]

I presume it can but can the unit be placed elsewhere so for example in front of the lift rather than too the side. I’m just thinking this would be a good solution to me needing a lift and having a single car garage

[@ObsessedGarage]

Yes, you could place it anywhere.

[@cuttingedgecool7235]

Great video!

[@BySixa]

Matt out of curiosity what was the reason you stopped selling twin busch lifts? I've a 2 post arriving from them in a few weeks

[@ObsessedGarage]

I couldn't get them. They just weren't able to fulfill them.

[@ObsessedHouse]

I was waiting for this video, I considered this but i'm still going to go forward with the 2-post lift. i'm on the fence about rotary, bend pak, etc. i originally opted for the xpr-10as-lp in a wide config so i can drive the vette, gt-r, etc up and the low profile arms will clear the rockers but i'm still shopping, it should be installed in a month or two.

[@ObsessedHouse]

oh and on the lowering beep, cut a piece of cardboard and tape it tight to the speaker, it will reduce the volume and make it more comfortable instead of sounding like a smoke detector alarm in your ear lol.

[@andrew27259]

hello, a little question, this lift is engineered in Germany, and manufactured in Germany or China? thank you

[@vinando9568]

Love it!

[@2010stoof]

So, which down button brings the lift down onto the safety blocks? First thing I ever learned about a lift is that after raising, you let down onto the safeties. Would down 2 be the one that doesn't blow the air to the safeties so you can bring it down to the nearest safety spot?

[@ObsessedGarage]

I don't think it's necessary on the this lift. The latches are only a few inches apart. Should the hydraulics fail, the latch will catch almost immediately.

[@2010stoof]

@@ObsessedGarage oh ok. So do both the down buttons blow the air to release the levers? Or just #1?

[@ObsessedGarage]

#1 blows them to lower it all the way down to the lower limit switch (about 12" from the ground). Then you release 1 and push 2 to lower it the rest of the way to the floor.

[@2010stoof]

Oh ok. Can you press down 2 while up higher than 12" or does it not let you? And does #2 blow the locks open too when you press it?

[@FredAllenBurge]

I was planning on recessing mine into the floor, can you explain a bit about why this one isn't best for that? Also with mostly short wheelbase sports cars being my thing is there any reason not to remove those extensions?

[@ObsessedGarage]

This one doesn't work as well for recessing as something like the Benpak SP-7X. The extensions are going be necessary for a lot of cars. For example a 5 series won't fit without them.

[@FredAllenBurge]

@@ObsessedGarage gotcha. I was thinking about recessing the whole thing including the ramps. When it's all the way down I'll have blocks down in there to hold the ramps up level with the rest of the platforms. Do you think that'll work? (The bendpak is out of budget for me.)

[@FredAllenBurge]

Update on this - I ended up getting this lift and recessing it in my floor. I also removed all 4 ramps and cut off the hinges. Everything seems good so far! Also a set of 4 harbor freight car dollies are perfect for moving these around before you're ready to set them in their final spots. And an engine hoist works well for lifting them and setting them in place.

[@SenpaiMC7]

@@FredAllenBurge How do you like them? Debating these? Been reliable? They seem like a bit of a headache to set up and seem to cover under the car a bit? Any input is greatly appreciated thanks!

[@FredAllenBurge]

@@SenpaiMC7 it's been a fantastic lift, no complaints at all. Some pics can be seen on my instagram @fredallenburge

[@slagburger1]

What lift would you recommend for an old 911 in home garage?

[@ObsessedGarage]

I would stick with Nussbaum Lifts: www.obsessedgarage.com/collections/nussbaum-automotive-lifts

[@chinoman7234]

Like the old school stereo

[@netnic77]

Looks like a good system and a great video but it doesn’t sound like the factory and rep were of much help in isolating some of your install issues. Support is as much a part of the product as the physical components, how involved were they?

[@ObsessedGarage]

They were pretty fantastic. All of the errors were on me. Now that you have this video, you won't make the same mistakes. If I had a video like this, it would have been easy.

[@netnic77]

Obsessed Garage very detailed video, one of the many reasons I like your channel 👍

[@ciaranlane545]

Do you find this lift is more suited to a part time maintainer than a 4 post lift?

[@ObsessedGarage]

I would classify a 4 post as better for storage or alignment.

[@anowzanaw4406]

I don't think for engine replacement

[@bradjd6957]

[@Cris-iw6su]

Yeah, and cleans/snatches.

[@jaywatson656]

Two post lift like Rotary is a much better solution it come complete all you need is electricity and you can park another car below

[@ObsessedGarage]

But you can't open the door all the way of access all the way around the car.

[@johnwalters878]

This is great content and spot on, unfortunately this lift is a complete piece of garbage. It took me too long to get it installed with a custom flush install and now it’s out of warranty. It’s never lifted a car and will only barely lift itself. Dan at Twin Busch hasn’t been able to resolve it. They don’t stock the motor, so it’s the most expensive raised desk ever. Dan blames the power, the electrician says the power is fine. The high magnetic breaker is BS. It’s on a 30 amp dedicated circuit .I can’t trust it to lift a car and risk it getting stuck on the locks. If I can’t get a motor then I guess it’s scap. I am glad Matt doesn’t sell these anymore. A ton of money wasted. Spend 10k and get one that works. Again, zero fault of OG!

[@johnwalters878]

UPDATE: So after working with Dan and Twin Busch in Germany. The lift is still worthless. It won’t even lift itself reliably without stalling the motor. All they do is blame my power, which is not the case. It’s a 15 amp lift ffs. SO DO NOT BUY THIS POS. The refuse to sell me a motor or troubleshoot anything hydraulic related. So I am on my own to either try to disassemble the entire thing to find the issue, or just scrap it. I thought this would be a dream to get a sub 5000.00 lift, but it’s a nightmare. Now for the good: This is the best video on the planet to set up this lift! IF you have one of these that works, use this bleedout/leveling procedure and it’s almost perfect without doing anything. Good luck! Unfortunately I cannot post it here, so reach out to me and I can send the pdf if you want.

[@j-pj4us]

Hey, I’m having the same experience as you. Have you made any progress getting the lift to work? I will try to DM you. Maybe we can pool our resources.

[@johnwalters878]

Yes! I did finally get it working good. I ended up replacing the motor. Costs 400 bucks, but at least it fixed it. I argued with Dan for months, but finally ended up being the motor despite him telling me it couldn’t be bad. I did let him know that it resolved it, so in the future it won’t automatically get rejected as the problem. I do plan on getting the motor torn down to see why it failed. It runs fine with no load, but just won’t produce rated power.

[@j-pj4us]

@@johnwalters878 I have the exact same problem. Runs fine with no load, but locks up when installed. I assume it’s not producing the power it’s supposed to. Very disappointed in Dan and twinbush

[@johnwalters878]

Yeah if you are still having the issue and you have verified you have a solid 20 amp circuit, then just call Dan and order a motor. I am in CA and it was about 65.00 to ship and I thing the motor was 399.00. It’s my fault for waiting on installing before the warranty expired.

[@ObsessedGarage]

$345. Unfortunately that's what they cost.

[@ObsessedHouse]

It's an eye-opener, but if you were to build these yourself, even with a logo of your choice then start from the bottom up and go price all the wheels, lower cradles , buckets, stickers, lids, grit guards and have them all shipped to you and you're already over $200. he's buying in bulk and passing the savings onto you. no one works for free so his profit margin is around 30%. shipping is $50-ish and he has no control over that.
