My place of employment bought a set of these about 5 years ago and they are FANTASTIC!! We decided on the mobile column lifts because of my shops' very small size. They are very , very manuverable. I can lift anything from a Ford Escape to a Navistar 4400. Only had to change the batteries once in 5 years. The batteries are standard deep cycle batteries.
I am gonna tell my wife we need 8 of these, and later drop the requirement to 4. Relieved, she should agree.
Earthquake safe? Especially in the San Fernando Valley.
@@bruceh99 Look at the bright side you should be able to push the truck around while on the lift..
Great compromise!
Very smart strategy!
You are a genius!
Leno's car show is about the best online TV available right now, IMHO. Really enjoying it, and I like how he treats his guests - like the experts they are.
These columns are mostly used in bus shops (municipal and private) some of our customers use them to lift pre-fab houses and some to lift oilfield structures (mud tanks etc). As for lifting but not engaging the tires, there is an adaptor bar that slides onto the forks for lifting on the frame allowing wheel work... or you can raise the vehicle up to the desired height and place it on commercial grade jack stands. And the lifts don't drop the vehicle if the wireless signal is lost, the load holding devices (locks) are always positively engaged and prevents sudden dropping of the load. And even if they do lose signal they just fault out, once the fault is addressed you can resume the lift.
Wish they had these when I was working on buses. No more climbing down into the pit.
Too expensive for the average gear head, but what an amazing well engineered set up.
If I had Leno's money...I'd throw mine away.
@@DogRedful If you had Leno's money you don't care what they cost. Or how they work. Or who uses them. Just point and click!
The portability could make them rentable. Also lets someone renting a shop not damage the floor with bolts.
@@questioner1596 but you could put in like 4 lifts for the starting cost of 1 of these. also, they understand that a shop is going to put lifts in.
@@thenewfbi I'm sure they were "free" from advertising on his channel. Most of us would never of heard of Sterlif without Jay and now some of us are going to order for our garages. I believe its a fair deal for both party', do you concur?
Most shops have a fire extinguisher
Jay has a FIRE TRUCK
Several.
I was impressed that he said Telma brake when he was under it.
07:48 "I let you lift it", "go ahead", "ok" 😂😂
You missed the faint "alright" before the "go ahead" haha
Jay, "I don't trust jackstands."
Seconds later the guy says "these are like big jackstands".
Lol
He lost me at 30k, but my soul still needs them.
Great video. Right about JACKS! Been using them for years and years. We (Machineco in Montreal) bought two 2 post lifts 7000 lb each. - AND .
400,000 pounds for four is our latest acquisition! (No wife so no problem 😁)
Our FOUR Macton 50 ton portable electric locomotive jacks, are also fully synchrionized. AND also made in USA !
... and if anyone is interested. we'd rent or lease or even sell them!
cutting edge of automotive evolution. Thanks Jay, this is more fun than real TV anyway.
Can't believe all the people commenting about how "you can't remove tires with this" This application is for HEAVY DUTY work. Not your little 4 wheelers you use to go to Wal-Mart! HEAVY DUTY as in tractors, trailers and other heavy equipment! Want to do brakes or shocks on your 4 wheeler, use a floor jack and jack stands! Damn boys, it aint hard to figure out!
I like that the weight of the firetruck increases throughout the video. 10 tons, 12 tons, 14 tons.
Ive used an older version of these (not wireless) at the school I attended and they were one of the most useful items around. In answer to your question, what we did in class was use the lifts to bring it up and then drop the car on to four stands just off the ground. This made it really nice because the vehicle landed on all four of the stands at the same time and you didn't have to worry about the balancing act of bringing one end up at a time.
I love that you love your hobby. Everybody should have at least one hobby to make them happy.
Those are great! We used them at NYC Transit for years! And you can work on wheels and tires buy placing jack stands under the vehicle, the lowering one, two or more!
SO COOL! I wish there were an affordable two post lift option for the "corvette crowd."
I worked at a company that bought like 30 of the non battery powered 230v after dealing with other brand battery powered mobile lifts. The Konis were great my favorite. We lifted city buses all day long without a single issue.
Jay , that hair !!! that is the greatest thing since the wheel !
Jay love your shop...awsome..I have a small home shop..800 sq.space..basic oversized 2 car ..I got a globe inground lift..for free..it was 5 yrs old..almost new..its case is fberglassed..so no rust to worry about or leaks..my dad helped me install it got the instructions from s.v.i.in Dekalb, il..we used heavy type copper tubing for under ground air line to casing..then added food grade vegetable oil.into it..to fill...no issues for ground ..no e.p.a. issues to deal with..still works..for me..when I use it..now and then..great video..I.like the open floor look ..old school..ty
Jay garage ,this disabled vet would love tour .who wouldn't want to meet Mr.Jay Leno..
Wow, that was in 2013, can't wait to see the tech now, in 2018...so cool!
I love these wifi mobile column lifts! Very interesting!
Awesome lifts!
I changed my cv shafts on my Plymouth van using these. Just lift up the vehicle and set it on a couple of jack stands. works like a charm. They also make a crossbeam adapter to lift from the chassis. It slips on the forks of two opposing columns.
I worked on a system called synchro lift back in the 1980s. It used an army of Grove RT cranes to lift and move ships in Brazil. The numbers were mind boggeling.
boggling. All the cranes were interconnected and lifted in unison like this system.
Great product and Jay makes it entertaining as always.
To hell with the lifts. The goldleaf work on that fire engine is beautiful.
pretty awesome..yeah people on youtube can complain like they always do..but still, a great set up!
Jay, you're always showing me things I can't afford. I'm going to have to get a new hobby :)
Great product - great video - thanks Jay!
This is awesome! I've been thinking about a 2/4 post for the shed. Streator is 15 miles south of here!
Jay Leno cracks me up all the time. Very funny man !!!
I am stuck with a floor jack and wood blocks, the curse of being poor! Jay's good fortune allows him to have the finest equipment and craftsmen.
Its amazing......thanks Jay......
We had these jacks at the FDNY repair shops. These things were invaluable to us. No you cant remove tires or do brakes, but you can do EVERYTHING else. In my opinion , they were great, when I started there we had to do everything on the floor, try removing a transmission from a fire engine on the floor, not a fun job at all especially when you had nothing but a hand pump jack to lift the truck
Cool, Thanks Jay
I love it ,made in America.
i use these at my job and i work on Transit buses that weigh a little over 40,000 and they work great.
Jay great product showcase
AWESOME!!
Amazing product. I can think of so many businesses that would benefit from them and save garage floor space. If I win the lottery I’m getting some too.
Those are really nice, and its not about something new all the times, they are good, useful in the right environment and 72,000 capacity is very cool. Imagine in a resto shop how useful these could be. I have seen shops where moving vehicles can be a nightmare to get to the lifts when full so.
Love his vids, always has neat stuff. And he looks like he just hopped out of bed. Must be those late nights!!
👍👌👏 Oh WOW! Simply fantastic! A very impressive and stabil quality product.
Thanks a lot for showing taping editing uploading and sharing.
Best regards luck and health.
They've upgraded these lifts,
The ones we use have adjustable forks like a forklift to fit any tire.
They pick up the 60 passenger luxury coaches with no problem
wish i had one when i was working on my truck a few years ago, think that thing spent more time on jack stands than on the road
A perfect retirement job for me is to work in Jay's garage keeping all the vehicles and tools shiny and clean. And making sure each stored vehicle is driven at least every week.
Sorry for your disability.
I agree! What are you gonna do if you need to work on anything that involves the front or rear suspension?
i learnt smthing new today!
Great video,GOD BLESS
Let's not forget this is Jay Leno. I love his garage shows but you rarely see items for the common man! LOL
honey we need this !
He's Got Flowmasters on that old fire truck that's awesome...
Holy crap those are awesome!
Yeah...but you can't work on the wheels!
there is an adapter to lift the frame too
GetMeThere1
"Us" guys could use two of these with feet on them to lift from frame
GetMeThere1 I noticed that to.
I work at KLM Equipment Services at Schiphol Amsterdam and I can assure you CAN get to the wheels. You just have to use different adapters to lift other then on the wheels. We have about 32/36 of these things at the shop(s) and heavier types aswell. I'm not a mechanic but a welder/fabricator but I know for a fact the mechanics just love these lifts! Only difference being that they are wired and synchronized as such too.
McCraezy not on my ride:)
Just what I need in my garage.
Impressive when money is no object!
"ok, let me just go get my firetruck" lol
Nice product
THANK YOU!!!!!!
"As you can see we've moved my firetruck into the shop here..." To which a contestant on Jeopardy replies: "What is something that would only be said by Jay Leno?"
my brother in law had an antique fire truck for a few years then donated it to s local community for parades and such.
I know a guy who bought a used firetruck and when he was asked why he replied "I didn't have one before."
theoriginalbillhol
Not really.
I know of several folks who have old firetrucks as well as shops. Pretty regular folks
There's a DENTAL office in Surprise or Peoria, AZ that is fire station themed with a truck out front.
Looks like Jay was up all night shooting this very informative video! I lobe the stuff you feature on your blog, and have purchased several of the featured items. One of the best? The chrome polish. Keep 'em coming!
Uyg
great lift we used to have them at work. used them 24/7 but our were wired together
My wife sees these and she will try to convince me we need five of these. One extra for just in case. She has two F-250 crew cab trucks, a Chevy 1500 truck, a Chevy conversion van, a Chrysler mini van, a KIA Soul and a 1967 Barracuda Convertible. I talked her into the KIA Soul because the one F-250 gets about 10 miles per gallon because it has a V-10 engine. I showed he that the savings in gas would pay for the KIA Soul.
Very innovative!
They are almost always used in conjunction with tall support stands so that you can lower the suspension or take the wheels off. Most heavy shops are replacing all there drive on or fixed lifts with these mobile ones. Added benefit is they dont tie up bay when you dont want to lift a vehicle.
Still not worth the money
Every time Jay mentions these, he always says "steril koni" but it's obviously spelled "stertil koni" and that is the correct way to say it.
this is a break through for future garages opening.
I love the locking pins
Once Jay says, "Where can i get these?"
He is ready with the cheque book.
8:39 looks at roof clearance, and again at 8:43. Bead of sweat rolls off his head as he says that's good at 8:45 haha. That is a man that loves his toys! I am a man that is jealous of his toys. :) Love the vids Jay!
the only advantage is that they are moble. I could build another garage or car for 30k with a 2 post and still work on wheels,suspension ect... still love Jay and if I had his money I'm sure I'd have a few of these.
the biggest advantage is that you can lift larger longer vehicles without having a massive 4 post lift in your shop at all times
It's great to change a transmission or clutch but what if you need to do a brake or suspension job?
We have these lifts in our garage before they went wireless.They will pick up a 10 wheel rubbish packer and lift it 6 feet in the air.They also sell these super duty jack stands that you roll under the truck if you need the lift for something else.It truly is a great product,with the slide on adapters you can lift a Fiat or a Mack truck.
Mobile Column Lifts aka Hyweama lifts (the 'Hoover' of mobile column lifts) have been around for eons and are used extensively in bus depots, but they have one major limitation - no work can be carried out on the axles. Also, they are dependant on a relatively flat floor otherwise they bind up. One of my clients uses them to steam clean the underside of buses before maintenance work. They get really s*****y but are still reliable.
great video always :)
I think this. Video is amazing
wow! now that is the muat have for any garage!
Looks useful, for anyone that can afford it
Jay “it also has pictures for the morons who can’t read” lmfao classic
have you made a video on the equipment in the background?
Hey Jay...I would have liked to have had one of these when we were restoring the fire engines...yours in your shop and mine on Buena Vista Street....Warm regards, Brian Smith
Jay, tell us when they have one for the guy with a car or pick up to work on.
Sweet guys!
Jay Leno is to cars what Oprah is to books. Getting the call to be on here is call for cracking the champagne.
Very coooooooool lifts..!!
these are perfect for an 18 wheeler. semi truck shop for changing the clutch and transmission
EXACTLY! These are for heavy duty work, not cars!
Cool product!
Pretty sweet!
Your cool Leno. Got the Firetruck for the parades too.
ok. I´ve driven a car off the lift.....HAAAA... Jay...you make me laugh. That´s why I like your videos.... LOL.. Jay...you rock. !!!!
Great invention All American!!
Very nice!
Maybe the smartest thing i've seen this year
U put the vehicle on jack stands to work on the wheels / airbags ect. I use these everyday at work there awsome
very nice product .. !!
I had that same thought. Be great for drive train, or exhaust, work though.
I like this guy and that is a great product. Please make a passenger car version!
very cool like it
