- What sets the Advantage Lifts apart from apart from the competitions out there?
We're the best! Why? We'll show you with the Advantage DX-9000-XLT. One of the best residential four post lifts on the market, and has always been built with the company mantra of “Quality, Safety & Strength” in mind. Solid square post that is expertly designed to work without wobble or compromise. Watch more for a detailed overview! - Авто та транспорт
After researching many two posts lifts I have decided I'm going get the Advantage AL-12C, from the stout design, the customer service I've read about, the packaging and your YT installation videos and ultimately the price. This seems to be a great product, can't wait to get one once my garage is finished.
I really appreciate the really good videos put out by Tony. I think I have now watched every youtube video on Advantage lifts, as well as all the other lifts out there! I just purchased a SS-11000-WD. The main reasons I went an Advantage lift were the stable & stronger design, solid lubable pulley bushings, larger cables, capacity, and the 220V motor. In fact, I think you should make the 220V motor available as an extra cost upgrade option on all your lifts. It is the only (minor) complaint I have ever heard on an Advantage or Backyard Buddy lift. I realize having a 120V motor makes the lift much portable/moveable, but for those that have a dedicated lift location it would be an excellent option. Oh I forgot one more reason I like Advantage better, mechanical lock release instead of air. Well done! Thank you!
I’ve had mine a few years and they are by far the best on the market today. If you’re looking for a lift don’t hesitate to buy this. You will not be disappointed.
Tony, I want to personally thank you for your knowledge and expertise on these lifts. I recently just received and installed my double bay four post advantage lift last week. While doing endless research on different lift styles, I really honed in on the advantage lift, and a large part of it is due to these videos on youtube. More specifically, the in-depth analysis of the safety features, and design cues that go into the mynute detailed portions of the lifts. I can honestly say that these videos helped sell my left and components. I always appreciate people that are dedicated to what they do, and I appreciate you. Thank you for all the great content and I love the lift.
We are super flattered by your comment, thanks so much for your feedback. We can't thank you enough for choosing Advantage over so many other options in the marketplace and glad you walked away with more knowledge. Like they say, "The more you know." Love to see the ride you have on your lift so connect with us on social and show us your set up.
Super happy DX-9000-XLT owner! I've had mine for 1 year 1 month now and zero problems
That's awesome!
Thanks for this video. Considered a Wildfire but came upon some negative comments on the cable pulley bearings. I liked the explanation on the secondary lock and using bushings instead of bearings. I’m going to go with Advantage.
Awesome!
Interesting , Thank You . A fine example saftety first design . As we all know any component can fail any time , so redundancy is good. Grease is good , remembering to grease better.
I have the American made version of this hoist, the Backyard Buddy version, I picked it up at the factory right before Advantage bought out Backyard Buddy, i purchased the center solid deck which takes two guys to remove and install the four sections, very heavily built , I store my 2003 F350 4x4 on it, handles it fine, my only complaint is the little tin covers that protect the pulleys didn’t line up correctly on assembly, the foam ramps leave a lot to be desired and could be improved to be like the Advantage offering, other than that I’m happy with it the hoist, Advantage is the Chinese version of the Backyard Buddy for those who don’t know, no idea but I’m guessing patents expired and like everything else today the Chinese copied it with cheaper labor and lessor quality steel, that’s why I went with the Backyard buddy, try to keep American workers employed, you get what you pay for, I’m a 25 year auto/diesel mechanic and part time welder and also have a Rotary 2 point hoist
Is the backyard buddy chinese made, after Advantage bought it??
@@rmd440 I’m pretty sure it’s still made in the same plant in Ohio
@@rmd440 the web site still says US made.
I guess this is why the Backyard Buddy version is like 40% more. I don't like the welds on some of those Advantage version. I don't trust anything coming out of China; especially steel that I'm standing under.
Absolutely NOT, Backyard Buddy is still Made in USA in Warren, Ohio. That will NEVER change.
Howdy, I have a 2 year old Wildfire and within 40 uses a bearing crumbled. I had to change all 10 bearings and made a few videos about the problem and the Wildfire response and the fix. I hear you say you all use bushings.. so no bearings? I like the check valve on the hydros. About bearings or bushings... I don't know what's best but I feel good about my bearing upgrade and I do admire your attention to detail. Bobby
Bushings you can self grease, that's the benefit because the bearings have failure issues because you have no access to grease them. That is why we use bearings instead of bearings and we recommend our customers to grease them every 3-6 months depending on use.
I was convinced this would be my next purchase until I say 'Made In China' on the ID tag at approximately 6:10.
Yes, our Advantage brand of lifts are manufactured in China, but we take the highest amount of precaution to make sure each lift is built with the utmost quality. If you're still interested in our lifts or our company, we have our Backyard Buddy line of lifts which are assembled in Warren, Ohio!
Looks like a solid well build 4 Post, are these made in China or USA?
These lifts are designed in the U.S., but made in China. We pride ourselves on the quality and sturdiness of our lifts which our competition can't beat!
@@advantage_lifts In a previous reply above, from 3 months ago, you state "Backyard Buddy is still Made in USA in Warren, Ohio. That will NEVER change"......Would you please clear this up for me, is it made in USA or china? Thank you.
They have two lines of lifts. The advantage are made in China but they seem to maintain good quality control. The backyard buddy line is made in the USA. @@BenModified
