Awesome video! I'm seriously considering this same lift. 2 questions for you; what has been the heaviest vehicle you have had on the lift & do the arms also adjust to asymmetric?
You should have connected the AC90 Armored Cable directly inside the Motor Control Box Terminals or used some SOOW cable from the junction box. Butt Splice connections like that are ok for cars but not 240V power cables.
@@Wigwhom86 yea.....beginning of May. Super frustrating as the distributor consistently told me it was a week out for 6 weeks. My advice is to find a local distributor.....buying online was less than ideal for "after sale support" from the distributor & mfg. That said, once I worked though the issues (on my own), I really like the lift!
Regarding the delay in getting now, I was able to pick mine up at a regional warehouse in Kalamazoo within 2 days, so guessing that’s improved significantly. One lesson learned for anyone installing, regarding anchor bolts - make sure nuts are down well below top of anchor and hit the anchor head, not the nut, as it will wreck the threads. Had a couple in before I found that out when I went to try and tighten. Now awaiting a tap and die set to try and clean them up and get the nuts to thread. Otherwise, not sure how I’ll get the partially stripped anchors out.
Massive overkill for the foundation. I've had a 14000 lb. Bendpak bolted to 4" concrete with mesh for 6 years lifting class C motorhomes with zero cracking or stabilization issues. More is better, but 12" wayyyyy too much. But great job.
The instructions for that lift clearly state that the concrete must be a minimum of 4", without any reinforcing rebar material. As that rebar rusts it will make the lift unstable.
Some building codes require concrete floors to have rebar or mesh. The instructions are garbage and its a ridiculous statement for them to make. The strength of the floor, i.e. it’s ability to withstand loads without cracking is determined by the thickness of the concrete and the adequacy of the base under it rather than the amount of reinforcing. With that said, rebar will prevent any cracks that occur from opening up and maintain the integrity of the slab. Companies like Bendpak don't even mention rebar so it's a non-issue. This lift is manufactured by Peak Lift in China and AMGO just rebrands it. I have the 10K lb version from Peak Lift in grey installed on my floor that has rebar and mesh. If the rebar rusts and the floor comes apart, I've got bigger problems than an unstable lift.
Can't wait, AMGO in SC is nearby for easy p/u's, and the wheel-cradle accessory looks REALLY awesome for my low clearances!
Can I get some pics of how you ran you safety cable. I think I’m missing parts on mine

Do they have screw adjustable height pads?
Wondering if you hit any of the rebar or mesh while drilling , I know they make a bit that cuts thru the rebar also
How did you attach the baseplate?
Were your anchor plates flat? They look to be, mine were not flat which is the only complaint I have with the lift.
You should have connected the AC90 Armored Cable directly inside the Motor Control Box Terminals or used some SOOW cable from the junction box. Butt Splice connections like that are ok for cars but not 240V power cables.
Thanks for the heads up! I’ll get it fixed 💪🏾
About how long did it take to get??
I ordered a four post AMGO mid-December 2021 and still waiting......
seeesh, did you ever get it? im thinking of ordering one once my concrete cures

@@FreedomIsntFree2023 thank you the heads up. Ive researched every low profile 2 post lift on the market and this seems to be the best value

Would've appreciated a little more narration and instruction, but thank you anyways.

Not on the proper lifting points...
