I was going to dismiss this until you put a corvette on it. A couple questions though: 1) Doesn't the bar keep from using a creeper or mobile chair? It's not high enough to stand under. 2) Just how high does it go up? 3) It looked like the front tire was hitting the lift on the vette? Or very close? 4) Seems a bit expensive - I'm seeing prices nearly $3000 4) How would you store this if you don't have room in your garage floor to the side?
Great video. This lift looks better and sturdier then the quick jack 7000 tl I've been looking into. Quick jack looks weak to me. What are your thoughts on the quick jack and what is the price of your unit?
Thank you for the great review! Regarding the Twin Bush TW S3-10E vs the Quick Jack 7000 TL....I feel the Twin Bush appears more beefy. However, there is one thing I am struggling with when it comes to the Twin Bush. While you can certainly move it around, what are you going to do if you need to get it out of the way? Gas Tachs garage is pretty bi, so you can move it to another bay. If you do not have that luxury, or are using the second bay, where are you going to put this one? It looks like both ramps are connected. Not to advertise Quick Jack here as I have no affiliation (just looking for an inexpensive and sturdy solution myself), but the QJ is about $1k cheaper- nothing to sneeze at for me....
I would need a simple lift just to prevent the 4 tires from touching the ground so that long term storage won’t create permanent flat spots in the tires wi his the present problem I have now. Is there something like this?
New Sub here, was looking for reviews on this lift and found your channel. Have you used this lift to pull a transmission? Is the space between the runners sufficient to comfortably work in that area?
I like that you can access the center undercarriage area unlike the one piece scissor lift. Seems like residential delivery would be a hassle for me without a lift gate truck or a forklift. I'll have to look into delivery to a local terminal where they could load it to my trailer.
You say the lift does not need an air compressor, however, the link you provided has, in Red Letters " ( air compressor will be needed, minimum 30 amp breaker required) " care to explain?
The best part about the lift is it come in Blue.I did not know about the moving kit. Now it is a tool that I need as I can use it out doors and store it inside Thanks
Yes since I got mine the price has gone up, but keep in mind this is a smaller company and the prices increase faster so the post lifts will also go up in price soon
So does this require a 15 or 20amp receptacle? My friend brought one brand new a while and has never got it working. It seemed as it didn’t have enough power. Any ideas.
I have the S-19 and I never got mine working either. It won’t work with 30 amps. It won’t reliably lift the platform itself . It’s the most expensive raised desk I have ever owned. All they do is blame the power and offer no real help. Even if you do get these lifts working, you shouldn’t trust it to be able to get it down if it gets stuck on the locks. Maybe these work in Europe, but not in the US. I can’t even get them to sell me a new motor. So in my opinion, if you can’t get parts from this company, it’s worthless even if it’s built well.
Thanks for the video. The only thing I'm not keen on are the 2 bars that could restrict access underneath the car, I fear that you could stumble over them when crawling around under the car
I have a Twin Busch lift. Unfortunately they no longer have a branch here in the USA which makes parts much harder to get and more expensive. It also makes it so I can’t obtain accessories for mine such as the extension bars I found on their website that I’d love to have on my lift for larger vehicles and trucks. With lack of parts/accessories availability I can’t say I’d highly recommend Twin Busch mid rise lifts and I’ve also had a couple parts go bad on mine such as the magnetic safety latch release. The control panel also is not easily detachable (such as quick connects for the hydraulic lines and a simple plug or two for the electrical between the lift and panel) which makes it much harder to move the unit as a whole once assembled. It’s extremely heavy as well which also makes it hard to move. My guess is it has to be around at least 800-1,100lbs as my compact tractor struggles to lift it when I need to move it on occasion in my shop to clean….
Great Video, thanks for sharing. Was looking for something functional as an alternate to the old school column style lift. I will be considering this as a solution.
@@GasTachs I called them. They said due to the nature of the scissor lift, there has to be higher "pre-lift" in order to lift heavier vehicle such as Model Y. The vehicle is lower than normal vehicle which add to the problem. The solution is to add more platform for it to drive on so the lift has more leverage and better angle for the hydraulic system to extend. I think it's kinda like you need to extend the radius to apply more torque.
Hi Warrick, Many thanks for making this video. I just want to let you know that I purchased this lift from the link that you provided on EBAY. The first thing different is that mine doesn't say Twin Busch on it. It is just like yours, the same color, but it says XinKong on the control tower. I am impressed by how easy it is to move in my garage and with the structure quality. I have one question though. Mine came with a 110V cord already attached to the tower. When I plug it in to a standard 110V outlet nothing happens when I push the buttons. When I read the writing on the lift pump it says 220V. So I emailed the seller auto-repair-equipment and told them. They responded "This model is for 220 volt if manufacture put a 110 volt pulg on this unit plz use a 220 volt plug adapter will fix the issue." My question to you sir is do you use a 220V to 110V adapter on yours? If you do use an adapter, please respond with a link for the proper adapter so I do not ruin this brand new unit by doing something wrong. Thank you
So being a bigger guy, how uncofrtable is it getting to the middle of the car to do a midpipe, or whatever else one would need to do in the center without being able to roll a chair under? Is your Z lowered?
the e bay one is not from twin bush. twin bush web site shows being discontinue. i really want the full but when i e mailed and ask they say supply shortage and in a year will be up to date. that was last year so dont know if they stopped selling it the u.s. seems like you can get it in uk though sighhh.
We have this same lift, I dont like that you have to add wood or ramps to use the lift,. or modify the concrete or flooring. and its too long it hits almost all the tires of each car, so its not very easy to use, cant just drive a car up, set blocks and lift. Useful but a pain at times.
Hi friend, question for you. Have you found any vehicles that were not able to work due to the drive over platforms being the jack points? Reason I ask is because I have a big range of vehicles by size (tiny bmw z4, c6 corvette, several hummers, and a humvee). My concern is that I will find a limitation with where the platforms don't reach the jacking points on the vehicles. I am debating between this lift and a similar midrise that uses adjustable arms to pivot around to the lift points of the vehicles but Ive love to hear if you came across any vehicles personally that didn't work. My widest vehicle (humvee) is 84" wide. From what I see online, these tracks around about 75" wide so driving over them with the humvee may be difficult. Cheers!
Seems like a decent lift for oil changes but you aren't changing tires rotations or doing brake jobs. Still looking for the perfect lift. Good luck I know!! LOL
I've had mine for about 2 years and was told my Twin Busch not to lift trucks because they aren't balanced and of course the bulk of the weight is towards the front and could damage the lift. Ha e you had any troubles lifti g your trucks?
You’re right, not anymore since it ended over a year ago. But it’s stupid people like you which made me stop! Gave the tools away believe it or not. Move on BYE!
I want to work on the transmission of a ‘93 Dodge Dakota. Will there be space between the lifters to get at the transmission to take it out? It looks pretty small space between the lifters.
Great video! This might be exactly what I'm looking for because I have a variety of vehicles: Expedition, Miata, BMW and I really disliked the idea of going with a two-post lift in my home garage. Unlike some of the other lifts, this lift looks like it can get my Expedition up high enough to work on it. I'm going to check out your other videos to see if you have it in action with the Expy.
*BUY YOUR LIFT TODAY* Use this link bit.ly/BESTCARLIFT
I was thinking between 5-6K.. its actually 2400 new... not bad - All i need is the car so i can get the lift
I was going to dismiss this until you put a corvette on it.
A couple questions though:
1) Doesn't the bar keep from using a creeper or mobile chair? It's not high enough to stand under.
2) Just how high does it go up?

Loved the video. Look forward to the next one.
Thanks !
Welp I’m subscribing lmao thanks
I like this scissor lift design better than others. You can actually get under it for exhaust work, or transmission drops, etc.
Great video. This lift looks better and sturdier then the quick jack 7000 tl I've been looking into. Quick jack looks weak to me. What are your thoughts on the quick jack and what is the price of your unit?
You have the lift placed the wrong way. according the manual you have to turn it 180 degrees.
Thank you for the great review! Regarding the Twin Bush TW S3-10E vs the Quick Jack 7000 TL....I feel the Twin Bush appears more beefy.

Did you bolt your lift to the ground? Cause it's on those slippery swisstrax's.
I don't believe he bolted it to the floor, since he said that he is moving it outside when he needs more clearance.
Looks pretty good. I was kinda surprised how fast it seems.
I would need a simple lift just to prevent the 4 tires from touching the ground so that long term storage won’t create permanent flat spots in the tires wi his the present problem I have now. Is there something like this?
New Sub here, was looking for reviews on this lift and found your channel. Have you used this lift to pull a transmission? Is the space between the runners sufficient to comfortably work in that area?
Havent done any transmission work, but should be enough space
Like this unique lift, the mobility and plug in option 👍
Yes indeed!
I like that you can access the center undercarriage area unlike the one piece scissor lift. Seems like residential delivery would be a hassle for me without a lift gate truck or a forklift. I'll have to look into delivery to a local terminal where they could load it to my trailer.
Glad this video helped!
I got one. It's great. I made a lot of new friends too. :)
You say the lift does not need an air compressor, however, the link you provided has, in Red Letters " ( air compressor will be needed, minimum 30 amp breaker required) " care to explain?
Im about to order the same lift for a c6 z06 also, any problem with it? Any recommendations?
Get a hellcat
😂😂😂
Hey Bro...do you have a video lifting Truck like Silverado. I want to see how you position them. I am thinking of buying this for my truck. thanks!
Best I can do ua-cam.com/video/Dz3L6jmyf7c/v-deo.html
I wouldn't 😊 pay that much for that Lyft I'd get a different one anyways from Harbor Freight
Great lift. Looks super simple 👍👍👍
Twin bush is no longer in US. I contacted them about leaking hose connection. Ended up emailing the headquarter.
Great lift I have the same set up but I removed the swisstrax from under it because it would slide around on the tracks
The best part about the lift is it come in Blue.I did not know about the moving kit. Now it is a tool that I need as I can use it out doors and store it inside Thanks
When I first got the lift I didnt get the tool and move this lift was a pain. The tool makes it perfect!
I know this is an older video, but I was curious if you had any issues with the lift on the Swisstrax?
nope, no issues at all
I wish would love to have one in my garage
I need to make a decision on some kind of lift. This one is approaching the cost of post lifts tho.
Yes since I got mine the price has gone up, but keep in mind this is a smaller company and the prices increase faster so the post lifts will also go up in price soon
@@GasTachs Post lifts are already prohibitively expensive. The MaxJax is nearly $4000
I definitely need those lifts!!
So does this require a 15 or 20amp receptacle? My friend brought one brand new a while and has never got it working. It seemed as it didn’t have enough power. Any ideas.
Mine works on a 20, if he never got it working maybe there is a loose wire in the control box
my ex is a total receptacle

@@johnwalters878If you go to the website it says these are 220 volt. It won't work on a 110 volt American electric grid.
The lifts sold in the US run on 110v power.
Im sorry, show your heaviest vehicle. Please
Curious if i could put one in my driveway 🤔
I watched the assembly vid the company produced. Did you really have to wire the electrical yourself when you received it?
Just simple plugs
Plan to get one of those one day. No brainer for lower ceilings
Agree!
Thanks for the video.
The only thing I'm not keen on are the 2 bars that could restrict access underneath the car, I fear that you could stumble over them when crawling around under the car

Wow nice I'm look into get that type of fast lift for my home 👍👍
👌🏻
out of stock, looks like a good deal.
Can a big guy like this guy get in between the ramps to work on drivelines or exhaust?
I mean I have video of me doing it so yup.
Are you able to lift a Tesla Model Y? It wouldn't go up for me. Can you try it?
unfortunately i dont have a Model Y handy..

@@GasTachs thanks for the response. I think I am leaning to a 4 post now, but it’s gonna be tight!
@@PMPerformance have you seen those 1 post movable lifts? I was going to try those next
@@GasTachs yea, I’m a little skeptical though and losing mid section access.
Concrete thickness will probably be more an issue with that
I need one of these. However I have a single car garage.
I do drove on and off of it every time I take the corvette out. It's pretty easy once you get used to it.
Great VID. Thanks buddy!
Thanks, and thanks for stopping by!
Something I've been wanting to add to my garage. I like those ramps.
A must have if you work in cars
@@GasTachshow much it cost boss?
Some engineers telling that, scissor lifts are unsafe, they prefer columns, traditional ones. How do you doing so far?

Me too!
That lift would be perfect for my Audi B5S4 and Vw Beetle
Looks just like what I might need for my garage.

Do you think getting 2 of these lifts it can lift my 5 ton motorhome?
This is exactly what I was looking for. Nice work on video
Seems like a decent lift for oil changes but you aren't changing tires rotations or doing brake jobs. Still looking for the perfect lift. Good luck I know!! LOL
I do all of that and it isn’t an issue. Put lifts on 2 trucks with the lift too…
I LIKE WHAT YOU ARE DOING I NEED ONE LIKE THIS
Just get an actual lift.
Thanks for watching! 😘
I might need to get one
Makes my lift easier, I would recommend!
I love it! On my wish list!!!
Also the twin Busch company will not sell to USA due to electrical hook ups just got off line with them. What gives

I've had mine for about 2 years and was told my Twin Busch not to lift trucks because they aren't balanced and of course the bulk of the weight is towards the front and could damage the lift. Ha e you had any troubles lifti g your trucks?
The biggest issue I have had is if the weight is not centered left to right the lift does not like that. Other than that all good

I highly doubt anyone really wins tools by just doing this there's my comment
You’re right, not anymore since it ended over a year ago.
But it’s stupid people like you which made me stop! Gave the tools away believe it or not. Move on BYE!
I want to work on the transmission of a ‘93 Dodge Dakota. Will there be space between the lifters to get at the transmission to take it out? It looks pretty small space between the lifters.
It’s possible but won’t be fun
Can you easily remove the ramps? I need to lift a MIata and I would need to remove 1 side after the car is in place.
Any chance I could use only one side of the lift via complete separation of 1/2 of the lift for a Motorcycle??

wish it was about 48 inches
