I bought one of these generic lifts several years ago and am very happy with it. Very strong and simple to use. The big advantages are ease of use with a wide variety of vehicles, no need to modify the floor to use it (they spread the load over a huge area) and they are relatively easy to move around with the provided wheel set. They are a very good compromise for a home garage and can be easily taken with you if you move house. Be aware that they don't seem to ship with any grease in the pivot points, so hit them hard with grease on initial install.

​@@AlfisGarage Hello, do you know how to set the lowering speed of the lift with a load?

@AlfisGarage

8 күн бұрын

@@seweryndymkowski5085 there is unfortunately just 1 setting for lowering speed - because the lift doesn’t know of there is load or not. If you set it slow while there is car on the lift, it will be really slow if the lift is empty. It is set by simple screw on the hydraulic pump that you loosen/tighten and it is regulating how fast the fluid can go thru that valve.

I hired a mini digger with driver and watched him dig in the pre-marked place a pit then re-enforced it, added lights and made up a strong cover from railway sleepers/holders with handles 🛤 . Painted them bright yellow 😅 et voilà. Now i can stand underneath the car and all done with €350 💪. But your choice is fine as me personally my one suited me best. Good video👌👍

I have been looking for a budget lift for my garage here in the US. I really don’t care if it’s made in China as long as it’s solidly built and it’s within my budget. I like the design of this one and it seems pretty well made to me. Plus it has that open middle area which I want. And I have to say you did a good job rerouting all those lines.

There is a chrome pin at the top of the rams you need to check the position and tightness of the grub screws ,plus the magnetic push piston that lift the ratchet latches need to be kept clean from dust build up , other wise the lift is good for years use.Any problems with the lift not lifting look at the trip switch near the safety latch as these can get damaged very easily .You have to drive your car so the engine is over the hydraulic rams or you can bend the lift with a heavy car.👍

Interesting video, nice product, and very tidy work. Maybe this is a silly question, but couldn't you have just turned the lift around to put the fittings on the side you needed? Does it matter which way the lift is oriented? Thanks, and cheers from Canada.

@AlfisGarage

4 ай бұрын

Thanks for watching - not a silly question at all - I reckon I should have clarified that in the video. You can turn the lift around, but the engine needs to be at front part of the lift - there is even a warning sticker on the lift reminding of this. Reason for that is that the rear "legs" are moving towards the front when it is raised. Therefore cars which are front heavy (ie. most FWD cars) the weight needs to be at the leg which is not moving - otherwise in extreme situation, the car could fall off the lift. This is unlikely to happen as usually the weight difference between front and rear is not huge - but it is better to be safe than sorry :)

There is actually a front side of the lift - the legs are moving towards the front when it is raising and the car front is usually heavier so it should be at front. I’ll do a follow up and will try to explain, as many people raised the question :)

Its a great video, but the bloody music is driving me crazy

I don’t get it you mentioned how you were concerned about #Warranty and that’s why you didn’t buy from China, you definitely don’t have any warranty now you cut up the wires

@AlfisGarage

Ай бұрын

Fair question, but depending on what goes wrong, cutting up the cables may or may not be related to the warranty claim. Also, i could still put everything back as it was - I didn’t do any irreversible changes.

Don’t know if I’d feel safe under that

That’s a fair point, but it is certainly safer than jack stands and in my view safer than many other alternatives. The metal used is thick and as long as both safety locks are engaged, it is not going to collapse. 👍

Could you not just turn the lift around and put the ramps on the other end rather than all that extra work

@AlfisGarage

Front of the car should be at the front of the lift, due to the way how scissor legs move and cars are usually heavier at the front. If I would turn it around, I would have to reverse onto the lift to be able to use it. I’ll do a follow up video, as this question was raised couple of times :)

omg all you had to do was rotate the whole lift with pipes coming out by the wall lol

No, actually not. The lift would be backwards.

You could have just spun it around 180 degrees.

Because these lifts have front and rear side and the car front should be at front of the lift due to weight distribution and how the legs are moving. I’ll do a follow up video, as the question was asked many times, so stay tuned!

First question: Which country has 3 phase 400v power supply in homes? 😳

@AlfisGarage

Ай бұрын

I'm in Slovakia, most houses have 3 phase power supply and I think this is true for many countries in Europe :) Apartments/flats have usually 1 phase - but even for those you can request to have 3 phase installed.

@Nite-owl

Ай бұрын

@@AlfisGarage Interesting. It's 220 in UK and I don't think I've ever seen power adaptors for sale meant for Europe other than 220 or 240 (old UK domestic voltage) Google also seems to think that the voltage used throughout Europe has been harmonised at 230v since January 2003 (though it does state that it doesn't mean there has been a real change in the supply) Certainly in the UK 3 phase is only really found in commercial buildings such as garages/machine shops etc.

@AlfisGarage

Ай бұрын

@@Nite-owl Of course we have 230V - that's the usual 1 phase voltage in any home :)... it was 220V in the past... but it has been standardized as you say to 230V now..... when you have 3 phases of 230V, across the phases you would measure 400V (in the past it was 380v)

It depends, I didn’t do any irreversible changes, so I could put it back as it was + I didn’t do anything to any of the components or mechanics.

That is fair and I would agree if it would rely only on hydraulics or electronics. However with mechanical locks, there is not much that can go wrong - the steel is thick and strong and I guess steel is a steel, regardless of where is it made :)

I don't like it, worked in a hydraulic shop , anything from broken hose to blowed out china packing, that is made. They are better and safer lifts on the market than this.
