Revere Overland I think yours has been on it more than mine, lol

I installed the 10,000 lb Aplus floor plate model and love it. It easily handles my F150 crew cab rear wheel drive . I use four two ton jack stands for safety.

Just installed this lift in my barn, pleasantly surprised. Lifts my 2005 Dodge 3500 Cummins like a toy, no regrets. Love it! Thanks for your video and I recommend buying direct for the best deal, they will drop it off at your residential drive in less than a week.

Same here. I bought a forklift first and couldn't live without it anymore. Best tool you can buy. I've been undecided on 2 post vs 4 post for some time now which led to the forklift purchase first. Very glad I made that choice.

Very informative video that has been helpful for many of our customers. Thank you!

Informative. One thing I made note on is to make sure when standing the two lifts vertical, make sure my small child is not near where they could fall.

This is an incredible video! Hey I'm Christina from APlusLift.I've been on the front lines here at APlusLift since 2021 so I wasn't here when you bought your lift.

Did you buy bagged concrete from hardware store or got ready mix frome concrete place

How low to the ground does the lift arms go?

looks great man, im looking at this same one. how is the shipping ? do they show up in like a big rig and a fork lift or ? It would be nice if it was possible to just have the delivery company set it right on my barn floor. i just had a slab poured and re-enforced with rebar. Its only about 4 1/2 " thick . But i know some of them require 5" thick. Did they unload it on your drive way if they delivered it or could they have loaded it into your garage ? i dont have a tractor or any heavy piece of equipment to move something like that so im just trying to get an idea of what the whole process is when it arrives. I have a really tall roof on the barn here (16ft) so they should'nt have any issue driving a fork lift in here. We have had lowes even with their big fork lifts on the back of their trucks pull into the barn, unload and 180 out of there no problem. Thanks !

Review Guy mine was shipped on a flat bed that did not have a fork lift. I know you can pick it up at the dock of your local shopping company if you have a flatbed trailer, then you could in pack it on the trailer. Not sure if you can arrange dork lift delivery or not

How long did shipping take?

4'x4'x6" is typically for a lift this size, people have a tendency to overdo it. But always follow manufacturers reccomendations. It's a pretty basic but crucial details and If the manufacturer doesn't have it listed, that's not a good sign and I'd look for a different manufacturer

I am in the process of installing this exact lift and I am very happy with it except for the very poor quality anchors that were sent with it. I used them but in hindsight I wish I had bought 5/8 inch lead set anchors and used 5/8 threaded rod instead of these. The lead sets are by far superior. But the lift is going up well and seems to heavy duty.

Aplus is actually a chinese company using US warehouse addresses to ship from. If you research their product origin, you will find a shipment history from Asian countries. These lifts are fine for the home enthusiast wanting to put a lift in their barn or garage. However, these are not ALI certified for use in the US. The certification is for European Countries which have laxer electrical regulations that the US.

Is the lift certified. If not don't walk under it. They fail.
