3.0 out of 5 stars Sturdy lift. Stupid reservoir.

Well, it's a great value. And once in place and at max height, it's rock-steady. These are good things.But as others have mentioned, the reservoir is absolutely TOO SMALL. This is just inexcusable bone-headedness. The instructions (such as they are) specify that the capacity is 3.8 liters--that's conveniently one gallon. But after bleeding the system thoroughly, and checking the big bolt (22 mm!) on the back (nice of them to put an access hole in the back of the carrier, but there's nothing to stop oil from pouring out when checking/bleeding), the system will NOT accept one gallon... until you put the lift up, lowering the reservoir. So when it's time to let it down, you MUST use a siphon or huge syringe to remove the excess, or else it's all over your floor. This would be such an easy fix, but apparently the manufacturer can't be bothered.When mine is fully raised--or at least, as far as I can raise it with only one gallon of fluid--one of the four mechanical locks won't engage. I don't think it's a risk, but I won't be getting under the car until I have a jackstand under it. Hope I can find one that's less than about 14.5 inches at minimum extension (it will have to go on a piece of 5/8" plywood on top of the base).As others have mentioned, the lowering is passive, so you really have to help it go down once the weight of the vehicle is off of it. And yes, they're heavy, but not stupidly so. I don't plan to walk them around the block.The wheels are cheap (some urethane ones with actual bearings would be a nice fix), but careful when installing: You have to install them so the mounts curve *up* so they're out of the way when the lift is lying flat, if you don't want the combined weight of the lift and your vehicle resting on them. The instructions don't say anything about that.I don't regret the purchase, as of my first time using it. If I had to raise and lower vehicles several times a day, that stupid reservoir would be a deal-killer.

5.0 out of 5 stars Car lift

Very nice unit. Good price and shipping. Best part is coming pre built all you need to do is add oil and you’re ready to go. I’ve used it on 4 different vehicles from an S type jaguar to a Ford explorer and it gives me the clearance I needed for jobs from oil changes and tire rotation to a/c replacement. If you can’t use a full size two post this is a great option. Yes it’s heavy but easy to set up and take down. It’s a very well built unit.

Great lift. Tested it with my golf cart as something light and easy to cycle the fluid first time. Noticed the reservoir is not large enough for the capacity of the circuit and hydraulic cylinders. I heard air getting pulled in and was not fully raised. Added more fluid, lowered to push air back into fluid tank but didn't lower all the way. It then was able to raise fully. Then lowered back down all the way and excess fluid was pushed out. Decided it does work well enough for what I need it to do and I can upgrade the fluid tank. So, the real test came. Unloading an oversized load off my trailer. Worked quite well all things considered. This thing is heavy and so I pull it around with my golf cart and a ratchet strap for short trips, or two people and heft it into the back of the golf cart. Will certainly be very helpful for regular car maintenance and fixing up a classic car.

I got the 7000lb lift and it works great. The only thing I would change is the directions suck. I have been rotating tires, changing oil and brakes. Shortly this lift will have paid for itself. I did put ball bearing rollers on it to make it easier to move. They are available at Harbor Freight.

This lifted my Ram like it was nothing! Wish I bought this sooner. Great lift for low roof garages. Order a gallon of ISO 46AW hydraulic fluid before it comes in so you don't have to wait to play with it. It does not come with fluid. Also, you have to contact the freight company to schedule delivery. Amazon does not do that for you. You get the shipping company name once it ships and you can go to their website with the order number to schedule. They do require you to be present during a 4 hour window. Overall, super happy I ordered!

Lift came nicely crated with all parts wrapped and secured within. Pump unit seems pretty heavy duty and has a sight glass to easily see when the hydraulic fluid is full. Hydraulic hoses and quick disconnect fittings also appear to be good quality. The lifts themselves are very heavy duty. Setup was simple and the air bleeding process was quick. The safety locks, two on each side, worked great. They engage automatically and are simple to disengage when you are ready to lower the vehicle. Within 30 minutes I had my vehicle up in the air and the tires rotated. With the height adapters I got the vehicle above 24" off the floor so there's plenty of room to work on, under and around the vehicle. This makes maintenance so much easier.
