"The main limitation for me is that the narrow span of the legs (which was optimized to fit under a vehicle between the front wheels for use as a engine hoist) limits the general usefulness somewhat since you can only position it over a load that is either raised such that the legs fit under it or narrow enough to straddle the load."
"My husband spent his entire life working as a auto technician and was most impressed with this hoist for the money."
"I used this crane to put my RF-30 mill into/out of my truck when I moved across town."
"Came in two separate boxes and I was worried a piece may be missing because of torn box."
"There were absolutely no instructions and although it wasn't too hard to figure out, knowing the best order of assembly would have been nice. It works fine and is doing what I needed, but most joints are sloppy so things are not a rigid as you would hope and I have to be very careful moving it loaded."
"I use it to help w/ removing , storing & installing heavy attachments on the 3pt hitch of by tractor."

"Great lift, assembly was easy and it does a great job."
"Love this lift, tall enough it clears my head, even have to lower it down to reach the bottom of cars and I am 5 10."
"If you are buying a car lift I would hope that you have some mechanical ability."
"I have a part-time repair shop that I do brakes, tires, exhaust, etc... I had a mid-rise scissor lift before this and while it worked good there was no access to underneath the vehicle for exhaust work or brake lines, etc... I currently have a shop with just 10 foot high ceilings but I am able to get vehicles up high enough to sit under them and work."
"The motor always blows my dedicated 110v/20amp circuit breaker and if you read on the motor spec decal attached to the hydraulic pump it actually says 110v/30amp."

"Lift your car up, place stands, lower onto Jacks, and then do the opposite to get your car back on the ground. Do NOT use this as a substitute for stands, or to keep your car lifted any longer than it needs to be---you risk damaging your car, and more importantly, yourself."
"I used to have a Walker jack so it was hard to find a comparable replacement without spending $500. Still a long time to wait but worth it and I would have waited longer, it is that nice of a jack. The only jack made in the USA that I could find cost almost three times as much."
"I got sick and tired of garbage cheap floor jacks sold at the parts stores. it is joined at the center by a bolt the swagged top section slips into the lower part loosely the tubing has thick walls and the bolt does not cinch it up it remains annoyingly loose."
"I'd been looking for a quality floor jack for a wholile and was convinced I wanted all steel due to the lifting capacity. It has an aluminum frame that is light weight, and make use of several cross bolts for strength while having a strong steel lifting arm."
"This is really nice very heavy duty -- it can lift my truck and that's all that matters - been using it a lot - came just in time - breaks / water pump ..."
"I went to use it to change my oil this time and it started getting very difficult to jack my car(3,400 lbs) up any higher to get it on the stands. I quickly, but thankfully safely lowered my car and realized that one of the bolts just snapped right in half."
"Broke within 1st use."
