Installation Requirements

Before You Begin: Professional installation by a certified technician is strongly recommended for all automotive lifts. Improper installation can result in equipment failure, property damage, or serious injury.

Facility Requirements

• Ceiling Height: Minimum 11 feet from floor to lowest overhead obstruction
• Floor Thickness: Minimum 4 inches of reinforced concrete (5 inches recommended for heavy commercial use)
• Floor Condition: Level, crack-free, cured concrete at least 28 days old
• Operating Space: Clear area of at least 12 feet wide × 24 feet long

Installation Process Overview

Step 1 — Foundation Preparation: Mark anchor bolt locations using the provided template. Drill anchor holes to specified depth (typically 5 inches for wedge anchors). Clean holes thoroughly with compressed air.

Step 2 — Column Assembly: Assemble both columns according to the manual. Install cable routing system and safety locks. Do not fully tighten column bolts until lift is positioned.

Step 3 — Positioning & Anchoring: Position columns at correct width spacing (consult manual for your specific model). Level columns using shims if necessary. Install and torque anchor bolts to specification (typically 80-100 ft-lbs).

Step 4 — Arm Installation: Attach swing arms to columns. Install arm restraints and pad adapters. Verify full range of motion and proper clearances.

Step 5 — Hydraulic System: Connect hydraulic lines, power unit, and safety valve. Fill reservoir with ISO 32 hydraulic oil to specified level. Bleed air from system per manual instructions.

Step 6 — Electrical Connection: Run conduit from power source to lift motor. Connect motor leads per wiring diagram. Install control pendant and emergency stop button.

Step 7 — Testing & Calibration: Perform no-load cycle test (5 full up/down cycles). Test safety locks at multiple positions. Load test with known weight (typically 50% capacity). Verify even lifting and proper synchronization.

First Use Checklist

• Inspect all bolts and connections — re-torque if necessary
• Check hydraulic oil level (should be at upper mark when lift is fully lowered)
• Test all safety systems including locks and emergency stop
• Review operating manual safety procedures with all users
• Schedule 30-day post-installation inspection

Maintenance Schedule: Daily visual inspection, weekly safety lock test, monthly cable inspection, quarterly hydraulic fluid check, annual professional inspection recommended.

Freight Delivery Details

Due to the size and weight of automotive lifts, all shipments are sent via freight carrier (typically Old Dominion, XPO, or R+L Carriers). The carrier will contact you 24-48 hours before delivery to schedule an appointment.

Curbside vs. Liftgate Delivery: Standard freight delivery is curbside only — the driver will unload at the rear of the truck but cannot bring items inside your garage. If you need liftgate service (hydraulic platform to lower items to ground level), please contact us before ordering for a quote.

What to Expect on Delivery Day

• The carrier will call you to confirm delivery window (usually 2-4 hour window)
• Driver will need clear access to delivery area — ensure your driveway/street is accessible for a large truck
• Inspect all boxes before signing delivery receipt — note any visible damage
• You will need a forklift, pallet jack, or 2-3 people to move crates into your garage

Returns & Exchanges

The lift must be uninstalled, in original packaging, and in resalable condition. Return shipping costs are the buyer's responsibility unless the return is due to a defect or shipping error.

Damaged or Defective Items: If your lift arrives damaged or has manufacturing defects, contact us within 48 hours of delivery. We will arrange replacement parts or a full unit exchange at no cost to you. Take photos of any damage before installation.
