Looking for installer of 4 post lift in nj

[luzl78]

Can anyone recommend a company who specializes in 4 post lifts sales and installs in nj. I’m in central New Jersey. Thanks. Jeff

Jeff, they are not difficult to install if you are handy. Two people and the right tools is best as some of the parts are heavy.

Agree, they are fairly straight forward to put together with common hand tools. I've done several by myself, but components are heavy and the last one I did, I just paid someone to install it and save my back.

You might want to call the place where you purchased the lift and ask if they have any installers in your area. I bought a lift from Greg Smith Supply and they recommended an installer who picked up the lift at their warehouse, brought it to my location and installed it expertly in a couple of hours.

Thanks guys!

Sherri and I installed two in one afternoon. I had never done one before.

[Crush]

Did you guys bolt them to the floor?

[Lynn]

I did not. Floor was level enough it wasn't required.

I bolted mine down due to my garage floor slope

[KevinW]

Two or 3 guys with a front end loader works well. :) I bolted mine down as well even though slope was minimal.

About six years ago our Saturday group ordered three and we set them up at three different houses in one day. By the time we got the to the last one it only took two hours. We built mine in my driveway and rolled it into the garage.

Thx! I have a similar tractor and figured it would help. Any preferences on brand?

There is a place in Delaware i think its Greg Smith they have all kinds of lifts and people who will install them

[Stefano]

Have done quite a few installs over the years with homes and shops. Pallet Jacks, floor jacks, and/or engine hoist and some hand tools. Never had the need to bolt one to the floor and kept all mine mobile.

What brand do you like?

Same here. Never bolted them down and I'm able to move them around easily with the supplied dollies.

I like the Atlas Garage Pro 8000 EXT sold by Greg Smith that are extra tall and I use mine mostly for parking / storage. Hard to beat the price and they seem to be well made and I have not experienced any issues with 3 that I have bought. You used to be able to get them on sale for around $2500 including drip pans, ramps, and dollies. Greg Smith was bought out and I think they are now about $3,500. The real key is having a reasonably level floor and ensuring the cables are adjust properly during assembly so that the car is lifted and stored level.

There are certainly more expensive commercial type lifts available versus hobbyist type that are beefier if you're concerned.

I like my 2 Atlas Lifts that I got from Greg Smith.

I did the XH-PRO8000EXT Atlas Garage Pro 8,000lbs capacity extended height lift.
It was $2800 shipped to my garage in Sept 2019. I have 2 of these. Put them together myself. I use them for parking under also.

I guess Greg Smith got bought out by Tooltopia?

Looks like most of their lifts are out of stock right now :dunno:

Jeff, good friends and local NCRS guys own a company called AutoQuip Sales. Ask for Lou. See if they’ll make the trip from Long Island? Feel free to name drop

Reviving the thread. Since I finally retired a year ago and I'm getting tired of crawling under my cars to do the oil changes and benchpressing rear differentials into place (today's project on the Viper), I want to finally get a four post lift...maybe dropping hints for Father's Day.

Who do you recommend as a lift supplier (and probably installer needed as well)?

[luzl78]

Steve, I bought a high lift bendpak 9,000 lb. I paid $5,500. I talked to Arnold Nunez. He was very helpful. Mention Jeff luzzi from colts neck. He recommended Jessie’s equipment service in waretown,nj. His number is (609)276-1214. He was excellent. He charged me $850 to put it together with his young son. Also, mention my name. Arnold’s email is [email protected]

6 years ago I bought a Dannmar 7000 series and installed it myself easily in two evenings with my cherry picker as my helper.

[x77-69z28]

I used Advantage lifts and got the Backyard Buddy 4 post. Couldn’t be happier! Got the dolly set up to be able to move it around. I’m 6’3”, so I got the extra tall. Made in the USA.

I really like the advantage lifts. They are good quality. I was JUST getting ready to buy one when my friend had another for sale. So I bought that one and now have two 4 post lifts. I have one together and waiting to finish my shop and set them both up. I put one together in my garage with a friend. No jack, forklift, Picker, Loader etc. just him and I. Lay two posts down and slide the cross piece in until it's 2.5 feet or so off the ground. Then one guy on each side stands it up. Repeat on the other end. As far as the rails, we each took an end. The one without the hydraulic ram is not bad at all. The one with the ram was a little heavy. My helper was over 20 years younger, but somehow, I got the heavy end in my 60's. I have to take one apart, then assembly the 2. I might try to rent something if not too expensive. But not going to spend 3 or $400 for a few minutes use. Neighbor has a small tractor... who knows, we'll see. But it can be done with no equipment. If you are concerned, maybe put 2 guys on each end of the rails. Good Luck! D

We have two Rotary 4 post lifts and I assembled both with a helper and no need for anything other than some hand tools. Like Danny wrote, it's pretty basic and easy and they have instructions. Neither are bolted to floor and one I move in fall for winter storage of cars and back to position in spring. Easy and can do it myself.

Really nice Jeff,

I just bought a 9K XL Series lift from KMS Tools and had it shipped to one of their stores near me. I picked it up Wednesday and my son and I set most of it up in my garage with a picker and some tire dollies. I plan to finish it tomorrow and should be able to park a truck on this one (XL width is 112" between the posts). Yours looks great in your garage.

I borrowed my neighbors Bobcat to unload our lift when it arrived and my son and I put it together with a 2 1/2 ton hydraulic jack and hand tools. The generic instructions they sent with it were terrible but I found a model specific set online that made it much easier to assemble. Now that I have one I don't know how I live without one. Now I just need another one, or two..lol..
