HW-10KOH-A 10000LB Two Post Overhead Car Lift 3 Year Warranty | 3 Year Parts Replacement (A $499 Value) Rigid Double S Columns. Carriage Stronger Commercial-grade Steel. Clear Floor Design.

I did a cross country move and in the process sold a lot of equipment before I left, so I vowed the first new tool would be a two post lift. I looked around and thought about a 7000 lb lift would be fine since they can be had so cheap, but I decided to spend a few extra hundred to get this instead. I'm glad I did because the first project was my crew cab super duty with a camper shell on the back so it weighs in at right at about 7k lbs or maybe a little more. I had to rebuild the rear end. The lift picks it up without issue, but being a 4x4 I had to use wooden blocks in addition to the truck adapters to avoid damage to the side steps. No mind, it didn't move around on the blocks at all. Buying lifts in this prosumer category is often a sketchy proposition, like the scissor lifts you get from HF and others with questionable but usually adequate build quality. Not so with this. All of the welds look like they're wire feed gas welds done by a machine. If not, they're done by very good welders who know their stuff, so check that box. Another indication of build quality is that when I set the posts up and dialed in the exact same number of turns to the cable adjusters on either side, the two sides were so perfectly aligned that I couldn't tell the difference between the clicks on both columns. They were clicking at exactly the same times, meaning that both columns, both cables and all of the pulleys were built to the exact same spec on either side. Otherwise my method of adjustment would have been merely a close place to start with before fine tuning. I didn't have to make any. Once they were tensioned, that's where they stayed. I find this to be an attention to detail that while maybe not necessary, it shows pride in workmanship that gives me confidence that I'll be safe working underneath. A final word about quality is the fact that they require a 30 amp circuit and 6" minimum concrete thickness. The power unit draws only 15 amps, so the 30 amp circuit is way overkill. Same with the concrete. While others of the same capacity call for 4.5" thickness, they build in a greater safety factor with this lift by calling for 6". While this is on the installer to do it this way, it again gives me confidence that I'm not going to end up a pancake underneath this thing. With all that said, when I had the truck up on the lift and started grabbing things at the rear, it seemed to move around quite a bit. Apparently this is normal for a long pickup and it can be remedied by putting safety stands front and rear. I couldn't bring myself to get under it until I bought the safety stands to stabilize it. All in all the truck was up in the air for two weeks and there was never any indication of strain. When it came time to let it down, no issue there either. It picked it up if the safety catches no problem and down it came after I released them. As others have noted, the instructions aren't great. The limit switch and bar was a mystery that took a little while to figure out. There was no diagram or instruction on how to do it. Also, I don't think I would feel confident putting a full 10k lbs on it. That's not to say it won't lift it safely, but even given the safety factors they build into the capacities on these things, I always like to have more than I need to have when I have to climb under something that weighs several tons. With the way the safety arms were flexing with 7k+ on it, that's about all I'm comfortable with personally. It's fine considering that my pickup is the heaviest thing I'll ever put on it, but if you're looking to put a full 10k on a lift, you might want to get something that's the next class up. The 11k and up lifts are a much heavier duty design than this style and will give you the wiggle room needed in case your weights aren't exactly where you thought they were. Overall, I consider this to be a bargain for the price. It's a very well made piece of equipment and costs thousands less than the name brand lifts. I've seen the other 10k lifts and they aren't any heavier than this in design. The instructions aren't the best, but given the price, I feel like that's the least of my concerns. I was still able to make do, so it wouldn't be worth paying extra to have the install manual flow a little better. In the end it works beautifully and I couldn't be happier.

I've had this lift for about a year so this is a real world review. I just work on my own equipment so I'm not a mechanic shop. This lift has surpassed my expectations. It easily lifts my 2005 Ram 4 door 2500 with a Cummins. I haven't tried anything bigger, but it doesn't strain under the Cummins. I really have zero complaints about the lift I've had vehicles sitting on this lift for months at a time as I work on them when I can. No issues. My biggest complaint is it's hard for me to get in and out of a truck between the lift posts, but the width seems to be pretty standard across brands in this price range so I can't deduct a star for me being chunky. Quality wise the lift seems to be very well built. I believe the minimum required concrete thickness is 4" but with safety in mind, I cut 3 ft x 3 ft pads and poured 8" with rebar. I also used grade 8 all-thread and epoxy instead of the included anchor bolts. Ease of installation was straight forward and the instructions were spot on. My son and I installed it ourselves and he's 13 so, not complicated at all. All in all, for a sub $2500 lift, it's a great buy and value for the money. I don't need a $15k lift and I'm not sure what it would do that this one won't except for maybe 15k lift capacity. I am not endorsed or sponsored by anyone. If it works, I'll use it. If it doesn't, I won't. Just an honest review.

This is a great lift. The over all quality is pretty good. The hydraulics and hoses are a much better quality than most I looked at. A plus did a good job communicating with me via text prior to shipping out. You will need access to a fork lift or tractor for sure. While the assembly instructions were mostly understandable, one issue I ran into is there are a few steps that are fuzzy on how to complete. For example wiring the safety bar isn’t very clear. Also instructions didn’t show me where to install the racks/toe guards and the tool trays that go with them. I have included some pictures of how these should go. This should help anyone else that has issues ( I hope). Make sure to read completely through the instructions before you begin assembling. This will save you a ton of time and aggravation. This lift picks up my Chevy 3500 crew cab with no problem. Note that I have 5-1/2” reinforced concrete slab under it though. Over all I’m very happy with the lift. Aplus as a company has a good product for the price here. I would recommend this lift to any hobbiest and maybe even for a professional shop based on its use.

I love this lift. Works great and lift my diesel F350 no problem. It’s pretty straightforward for assembly as well, although the included instructions leave a little to be desired. I found similar lift videos on YouTube for installation that were helpful, but this was a little stressful trying to understand how to install it correctly. You also have to balance the cables correctly, which takes a little bit of finesse, but it’s not impossible. The only negative feedback I have is the shipping, they bolt all of the arms together, but basically everything else is just placed inside of the cradle, and the monkeys that delivered mine threw it around quite a bit so things were banged up a little.

Wish it came with other spacers then just 6 in the shipping company scared it up but the lift is great. No complaints so far. I’ve had a 2016 f350 on it as the heaviest so far and it did perfectly fine. Instructions were not bad I’m very pleased. Not so sure I would go all the way up to 10k though the arms were a little bouncy and it comes down fast! I’m just use to you push the lever and it’s a slower low down. Not that you can’t just slowly push the lever in to adjust speed. I’m happy with it and I’ve used it almost everyday for the past couple weeks.

I am impressed with every single aspect of this lift I don’t even know where to begin: I’ll admit, I was extremely skeptical about buying a “no name” lift as I have worked in a shop for a few years and been using lifts professionally for over 6 years. As much as I wanted a rotary, challenger, bendpak etc…, I couldn’t justify the cost for my weekend warrior projects/storage for the Midwest winters. After reading lots of mixed reviews, the consensus still leaned more positive vs negative and I said screw it and pulled the trigger. Let me tell you- I have no regrets about this lift. The only thing that appears to have been sacrificed from a higher priced lift is the single point unlocking system, maybe slightly higher quality powder coat and that’s really about it….. I knew that this lift wasn’t equipped with the single point unlock but that was something I could get over given the price. That being said, the build quality far exceeds my expectations. The steel is solid, the holes are drilled in the right places, the hardware doesn’t feel cheap, the pump doesn’t make weird noises and the INSTRUCTIONS were clear. Some other reviewers stated that the instructions were vague or not clear enough but I have never installed a lift before and my father and I got it completely set up, wired, and functional in less than a day. When we finished the install the last step was to mount and wire the safety bar. This is the ONLY issue we ran into with the whole process. The instructions stated that there is a special bracket to mount the safety bar on and my kit seemed to be missing that bracket. We installed the lift on a Saturday, I messaged the support team on Sunday afternoon regarding the missing bracket and by Tuesday I had a response and the customer support staff listened to my problem, replied with a simple question and after showing them the hardware that was included in my kit, they sent me detailed pictures of the updated design (the instructions reflected the older design) and exactly how to install the safety bar with the hardware that was included in the kit. The support staff was extremely helpful and attentive to my problem and after looking at their photos I got the safety bar installed and operational in about 30 minutes. From top to bottom the whole buying, delivering, installing and operating process was/is streamlined and EASY. You cannot beat the price, the build quality is solid, the instructions were good, the support was quick and helpful and I did I mention that I had the lift in my garage ready to install within 5 days of ordering it? Seriously, if you’re on the fence about a lift, it’s one of the best investments you can make as a DIY’er and I foresee no problems in the future with this unit. Just make sure your concrete can handle it and that you have enough ceiling clearance. Now stop reading my review and just buy it before the price goes up!

Easy set up and adjustment. All parts in the box and everything fit. I have not maxed out the capacity but held an expedition with no issues. The only complaint is the process of swapping between the truck risers and the car risers because of the snap rings but that feature also makes it safer.

I have been using this for months now without a single complaint! I build a lot of classic hot rids at home and this thing handles the job day in and day out.

I wasn’t too sure at first because of the low price. Received it in about a week. Strongly built. Looks great and definitely doesn’t look or feel cheap. Lifted my car and SUV seamlessly. Doesn’t even feel like there is a car on it. Had one bolt missing and one small part broken. Liaised with Apluslift and got a response within hours. They sent replacement parts the next day. The only negative is what many mentioned, the instructions for assembly. I was able to figure it out and assembled it myself but many would probably be clueless on how to do it and what bolts and nuts to use just based on instructions provided. Tip: Look at the page on parts to figure what bolt goes where based on number. This being said, buy with peace in mind because it is a great lift for most needs!

I have had this lift for several months now. I have no complaints. It lifts with ease. I wish I had bought it years ago. There was minor shipping damage but that is on the shipping company, not the seller.

Strong hoist has 2 hydraulic posts which is great and a excellent price.i am very satisfied with this hoist full size trucks lifts for fun
