You might also find heavy duty four post lifts rated at 20, lb. The Atlas MC and Atlas MC have ratings of 7, and 9, per column, respectively — for total capacities with 4 columns of 28, and 36, lbs.

One MC column has a rating of 7, lb. You might have a 28,lbs vehicle to lift, but the load could be 16,lbs on the rear and only 12,lbs on the front.

An Atlas mobile column lift is portable. Enough said. For example, a 35, lb. Almost all above ground lifts sold in the USA come from Asia. Lift manufacturing is not a "high tech" industry, and there are many small manufacturing plants in China that are scrambling to produce lifts to satisfy the huge demand throughout the world. Let the professionals at Greg Smith Equipment explain; Lifts should be built to certain Industry standards that set the benchmark for the minimum safety requirements of above ground lifts.

These standards require a lift to perform perfectly, even when subjected to lifting conditions that are slightly above the rated capacity of that lift. Lifting a car or truck is serious business. Make sure you ask your lift supplier about their warranties and manufacturing standards. Many suppliers make either false or ambiguous claims as to the rated weight capacity of their lifts. Certain competitors claim their lifts are built to Industry standards that over twenty five years old and obsolete.

Many of Greg Smith Equipment's competitors simply drop ship "your lift" from a large Import Warehouse. These competitors do not stock the lifts nor the parts or accessories. At Greg Smith Equipment, we design and engineer our lifts to perform flawlessly for years of service. The 10, LB. Certain competitors exaggerate the lifting capacity of their lifts. They either augment the lifting capacity of these lifts by increasing the hydraulic pressure valve on the power unit a very unsafe practice or they just hope that you never put the lift to the test of lifting its advertised rated capacity.

Certain competitors are selling a four 4 metric ton lift as advertised by an original manufacturer in Korea or China as a 10, LB. Four metric tons is 8, LB. These same distributors would have you believe that the lifts made by the Koreans or the Chinese that are sold in the USA, are built of heavier steel than the same model of lift that is sold throughout the rest of the world.

The Chinese lift factory buys one grade of steel to manufacture lifts going to many different parts of the world. Only a very few Chinese factories buy the highest quality steel for their lifts so that there lifts will be built good enough to be sold in the USA. At Greg Smith Equipment, we have had our off shore factory purchase certain competitors' lifts made in our certain competitor's China and Korean off shore factories.

We have sent these lifts to the USA and compared these off-shore lifts to the lifts sold by certain competitors. The off shore manufacturer does not improve the quality nor increase the thickness of the steel for lifts that are exported to the USA.

Certain competitors are not telling the truth! This particular Chinese lift has a manufacturer's seal affixed to the lift that rates the lift at 3. That is equivalent to 8, LB. Most of our customers at Greg Smith Equipment will buy only one lift in their lifetime. When they see several ads that show a variety of lifts, they assume that the best deal would be to buy the lift with the most amount of advertised lift capacity for the lowest price.

At Greg Smith Equipment, we cannot prevent our competitors from exaggerating the lifting weight capacities of their lifts. We can, however, make you aware of the test results from exact side by side comparisons of our competitors' lifts to our lifts.

At Greg Smith Equipment, we encourage you to ask our competitors why they claim that their lift with the same; or less physical dimensions should be rated higher than the lifts at Greg Smith Equipment. If the competitors claim that their lifts are truly manufactured to Industry standards, then we would question the validity of their weight capacity claims.

The design of our lifts has been copied by several of the smaller factories, but the quality has never been copied. Our involvement with these factories over the past few years has been mutually beneficial. Most garages have at least 4 inches.
