Why are American Custom Lifts better than all other four post parking lifts?

Below are 10 true reasons why:

  1. Other lift companies use brass or plastic sheaves, which tend to wear out over time and are not designed for continuous cycles per day. Our 7K four post designs use a commercial grade bearing in pulleys that are designed for many cycles per day as used in heavy duty truck lifts.
  2. Our lifts use a 1.5" x 1.5" x 2 7/8" oil based urethane glide block. This provides a smooth up and down platform operation. Many of the other lifts require you to grease the inside or outside of the columns over a period of time. Other lifts platforms will tend to jump or skip as they're being raised or lowered. This is due to using inexpensive plastic glide blocks.
  3. Our lifts use an aircraft quality cable, four attached to each column, tested at 14,500 lbs each.
  4. Other lift companies base-plates are only 3/8" gauge steel maximum which sometimes warp when being welded to the columns, thus causing the lift to sway when free standing. Our four post design base-plates are made with 1/2" gauge American steel. Our lift will rest flush on the foundation and will not require anchoring.
  5. Other lift companies tracks (runways) have square cut edges which can be dangerous if brushed against. American Custom Lift tracks (runways) are made with a non-sag diamond plate steel that have been rounded on the corners. It is also aesthetically more pleasing.
  6. Our lifts provide an extra safety measure that provides peace of mind. Most other lift companies offer no safety in the case of a glide block bolt coming loose. All of our 7K and 9K four post lift provide extra safety precautions by welding a safety dowel to the under carriage where the glide blocks are bolted at the end of each cross-rail. If a glide block bolt were to come loose, there would be no risk of the glide block slipping.
  7. Many of the four post parking lifts on the market today use a 3" diameter cylinder. When overworked, they will tend to leak. Our parking lift models us a 3 1/2" diameter cylinder.
  8. Warranty: 10 yrs. structure, 2 yrs. mechanical and 1 yr. parts & electrical. Ask the other lift companies what their warranty covers. You won't be impressed.
  9. Our lifts are all powder-coated. Available lift colors are black, blue and red. Custom colors are also available for an additional cost.
  10. Our lifts are AMERICAN MADE. 90% of the lift companies today are selling imported lifts from China, Korea and Turkey. These lifts look like toys when standing side by side to one of our heavy duty American made lifts. Surprisingly, many of the lift manufacturers are now importing their steel, cylinders and power units and then assembling the lifts at their facility and claiming "American made". Don't be fooled when they claim American made. We'll put it in writing!
