Default 4-Post Lift

From now until October 31st, X-Auto Products and Revolution Lift are teaming up to offer CF members an XLT model 4-Post Lift for $2995, plus Revolution will give you the Drip Pan Kit for FREE!!! The Revolution 4-Post Lift is made in the USA by Rotary Lifts. Rotary is the world leader in commercial & industrial automotive lifts. No one builds a stronger, safer and more durable lift for the automotive enthusiast.

NO OTHER LIFT MANUFACTURER builds as much quality into a lift. All Revolution Lifts are built to meet the requirements of the Automotive Lift Institute. Each design is tested by the ETL, an OSHA-designated nationally recognized testing laboratory, to ensure compliance with ANSI standards ALCTB-1998 and UL Standard 201. In fact, each lift comes with its own certification label to ensure you that your lift is up to the job. The 4-Post Lifts are rated for up to 7,000 pounds, have 110v or 220v motors, and come in a choice of four colors (red, blue, black or yellow). Plus, there is a great selection of options to choose from.

THINGS TO CONSIDER
Ceiling Height -
In order to ensure that you have adequate room for a 4-Post lift, you need to consider the following parameters:
A - the height of the car you will store on top of the lift (consider using the tallest car you have just in case),
B - the height of the car you will store on the bottom (consider using the second tallest car you have just in case),
C - the height of the lift runways the upper car will rest on - use 5 inches,
D - the MINIMUM distance between the garage floor and the LOWEST obstruction that the upper car may interfere with (such as garage door tracks, a garage door opener, lighting, shelving, etc.).

When calculating your ceiling height, simply add A+B+C, then add another 6 inches to allow for the lift to be raised high enough so you can safely lower the lift back down to engage the locking mechanisms. If the total of A+B+C+ 6 inches is less than D, then you have enough ceiling height to accommodate a 4-Post lift with the vehicles you've used for establishing the above parameters.

Delivery -
Although the shipping charges will get the lift delivered to your house if you like, you will likely be far better off to have it delivered to an interim receiving facility with the appropriate loading docks and equipment. This is due to the fact that the shipping weight of a 4-Post lift is about 2100 pounds, and it will arrive at your house awaiting a forklift to get it off the truck. The solution is for you to use a trailer to pick up your lift at the receiving facility where their forklift can properly load the container onto your trailer. Then, it is a fairly easy task to unpack the lift components and move them into your garage for assembly after you arrive home.

Shipping charges are 6% of the complete order to any address in the continental United States. Certain states charge a sales & use tax of 6% (applies to deliveries in CA, CO, FL, IN, KS, MI, MO, OH, PA, TN, TX, NY only). More information about the designs, specifications and other details of these Revolution Lifts can be found at:

Or, as always, please feel free to call us 800-559-1192 to discuss things in detail. Thank you very much.

Very Best Regards,

Barry

Do the bottlejacks have clearance for lowered C5's? Can you buy the bottlejacks with the lift?
