Didnt he say he was setting up the release mechanism so you pull the handle away from the car, as not to catchl it. Then he fitted it pushing towards the car.
I just bought the 8K lb version, I live close enough to Greenwood,IN so went and picked it up there. It is a bit different than this one, an adjustable locking plate is installed in each upright column and the cables were preinstalled,just needed to be routed to their respective columns. I was able to put it together myself with the aid of a small tractor with a front end loader to and into the garage and an overhead 1000 lb electric hoist. It's very well built and designed for a hobbiest/home garage, At $2000. I wish I had it 20 years ago !
Great video I have another brand litt but looks to be 99% the same. This video helped a lot. My lift came with zero instructions but at least the cables where already hooked to the hydraulic cylinder all I had to do was run to the post
Excellent video. Your "Triumph 8k" lift looks just like the Atlas Garage Pro 8000 I bought from Greg Smith Equipment back in 2015, probably from the same china supplier. Mine has been serving me well.
I noticed at the end that your lock setup is opposite of the instruction video. You said to hookup the lever so it pulls away from the vehicle for release. Your finished setup operation is a push away lineage release.
Noticed at 16:38 it shows it pulling away from vehicle... But then at the end it does show it pushing toward. The way the long linkage rod was installed in the top of the T-handle at 16:38 is correct. At the end you can see it's installed in the bottom of the T-handle causing it to push inward. Magic of editing! ;-)
says in video: You want the handle to pull AWAY from the car to release the locks. End of video: Pushes handle TOWARDS the car to release the locks.. Contradict yourself much??
Do you wake up in the morning and decide, hmm, I think I'll be an ass today for no reason to complete strangers? We realized we made an error and went back and reshot the video so the handle would pull away. Look , if you're just going to be a keyboard tough guy, do everyone a favor and do it some where else Ed.
You need to read the manual of the four post you've selected. The size of the baseplate and capacity will change the concrete requirement, so this question honestly cannot be answered here. Thanks Peter.
it was a great video and i was wondering if it was worth installing myself and after watching your very well explained video i feel confident i could do it with help but why was the lock lever shown as pull at the first install and push at the end of the video? all hoist that i have seen have it pull towards the operator to lower. was there a reason for the change?
Mark, that's a valid question. Titan is working on some new lifts with the ALI cert. Titan has been around for about 10 years and manufactures offshore in hand picked factories that we visit on a regular basis. When starting out the aim was to produce quality product at a fair price targeting the hobbyist/enthusiast market. ALI does provide peace of mind from independent testing standpoint. It's just not something we did with the current model of products but it's in the process on some new models. With that said, we have affiliations with National Corvette Museum (7 of our lifts used in the Museum), MCACN (Official Lift) , Carlisle Events and more. CORSA Performance Exhaust, Cooks Headers, American Racing Headers all use our lifts at events for their installs. If you have any questions, feel free to contact us directly at contact@titan-lifts.com or give us a call at 888-908-4826. We'd be happy to answer any questions you have.
Good afternoon, hoping you can help me with two problems installing my life. First I have all 4 corners plumbed, the treads are level. When I go to lower the lift the entrance goes down like it should but the other end end hangs up and the cables go slack. Do you think its the lift cable not being adjusted correctly or is it something else? Thanks in Advance Dave
Because it's free advertising sir. People will see this video, click on the link, go to our site, and find the 7k's replacement, the 8k, and hopefully purchase that instead.
Hi I just buy a used lift and it come without pump... my question are on 120v how many amp this needed? Or on 240v... amp required ? Thank you great job !
A 20 amp breaker on a 110 power unit is fine. You'll need a 30 amp double pole breaker if you go with a 220 power unit. Bear in mind, I am not an electrician and you should have a licensed professional verify any opinion I give you.
I have two Model A's. I'm trying to make room in my Shop. My ceiling height is 10 feet. I got plenty of power. My shop is 30×40. Do you think this lift should work? Thanks
Hey Stephen, it should is the short answer. What you'll need to do is measure the height of both cars and add them together. Then add about 4" for the thickness of the runway and then also allow a couple of inches for lock maneuvering.
So, I noticed you didn't bolt the posts to the floor. Is this not needed? Also, are the rules for concrete thickness the same as for 2 post lifts? I've been told 6 inches concrete thickness.
Depends. You can get away with no bolting the posts to the concrete if you're lifting lite-weight vehicles. I personally wouldn't lift a vehicle over 4500 lbs without the towers being anchored. Are the concrete requirements the same? Not even. Four posts are "usually" going to require less concrete. My advice is to check the spec in the manual of the specific lift you're interested because it varies from lift to lift based on design.
Great video but you literally installed the safety release handle the opposite way you said too and put it the way you warned us not to. Sorry I loved the video not being a hater.
Hey Ricky, the 9K-XLT is 97" tall. I've put a link in the comment. Thanks. www.redlinestands.com/catalog/lifts-c-290/automotive-c-290_138/4-post-c-290_138_140/kernel-8k9k-lb-4-post-automotive-parking-lift-p-1109
See below sir. They start at about $3800 as of 11/2/22. www.redlinestands.com/catalog/lifts-c-290/automotive-lifts-c-290_138/4-post-car-truck-lifts-c-290_138_140/#4
Low quality lift that is made to raise up to full rise, set on locks and stay and is not intended for daily or even regular use. Purely a storage lift and the cheapest brand on the market that actually has a name. Titans are to lifts as Saturn's are to cars. Cheap shit that never should've made it to begin with...
Damn. Tell us how you really feel. It's funny, I'll grant you that Titan lifts are not on the same level of quality as the Challengers we carry, but the odd thing is, the Challengers never sell. Today, our cheapest Challenger is about $6300 and I don't think we've ever sold one. I'm not sure what else to offer you guys. I have expensive lifts that only the wealthy can afford, and affordable lifts that according to you, are shit. We've sold a bunch of these Titans and I very rarely have unhappy customers with them. I'm glad others see the value in the Titan, because I'm obviously not going to sell one to you sir. Have a nice day.
"not intended for daily or even regular use" .... is this your actual experience or just an opinion? Because for what it's worth, my personal experience contradicts your opinion. Having half a dozen show cars in my collection I use a similar lift on a regular basis, especially during summer months, primarily to inspect and clean the undersides of the cars before and after shows. Have had zero issues. I can easily afford a BendPak, but decided to try a similar lift to this at a low price point figuring I would just give it away if it didn't work out. Needless to say, I've yet to give owning this a second thought. If I was running a full blown shop, I'd certainly opt for a something like a BendPak - but these lifts (Titan and similar) are a great alternative for the hobbiest.
I bought a used lift that's being delivered today we have to re-set it up, this going to help me make sure we don't make any mistakes
Didnt he say he was setting up the release mechanism so you pull the handle away from the car, as not to catchl it. Then he fitted it pushing towards the car.
awesome video put it together in 4hrs by my self used a motor puller to put run ways in place
Cool, thanks!
Thank you for all the help. I have been struggling with the instructions as they are not very helpful!!
Wow, thank you for posting, you put a lot into making this video and still not too long. Great job!
Great video, very well explained with out wasting a bunch of time.

LOL. Sure wish you had bought it from us, but you can't win'm all. Enjoy the lift!
Would you be able to answer a question about that lift you got in greenwood? I'm right there
@@fadimcjordan6264 yes
Great video Justin thanks for the total how to and discussing issues on pulleys
Great video, makes it less daunting of a task to build
thanks for your video. that help me a lot to introduce our lifts to worldmarket.
You're very welcome. I'm glad to help.
Thank you for your very informative video!

Thank you for sharing this video. Very very helpful and made my project so much easier.
thanks for the video was helpful installing my lift.
Thank you for this video, everything is clear and easy
Great job guys this video helped me out allot
Thanks for posting
Great instructional video. Much appreciated!
Great video. Thanks for sharing. Nice V2 also.
Great video. It help me put my Lift together.
That was so helpful great video I learned a lot

Mike Tarak I was just about to point out that bone head move myself.
Yeah, that was my mistake. You want it to pull away from the car in case the vehile has ground effects or is just positioned awkwardly.
turbovette426 0
16:00 make the lever move away from the vehicle.
19:00 does the exact opposite.
Just being a CZcams Karen, good video.
LOL! I noticed that too. Great video though!
Thanks Ian for your help keep up the good work👍
I noticed that as well locks different at the end
Thanks the video help
You said to put the shorter rod on the bottom for the locking mechanism but at the end of your video it was on the top how come?
Im gonna buy one. its 2022
Please show how u move the posts.
Show everything n just the finished product.
You put the casters on and then allow the weight of the runways to push the casters down and lift the tower. It's super easy.
Thank you

How many inches thick is / should be the concrete floor?

I seem to recall we put it on backwards and had to fix it, but please bare in mind we're going on my memory from 5 years ago here....

You pushed the lock release towards the car after telling us why that’s not good.
At front of piston there’s another hole with thread are u supposed to cap that 1 ?
Nope. You don't need to do anything to the piston.
Where do the U-shaped washers go? Great video!
Just built mine this weekend and was very easy but I can’t figure out where they go either.
They're sims for leveling the post

Are all the lift manufacturers pretty good ? Ever heard of mondial?
No sir, never heard of that brand. Again, no sir, plenty of folks out there make garbage so buyer beware.
How much fluid
Buy 3 gallons and you'll likely have a little left over
Great video but you literally installed the safety release handle the opposite way you said too and put it the way you warned us not to. Sorry I loved the video not being a hater.
how tall is the longest four post lift thanks
Hey Ricky, the 9K-XLT is 97" tall. I've put a link in the comment. Thanks. www.redlinestands.com/catalog/lifts-c-290/automotive-c-290_138/4-post-c-290_138_140/kernel-8k9k-lb-4-post-automotive-parking-lift-p-1109
how tall does my garage ceiling need to be for each model?thanks
That really depends how tall your cars are.
Sorry for the late reply. It really depends on the height of the vehicles you're wanting to store.
Price?
See below sir. They start at about $3800 as of 11/2/22.

No ALI Certification? No ALI equals UNSAFE AT ANY HEIGHT.
