4 Post Lift Install Part 1 Assembly and Troubleshooting

Hey Guys and welcome back to the Garage. I'm really excited about this one. I know I've not posted for a while but I've been busy planning the upcoming build. The latest step for the build was to get this AMGO 407-P car lift installed in the garage. It was fairly straightforward to put together but took a bit of time since it was so massive and I was working with a team of me, myself, and I! Hope you enjoy this one and as always feel free to post comments or questions below.

Is the wobble any better (without bolting) when there is a car/weight ontop? Heard the wobble is noticable w/o a car, but with weight on it its fine? Possibly can include the before and after wobble (with and without bolting) when there is a load on the lift
Nice video thought :)

That would be a good video idea but I didn’t want to find out if it got better or catastrophically failed with my or my friends cars. I suspect it would have improved slightly at lower heights but would have been a humpyy dumpy scenario up higher. I’ve actually just finished bolting it and am working on part 2 now. I can say I’m really glad I decided to bolt it. It’s solid as a rock now and much more confidence inspiring.

How did you run the cables out. I started routing the first cable (as numbered) into column A, but it is too short to reach the column top due to piston position.

[@HarrisonsGarage]

I had a similar issue since when you first hang the platform on the columns it will likely not be in the same position as the hydraulic cylinder wants the platform to be. I remedied this by getting under the platform and leg pressing the plate attached to the piston and moving it manually to sufficiently extend the cables.
