Advantage lifts are the best! Most the bells and whistles are included that others add to their price. Love mine and Tony has been great to work with. A little bonus was that the colors went perfectly with my garage and existing Amazing Garage Floor!!!

I assembled the lift by myself with a engine lift and a little help from a jib crane I have in my barn. Any issues that I had where dealt with fast with No hassle ! I have used it many times and just LOVE IT. I feel the quality of the lift is much better then others Ive seen. Thats why I purchased this one.

I purchased an Advantage lift from them at the Hershey Show in the fall of 2015. I love my lift, very strong and sturdy. I like the fact I dont need a compressor to unlock the safety. I love the rolling jack that I use to elevate wheels for a brake job. The guys did a great job in setting it up and I have had zero issues over the years. I slide around under the cars with a rolling seat, I wish my garage ceilings were higher then 10.

1st Ill say It took me 8 months of visiting showrooms etc.to decide the best lift for me.. My Advantage rep (Tony) turned me on to a nearby customer who has one. Once I saw his, I was sold. I bought the Advantage 4 post SS9000XLT-->> Tony Webers installation videos are the best on the net, this allowed me (an old man) to assemble and put the lift in service in 2 days-->> I picked mine up in PA, at USA lifts.. great facility, great folks, great service.I am very impressed with how well packed this baby was. Plywood between the big pieces, bubble wrap around everything. When I got it all unpacked it shows how well protected everything is., not a blemish or scratch on anything.Compared to others I looked @ I am impressed with the outside slider design, and how robust the parts that matter are and of course the additional safety features (cable keepers, secondary slack cable lock etc.)

I purchased this lift about 3 years ago after a Lot of research. I was impressed with stability provided by the solid posts and the ability to move it around. It has worked flawlessly and I ma very happy I purchased it. As for the purchase experience, I couldnt have been happier. Most of the other lift vendors promote free shipping, however Advantage did not. I called them to see how much it was and he discounted the price to cover the majority of the shipping. Ordered it on a Monday afternoon and the trucking company called me on Wednesday morning to let me know that the lift was ready to pick up at the terminal. Great purchase and One I highly recommend!

I bought at my 4 post lift at Barret Jackson in AZ. Of all the things I bought in my life this is #1 best value. Better than any lift that I have seen. Strong and High Quality. I am proud of my lift and my garage.

Extremely well build lift supported by exceptional customer service. Tony was great to work with. I spent considerable time researching and comparing numerous lifts before purchasing an Advantage.

For a time I worked as a design engineer for the material handling equipment used in the assembly of the B1B Bomber. I chose the Advantage Lift because of the integrity of the design. There are too many lift accidents out there when a little carelessness is mixed with a poor design--the Advantage Lift, because of its design, is very forgiving. Safety, design, ease of assembly, great customer service--all reasons to purchase this lift over others.

Advantage lifts are the best lift for the money, I looked at numerous lifts before I bought mine. My advantage lift has already paid for it self twice now with all the repairs I have been able to do on the lift on my trucks and my family and friends vehicles. Wish I would have gotten it sooner. I have had no issues with it, works perfectly year round. Very strong and safe!Excellent lift! Thanks again! Nick Novak, Minnesota

Tony at Advantage Lifts is great to work with. Their prices are reasonable and have taken great care of me. I had a leak on my cylinder and they got it replaced at no charge. I love the lift and the experience with them has been fantastic.

I would buy an Advantage lift again. I recommend Advantage to a good friend. He bought one and we set it up. He is very satisfied with it. His lift arrived with no problems. My experience was not as good. One of the end cross members had been miss manufactured so the safety locking pall would not retract fully. I couldn’t slide the nylon slider past the resulting obstruction. Also the pipe threads in the lifting cylinder are very rough and can not be sealed. I’ve tried Teflon tape and an anaerobic lock tight with no success. It weeps and drips. I devised a beer can fix for this problem.To be fair with the Advantage company I have to add they will totally back there products. The problem is they generally want to send totally new unit. Think of that hassle. It weighs 2000+ pounds.So in closing........ I disassembled the cross member ground off the pall to make clearance for the nylon slider. This was minimal and on the back side and did not effect strength or safety. I would also say if your not handy with tools and don’t really have any experience handling and moving large very heavy (the ramps must weigh near 500 pounds) items have someone with that experience do it for you.

I have a small collection of cars and keep them in a hangar at the airport. I needed more space and had no more room. I originally purchased an Advantage Lift from Richard and now have three. I couldnt be happier with the build quality and the finish. I was able to assemble all three myself with the help of a couple friend and the use of a fork lift. They work smoothly and I have never had an issue with them in the four years I have owned them. I cant say enough about both the lifts and the company. They are a pleasure to work with.

Review №19

For years I have owned a 44 mid-rise lift, which was a game changer for myself and my boys.Now that I have built my retirement garage/shop, I decided it was time to make the move to a full rise lift.After months of agonizingly comparing all the 4 post lifts available on the market, it came down to two choices. The other lift was far more expensive and the delivery was out past 8 weeks.When I called Advantage Lifts, I was shocked to find it was in stock. I ordered the lift on a Wednesday and it was waiting at my local trucking terminal the following Tuesday.The installation was as easy as the video showed it to be and the quality of construction was as described. Excellent. The lift comes only one way... with all the goodies that are extra from the competing lift companies.I am very satisfied and will recommend this lift to anyone.I will most likely order the Advantage Lift 2 post this summer.

I shopped around quite a bit before I bought my lift. Advantage had the best value for me - a really nice, well built lift at an affordable price and great customer service too. I recommend them to anyone shopping for a lift.

Review №21

Outstanding lift for my use at home. Could not begin to work on the Corvette without it. Easy to assemble with help lifting the ramps in place. A very safe lift. If I wear this one out i will buy another just like the 9000 I have now.

Top quality product. Great design. Excellent value. This is my second lift from them, they were the first and only one I called. They are that good, punctual, and dependable. And so are their products.

I shopped around for a four post lift and decided on an Advantage Lift due to its construction. Its a well built, solid lift that should last for years! The customer service for the lift in the Wichita area is great too! I will recommend this lift to anyone. Several others have bought an Advantage lift after seeing mine!

Review №24

Tony was great to work with and the lift has been terrific. I dont get to use it as much as I would like to but it really frees up the floor as the garage doubles as a man cave. We often are sitting under the car on the lift watching TV and having beverages. The lock system is sturdy so concerns of hanging out underneath are put to rest. Keep up the good work Advantage Lifts.

Review №25

Assembly is straight forward and instructions were clear. Works are advertised. I recently used it when replacing a camshaft on my 2011 Ram. It made life real easy getting at the exhaust and oil pan without ramps or crawling underneath. I’ve used it for a year now with only one issue with the motor, and they replaced the entire pump assembly with no issues. This is an outstanding product IMHO. I wish I would have bought one years ago.

Review №26

This is John writing for Jill and myself. We studied a lot of lifts before deciding on an Advantage lift. We got the SS 9000 XLT. We paid for Louis to set it up. He was excellent and professional. We have used the lift virtually everyday on our cars, trucks, other peoples cars and trucks to help them out. The lift has worked flawlessly under heavy use. It is well built and solid. We will be adding more lifts and will definitely buy Advantage. Tony and Louis were great.

I got the four post mobile lift, let me tell you its the heaviest made lift I ever seen. It is very easy to put the wheels on it and roll around my shop to work or clean the cars. I would recommend this lift to everyone very very nice lift. They also came to my house and set up. Quality and customer service is to notch none better. Yes I will buy another one soon.

Review №28

The quality of the lift is excellent. When it is lifting and I stand under my vehicle, its construction is obviously strong and gives me the confidence that Im safe. Ive had some questions about my lift during/after installation and their customer service is great. Im just a hobbyist so Im not an expert and needed that extra help. They are not just selling you a lift, but they help you though any issues you might have.

Great well built, heavy duty solid construction lift with great features. After much research this had all the safety features by design, and flexibility of moving around the lift I needed and was after. Excellent service and personalfollow up to ensure my unit was adjusted correctly. Two years of use and no doubt I would by another if I buy another car.

I shopped lifts for a couple of years. At Crusing the Coast I was able to watch several lift work. Advantage lift a very superior product. Great value for the money you spend. They are not the cheapest how ever that is not so important when I am under my classic car. I have enjoyed my lift with no problems what so ever.Thanks for all of your efforts.

Review №33

After researching other options, I chose to purchase an Advantage lift about 4 years ago. I think their square post design is superior to the channel post design of some of their competitors. So far, the only issue Ive experienced was a leaking cylinder. They shipped a replacement at no cost (even though the unit was about 3 years old at the time) and paid for someone to install it. According to him, a cylinder leak is very rare. Tony and his staff are great to work with and I highly recommend their product.

I purchased a model 9000 XLT at the Back to the 50s show in 2016 for my home shop. I really like the features on the Advantage lifts and the fact they come as a package. I did add the LED lights, which I really like, and the rolling hydraulic jack. Most of my work is on my own cars, I only wish I had bought one years ago, makes working on them easy.I picked up my hoist at their warehouse and did the installation. Instructions were straight forward and easy to follow. I was done in a few hours.I did have the metal brackets for the casters bend while moving the hoist over to the side of the shop with my 63 Ford Galaxie on it which I park on the hoist over the winter months. I was under the impression they were rated to handle the weight of a car which they are obviously not up to the task, at least with my car. Gordie provided me with all new brackets at no charge to me which I have since reinforced so I can move the hoist with the car on it. Also had the power supply fail on the LED lights just recently. Gordie had a new one in the mail the next day at no charge so the customer service at Advantage is way above most companys.This is truly a quality product at a reasonable price plus the bonus of excellent customer service which is kind of hard to find these days,.

Hard to say enough good about the lift and the company Advantage Lift ! The lift went together smoothly, works and looks great!. The freight carrier damaged the initial shipment and Advantage immediately shipped a new lift and handled all the issues with the freight lines. Couldnt ask for better response and service! I have referred them to others and will continue to do so!Rick

I have had my 11,000 lbs Advantage lift for a couple of years now. I had an issue with the switch, contacted them about it and they overnighted a new one to me. Great product and people to deal with. When Im ready I will be buying another one from them. I highly recommend Advantage Lifts.

This is the best 4-post lift for the money in the market. The construction quality and the strength is far superior than the competition. I especially like the boxed post-construction, the base plates, the reinforcement under the ramps the safety catches and aluminum ramps.

Hey Tony, Dave Geiger here.We use the Advantage Lift several times each week at our classic car dealership. It works great and it ends up being involved in conversations with customers often. I have given out about a dozen of your brochures now.

Review №45

Everything ended up working out great but I did have some minor issues. I installed my lift almost entirely from the instruction manual...bad idea. The manual references all dimensions in metric units. The written instructions seem like they were originally in another language and then and them translated into its English form. There was no direction on the high level cutoff switch but that was handled quickly with a phone call to the guys at the sales office. The voltages and amp loads listed in the manual were for 360 3PH power and not 220 single phase so I had to verify the motor specs from the name plate when I unboxed the motor and hydraulic pump. After I had laid out the lift and engineered the concrete footings, I found out there was a website step by step instruction video for my lift. I was able to consult that video as I finished the installation. I think the only thing that could be done to make the whole thing easier is to update the instruction manual to a real current English format and also reference the instruction video on the web. Other than that... I still give these guys 5 stars.

As someone who does a lot of research and puts a lot of thought in to a purchase, it now seems inevitable that I would end up purchasing an Advantage lift. While most lift buyers are happy with their purchase, (because ANY lift is better than NO lift) there are *ahem* many advantages to purchasing this brand. Excellent engineering resulting in obvious stability, outstanding safety features, amazing customer service and even though not the cheapest lift, terrific value. The hardest part was deciding whether to go with a 2 or 4 post and the answer to that was made easy when Tony asked me a few simple questions which provided me with suddenly perfect clarity. I finally pulled the trigger and bought one for myself on my 60th birthday. Now Im left with the same regret as every new lift owner. Why the hell did it take me so long to buy one?
