ive got a 4 poster as you know that i use for storage..older style 3 phase..hoist was free..delivery and installation plus 3 phase wire up which was already at fuse box..$900...
beware 4 posters coz panos wont fit under them.
i also have a chinese hoist i payed $1500 for it was a year old..4 tonne..i have replaced the hydraulic lines at a cost of $600..i aslo had the pressure relief valve go on it..was replaced but then it actuall spat out and the hoist lost all pressure at full hieght with a car on it..lucky the locks caught it..also lucky that the car was a wreck so i could forklift it off as i could not buy a small replacement part to fix it..they wanted me to buy the complete pump and tank assembly at a cost of $600..3 month wait...after sales aand service suck..only 1 person doing the parts for this particular hoist..will put the name up when im at work next..ended up finding a retired engineer that fixed the problem for $150...hoist works well for the money but the next one will be a molnar..
scotty..ring mick at automotive equipment services..he is the man for new or second hand hoists and installation..only at marmong point....pm me on fb and ill give you his mobile.
