Tested To USA Industry Standards:
Greg Smith Equipment is proud to announce the arrival of the new Direct Lift PP-8S (Standard) four post hobbyist lift. The new Direct Lift PP-8S now carries an Industry tested lifting capacity of 8,000 lbs. This new rating of 8,000 lbs. is a direct result of three months of extensive testing.

Most of our competitors do not TEST their lifts to USA Industry standards. Many of our competitors just publish what they believe is "an approximate weight lifting capacity" based upon what other lift distributors are advertising. Many times the Chinese manufacturers overrate their lifts to gain market share in other countries. The Chinese testing standards and the USA testing standards are NOT the same!

We still get a big chuckle when we see one of our competitors advertising a 10,000 lb. four post hobbyist lift for $1995; and it IS SMALLER than our 8,000 LB. PP-8 S (Standard). Lifting a car or truck is serious business. Call the Lift Professionals at Greg Smith Equipment.

All Atlas and Direct (black) portable four post lifts (8,000 lb. capacity) are designed and built for use by Mr. Homeowner or restoration shop. These lifts are not designed to work in commercial repair shops that raise and lower a lift several times per day. If you have questions about which lift will best suit your application, please ask your salesperson.

How Do I Get My Stuff Off The Truck?:
Many customers do not have access to loading docks and forklifts. We have assembled some photos of our products being unloaded with and without the aid of a forklift. Many of our freight carriers have power tailgates on their delivery trucks. There may be an extra charge for the power tailgate, depending on the carrier. The power tailgate is normally rated at 1000 LB. capacity. This is not enough capacity to unload most of our lifts. However, when used properly (and safely), the power tailgate (in conjunction with some common sense) allows the customer to off load many of our products without the use of a forklift.
Watch our video on how to use a power tailgate to help you unload your product from a truck.

Most truck shipments will be delivered by a commercial freight carrier operating a tractor/trailer rig. The semi trailer will be enclosed. Most commercial carriers have smaller straight trucks and some have small flatbed trucks, but the majority of freight companies will not use these smaller trucks for your delivery. Greg Smith Equipment cannot guarantee the type of truck that will be used for delivery. You should assume that your product will be delivered on a tractor/trailer rig that uses a 53 foot enclosed trailer. This is a VERY LONG rig. It is the truck driver's responsibility to make sure that your product is brought to the back of the delivery truck. It is the customer's responsibility to unload the product from the truck.
Watch our video on how to unload your two post or four post lift from a semi truck.

Lock Ladder Column Design:
The new Direct Lift Pro Park 8S has the same "lock ladder" column design system as the Pro Park 8 Plus, Pro Park 9 Plus, and Atlas 14K. We believe that the lock ladder system is the safest locking system for any four post lift. The lock ladder system also provides an infinite number of runway locking positions. The "old-style" welded locks could not be adjusted. The lock ladder is adjustable inside the column so that our customers can "micro-manage" the correct runway height to accommodate any vehicle. The "lock ladder" column system is the same column system found on professional grade lifts found in car dealerships and automotive service centers.

Double Lock Safety System:
This Pro Park 8S locking system offers a unique two position locking mechanism found only in commercial grade cable style four post lifts. The DOUBLE LOCK SAFETY SYSTEM is found exclusively on the Direct Lift Pro Park 8S, Direct Lift Pro Park 8 Plus, Direct Lift Pro Park 9 Plus, and the Atlas Pro 14K.

The Direct Lift Pro Park 8S incorporates the unique DOUBLE LOCK SAFETY SYSTEM into each of its four oversized columns. The DOUBLE LOCK SAFETY SYSTEM is designed to ensure that if a lifting cable becomes slack (for any reason), the secondary locking mechanism automatically engages. This DOUBLE LOCK SAFETY SYSTEM is found only on other four post above ground lifts costing hundreds of dollars more than the Direct Lift Pro Park 8S.

Flow Restrictor:
Greg Smith Equipment is proud to announce that many of our two post and four post lifts manufactured in our off shore factory (after 08-01-07) have flow restrictor valves installed in the hydraulic system. Some lifts do not require a flow restrictor.

Manual Single Point Release:
The Pro Park 8S has manual single point release that allows the operator to release all the safety locks at one time.

Does Not Need To Be Anchored To The Floor:
The Pro Park 8S DOES NOT need to be anchored to the floor. However, if you are using a four post above ground lift many times each day, the lift may "scoot" a little on a smooth concrete floor. All four post lifts (Including the Direct Lift four post lifts and all other competitor's four post lifts) will move slightly on a smooth concrete floor if there is a constant flow of vehicles on and off the lift. The stability and integrity of the lift will not be compromised by the slight "scooting" of the four post lift. To eliminate the possibility of any "scooting", we recommend you anchor (with just one anchor) two of the column bases to your concrete floor. This anchoring will prevent the lift from "scooting".

Safety Labels:
In a concerted effort to improve customer awareness as to the correct operation of our two post and four post above ground lifts, the factory is affixing the ANSI (ALI/101S) safety labels to our Atlas and Direct above ground vehicle lifts (after 08-01-07). These ANSI (ALI/101S) safety labels help to alert the operator as to certain potential dangers that may exist in the normal operation of the lift.

Installation:
Most of our above ground lift customers install their own car lifts. The average time to assemble the Direct Lift Pro Park 8S car lift is four hours.

We provide detailed installation instructions with all our two post above ground lifts and our four post above ground lifts.

Parts:
Greg Smith Equipment stocks a complete inventory of lift parts for all the lifts we sell. Lift parts and technical support personnel are available.

Certain competitors do not stock the lifts they advertise and do not stock any of the lift parts or accessories. Lifting a car is serious business.
