Albott Portable Car Lift, Capable of Lifting 5000 LBS Quick Jack with a Maximum Height of 26", Car Lifts for Home Garage and Shop, Black

The media could not be loaded. I was hesitant to buy this lift because there were no reviews. I've see the other lifts on Amazon but didn't want to spend what those are priced at. My gamble paid off. This is a very nice lift. It arrived in three packages over two days. Two for the lifts and one with the pump, hoses and accessories. All boxes are very heavy and the cardboard took a beating from shipping. But it is packed fairly well. One lift had some scratches and I just touched it up with black spray paint. The owners manual comes in a heavy zip lock bag. Nice touch. Everything in the pump box was bubble wrapped very well. The pump, even though it was drained of hydraulic oil, was covered in oil. A couple of paper towels took care of that. The owners manual leaves a bit to be desired in translation from Chinese to English, but as long as you have mechanical experience and common sense you'll figure it out. It's not bad, things just could be explained better. Once everything is laid out you thread the hose couplers to each lift, install the wheels and handles, fill the unit with hydraulic oil and it's ready to go. The hose couplers are really nice, easy to hook and unhook with no leaks of oil. It's possible to install the wheels upside down. If that happens the weight would be on the cheap plastic wheels and they would crush. They should be pointing up when installed. That is not clear in the manual. One handle didn't have enough ground clearance and is a finger pitcher. The pump took about 3/4 gal of iso #46 hydraulic oil to fill. It has a nice sight gauge to check the level in addition to a dipstick. I plugged it in pressed the button and both lifts rose in unison. I raised it about seven inches and lowered several times as instructed to bleed the lines. Refilled pump and the unit is good to go. I then raised the unit all the way and engaged the locks. At this time I inspected the unit very carefully, all nuts and bolts, etc. I found a lock release had a broken bolt. This bolt is about 3/32 in diameter and allows the lock release to pivot. There is no load on this bolt. I had a spare on hand so no big deal to change it. Two of the plastic end caps were broken during shipping but they are just cosmetic. I also found a loose screw on one lift. The unit lifts my Dodge Challenger Scat Pack with ease. Absolutely no leaks.Pros: Heavy Duty, well made couplers, pump unit is very nice with sight glass and handle,Con: Wheels are cheap plastic, don't know how long they will last but easily replaced. Handles need to allow for more ground clearance. This unit is extremely heavy although it does move easily on the ground and when sliding under the car. Oh, all those holes in the steel in the photos? Don't worry about it. This thing is beefier then it looks!Update: The next morning I discovered hydraulic oil on the floor under the pump. It was coming from the male hose connectors at the pump. They were both loose and leaking. I tightened them no more leak. Now I know why the pump was covered in oil when I unboxed.Update: 12/01/2024 As of right now this lift is $100 less than I paid for it! I have never seen a portable lift of this quality at this price!

Solid well built lift! Works great excel if you have a low profile car like a corvette you will need to make ramps out of doubled 2x12s to drive car up on to get lifts and lift pucks under frame. Any less than 6 inch clearance will need these ramps!

I've only used it once and it worked well. Easy to assemble. It doesn't come with hydraulic fluid.

Works as it is advertised,

It was very easy to put together. I read other reviews about the handles too close to floor so you can pick it up and roll it to storage. You people have the handles on upside down lol. But I put together and moto won’t kick on to lift. I hear the solenoid click but no motor action. It will run pushing down arrow. Got a call in to company let’s see what happens. I’ll update. Also the one guy was right, it comes in 3 packages but only 2 showed up then 3 days later the 3rd came.

This item came in three packages. I received all three of mine on the same delivery day. It took me about an hour to set up. You will need to go buy some hydraulic fluid for the kit. Everything works properly. Super simple to use. The lifts themselves are heavy but I don't plan on moving mine very much. I would recommend this to anyone looking at it. I will leave a update to this review if something happens over time.

Zero stars.....yes my fault for taking almost 2 weeks to get to opening it and then another two weeks of trying everything to get it to work. No, the troubleshooting guide in the book is useless (no, this was in every sense a pointless troubleshoot guide). And luckily amazon has an amazing video on the troubleshooting you may need that SHOULD have been in the guide book. However, none worked and I just saw I was 1 day too late to return this. Now I have to find someone more mechanically inclined than I am (and im a mechanic) to fix it or sell it or toss in the trash. God please run from this garbage. My opinion only but its chinese (you figure it out) and if anyone else has an opinion on what to do besides the troubleshooting video, please let me know.

The media could not be loaded. This 7000lb lift is definitely worth it. Came packaged separately in 3 boxes from FedEx. Just a warning, these boxes are heavy. Almost 130 pounds each lift and they feel every bit of it. Word to the wise, before use, tighten every hydraulic fitting and screw on the pump you can find just to be precautionary. Saves the potential headache of finding a leak after you've pressured the system.Build quality is great and worked straight out of the box after assembling the hydraulic fittings and handles It's also nice that it's spring assisted to help retract.After assembling and adding fluid, I cycled the lift to bout 5 inches and held the down button to retract them until you can hear bubbles from the tank. I did this about 8 times initially. I added fluid to about an 1/8 inch below the top of the tank and that worked perfectly first rip.I did not use the included wheels as I've seen videos on the cheap quality of them and their failure. I opted with (Schioppa R.210 TB - Black R.210 TB-2" Diameter x 3/4" Width Thermoplastic Rubber Wheel, Flat Tread, Wheel Only, 1/4" Axle, Black). This all black hard rubber wheel will definitely last.I went with Fram AW46 oil I purchased from Advanced Auto because it came in 1 gallon and thats all you need for the pump.
