Took about a day...the instructions says 2 guys 4 hours...LOL....Actually found a video on Youtube of a guy putting together the same lift...that really helped us out and the instructions might have well been written in Chinese.

Got it from Greg Smith Equipment...2145.00...I picked it up at warehouse in Phoenix.
 
The directions were a joke. I got the same one. With 4 guys it took about 8-10 hours with a couple of beer breaks!
 
That's the same one I have, they are great to have. When I bought it, they threw in to bridge jacks as well. Wish it had aluminum ramps though!
 
Bought a Direct-lift 11 years ago. Best tool I have ever purchased.

Turned my 2 car garage into a 3 car garage with some mods to the garage door and opener.

Saved me a ton in storage and repair costs that I wouldn't be able to do with the car on jacks.
 
You'll find the one accessory that is worth its weight in gold is a mirror on the wall in front of it.
 
That is the next style lift I'm going to get for the other shop bay. I have a bendpak 9000lb two post I use everyday. I want a 4 post to be able to do oil changes and etc with out having to set to the lift arms everytime.

That is a good price as well. Did you have to drill anchors in the concrete and bolt posts or does it just sit on the concrete?
 
I have 4 of those Atlas 4 post lifts.....Garage Pro 8000 model. First one took me best part of 2 days to assemble alone.....partially due to no helper but mostly due to the terrible instructions. I learned though and the last 3 averaged about 6 hours each working alone. They are great....allowed me to stuff 15 vehicles, a horse trailer, motorcycle trailer, 2 motorcycles and a tractor into a 32 x 80 shop
 
You can anchor it down but they give you wheel attachments to move the thing around. Two guys moved it fairly easy.
 
I also have a 2 post lift....in the 1st picture you can see it still on the trailer..

here is my post about going after the lifts....posted a couple weeks ago..

Loved more after getting home with both of them....600 miles..burned about 120 bucks worth gas...

I got to the store..and I had call on Tuesday to check stock...the guys say no problem ..got plenty of both...get there today...and they sold all the 2 post that I had wanted that morning....

The guy says he can upgrade me to the next bigger better 2 post for 100 bucks more...he dropped the price a 100 bucks also...and then they drop the price on the 4 post 50 bucks...

then the best...Arizona...does not charge sales taxes if you are out of state and taking the product back out of state...fill out a form and sign on dotted line...bingo...saves 360.00 bucks....
 
Moved the 71 Duster to the next bay under the 71 Demon....love this... dam..need to wash that car too...

and we unloaded the 2 post lift and got the two pillars upright....heavy suckers...used the engine hoist and muscle to get them up...

ceiling is 12 ft....pillars are 11 ft 10 inches.....
