OH8000 Two Post Vehicle Lift
Our
Direct-Lift model
OH8000 Overhead car lift is an Asymmetric 2-post vehicle lift. The
OH8000 is the #1 choice for those looking for a shop quality car lift on an enthusiast's budget.
Why has it become the #1 choice when there are other companies selling 9,000-lb. capacity models for the same price? That's easy. The other 9,000-lb. models you see are copies of our 8,000-lb. models and the
unknown manufacturers have decided they might sell better if they just rated the lift higher so it appears you are getting more for less. In reality, our 8,000-lb. model Direct-Lift is manufactured by Rotary Lift Consolidated which is part of the
Fortune 300 Dover Corporation (NYSE:DOV). All
car lifts manufactured by RLC conform to
ALI/ANSI standards and will not be rated based upon a marketing strategy but are rated based upon the
OSHA approved Industry Standards for the USA.
If you are interested in one of the similarly priced, so-called 9,000-lb. capacity lifts, ask who the manufacturer is. If the distributing company is honest
(?) you will not get a name that will make you comfortable. Also ask about the warranty and you will find that their 12-month warranty is nowhere close to our 5-year warranty. How about insurance on that 9,000-lb. lift? Would you feel more comfortable knowing your lift was rated correctly according to USA Industry Standards and Insured by an American Fortune 300 Company or rated incorrectly and not insured by the manufacturer at all in the USA? The choice is clear for most and our 8000-lb. models remain the
#1 choice for some very good reasons.
Compare these 3 important considerations before you purchase your next lift.
1) Has the lift been engineered, manufactured and tested to the rigid USA lift guidelines? All of the
Direct-Lift 2-Column Lift Series models have been engineered, manufactured and tested by the same rigid
USA guidelines as our certified models yet at a lower cost.

2) Is the manufacturer known and where is it made? Most lifts sold to compete with the
Direct-Lift 2-Column Lift Series are imports that are being brought in from unknown manufacturers at slightly lower prices and with higher rated capacities. These companies do not conform to the
USA lifting standards and therefore guess at rated capacities. It is unknown whether these companies are even insured in the
USA (it should be vital that you ask these questions).
All
Direct-Lift models are owned and manufactured by the
Fortune 300 Dover Corp. (NYSE:DOV) based here in the
USA. Dover has
ISO-Certified manufacturing plants worldwide to compete in the global market. Dover is the
largest lift manufacturer in the world and also owns the Rotary Lift, Forward Lift, and Revolution Lift brands. You simply cannot buy from a more stable and reliable company based here and insured here in the
USA.
3) What is the warranty and availability of parts? All of our Direct-Lift models carry a
5 year parts warranty and a
1 year warranty on the power unit and hydraulic cylinder. Parts are inventoried here at our warehouse with a large, multi-million dollar backup at the Direct-Lift headquarters in Madison, Indiana. Our headquarters owns and utilizes an automated 7 Tower
REMSTAR inventory management and parts distribution system with a
99.5% accuracy. This large investment is unmatched in the lift industry and rivals many systems used by the car companies. Shipments are made daily in a very timely fashion. Most parts orders are shipped within 24 hours of order. Rest assured, no other lift company comes close to this level of commitment to customer service.
The
OH8000 vehicle lift is designed to fit in 12' ceiling and provides a clear floor for greater flexibility when using a
transmission jack. The Asymmetric design places the vehicle back on the lift making it easier to exit the vehicle once set between the posts. This
car lift has a dual point safety release, slack chain safety system and a high-tensile leaf chain lifting design. Two chain-over hydraulic cylinders are synchronized by cable adjustment so the lock system will engage at the same time on both columns. This proven design has been used in the commercial
car lift market for over 35 years.
The
OH8000 car lift includes the truck adapter set, anchor bolts, installation manual and is powder coated for a durable finish.
The Direct-Lift OH8000 car lift is manufactured in
Direct-Lift's ISO-9001 & CE certified manufacturing facility and backed by a 5 year parts warranty and a 1 year warranty for the hydraulic cylinder/power unit system.
