Direct-Lift® Pro-Park 8 Plus Certified 4 Post Lift

I have had this lift for a year now. It is my first lift and I drove 340 miles and picked it up at the Ft. Worth warehouse. Great service from Derek Weaver and very friendly. I set it up by myself (did need an engine hoist) as the left ramp weighs about 900 pounds per direct lift. It took me a couple weeks days to get it assembling and leveled. I have used it several times and love it. No problems. I did finally bolt mine into the concrete floor when I was sure where I wanted it. This lift is very well built and I feel safe working under it. I am fixing to purchase the pro-lift Jack as I have used a scissor Jack off of the Jack tray that came with my lift. This 8000 pound lift is the best investment I have ever made. I am 66 and it is so nice to work under my lift vs. crawling around on the floor.
One other thing, these guys know how to pack this lift for damage free shipping.

I can easily give 5 stars for the quality of the lift as well as the service from Derek Weaver company.

Great lift. Very heavy, you will need an engine hoist or 3 extra people to help build it. I found an online vid from Direct Lift that helped tremendously. Owners instructions were lacking the detail i needed to build it. The lift works great. I like the height so i can walk under without ducking. I would highly recommend this autolift for any homeowner!

We put this in the corner of our shop, it works great, I want to order 1 for my house now!

Direct Lift continues to be a favorite in our home restoration hobby. I use it constantly and move it all around the shop. You can lower it over a pickup box and lift off the frame if needed. It is built very well and have had NO issues. I will be ordering more in the future.

I spent a lot of time and did a lot of research comparing different brands of lifts and decided on this one. I waited a few months to do this review and have decided I made the right choice. Works as advertised. I recommended the lift to friends and now 3 of them have Derek Weaver lifts. Two have the Pro-Park 8 Plus and one has the Pro-Park 9 Plus. All are equally satisified.

I took along time to decide on this purchase. I made a thousand excuses how I can use a bottle jack and ramps etc to do the job. Now that I pulled the trigger It has given new life on my auto repairs and rebuild. I picked up at the warehouse in Ft Worth, easy and painless. Assembly is relatively easy but the directions are slightly confusing.I would suggest atleast one other person if not two and a hoist. If you've researched or seen the lift in person it helps make sense of it all. All in all about five hours to assemble. Filled the reservoir, plugged it in and up she went. Lock release takes a little adjusting but no real hassle. Enjoy!!

Nice lift, I like everything about it after initial use. I rated it 4 star only because the 5 star rating said the best, and I don't know that it's the best for sure. I assembled it with the help of two friends in about six hours.

Bought this lift because I had purchased a similar lift about 10 years ago built by the same company and it has been flawless. This new unit seems to be the same quality and very easy to assemble. Had the lift up and running in 6 hours by myself with the help of a material lift and am very pleased with the quality. It was delivered as quoted and packaged very well. Time and usage will tell the story but I expect no problems. Did a lot of research and this is the best value for the quality. No complaints at all.

The Pro Park 8 Plus is a valuable asset to any garage or workshop. This took about 5 hours to get unpacked, assembled and into operation. I just love it! I was weary of the Chinese factor but I carefully reviewed all the components, welds, materials, etc. and very pleased with the final result. No complaints. I did a lot of research before buying this and not disappointed. I can highly recommend this product.

This is my first personal lift. I opted for a professional installer so delivery was included! It took them about 3 hours to set it up. The lift is very easy to operate and the included drip pans are a bonus for anyone with classic cars since they all seem to leak something. Another nice feature are the casters that allow you to roll the lift around the garage if you need to move it. I've only had the lift for a few weeks but I really like it so far and have no complaints. That's the only reason I can't give it 5 stars.

Bought this for my first lift to use in my new home industrial mechanic shop. Directions to assemble was a little tricky to figure out in some parts but easy to get together. I have used it on around 40-50 vehicles now and works awesome for all the repair jobs from brakes and tire repair to engine and transmission removals. Just what I was looking for in a four post. Makes everything a lot easier and worked great on a variety of vehicles. Will be buying a larger lift from Derek weaver in the near future for sure.

Really nice and enjoy having it.

Extremely well built & relatively easy to install.
I say relatively as the instructions are not as clear as they could be. Great news is, it was still easy enough to put together!
I will recommend this lift to all current (and future) friends looking to buy a lift. The folks at Derek Weaver were GREAT to work with!

Once assembled, the lift is great. Construction and materials are very solid, operation is smooth. I was disappointed in the assembly instructions. Diagrams were simply from the AIM and showed expanded views.

Straight forward setup, did the heavy lifting with two men only. Not recommended, but we showed it can be done. Leverage is your friend when moving the treads.

Great product, great price. At1920 pounds this lift costs just a little over $1 a pound. Considering the quality and size I don't know how Direct does it!

I have purchase other shop equipment that involved re- drilling holes, drilling holes that were not drilled at the factory etc. The Direct lift bolted together without any problems at all. It rolled into position, we loaded a car, took it to the top and parked another car underneath just as we planned. The plus model offers good head room underneath. If you want to work under the lift there is plenty of room.

Packaging was well designed. Lots of though put into condensing the size of the unit for shipping. When the unit arrived and we unpacked everything, one Heim joint end was missing off one of the unlock rods. One call to Direct and the missing heim joint arrived two days later, no questions asked.

Would highly recommend this lift especially if storage of cars is your goal. If doing a lot of mechanical work is your thing, you may want to consider a two post lift because of greater access to the underside of the car although oil changes and general maintenance can easily be done on the four post.

Very happy with our purchase!

I have received and put together the Pro Park 8 lift. I am very pleased with it. It took about 5-6 hours to assemble, test and start using. I have a Rotary 2 post asymetrical lift and I like this 4 post just as much, if not more, due to the ease of getting a vehicle up on it. It takes a car up very high so you can park something pretty tall up under. The quality of the lift is excellent. I thought that the assembly instrucitons were as not good as they could be. They need to include some pictures and be more clear. However, we got it done and I am proud of the lift.

Donna took my order and was extremely helpful and pleasant. I give her 5 stars, too. A fork lift is needed to get the nicely packaged lift off the enclosed truck. Two of us erected it in about 3 hours and fully adjusted and operational in another 3. Better instructions would have shortened the assembly time. Good design, great engineering, I highly recommend it.

I just purchased the Pro 8 Plus four-post lift and I can say that the lift is simply great. The kit was totally complete with all parts neatly packed and all present and all in great condition. I assembled the lift in ruffly 8 hours and hey, I am slow. It went together perfectly and works great. Direct lift = Great lift. thanks.

Company was able to provide me with several options for local installers who received the unit and then brought to my house and installed it according to my schedule. Every question I had regarding the lift was promptly answered and order to delivery was only 3 days. Lift is installed now and I love it as it has expanded my 3 car garage to a four car.

Great quality, easy to assemble, great value for the price. I like that it is certified and the company that oversees its production is a fortune 500 company.

Really helps my car restoraton projects. No longer do I have to crawl on my belly like a reptile not to mention getting up off the floor a thousand times. It really helps with storage of other vehicles in inclimate weather. The free drip pans are a real plus. Thanks, Allen

Good quality materials for lift itself. I would liked to have it a bit wider. My Dodge Ram barely squeezes between the uprights, even with the mirrors folded back. Shipping damage problems were taken care of very promptly with no hassles. Obviously customer oriented. My next one will come from here.

What a fantastic product! Why did I wait so long to get one. The craftsmanship is second to none. I ordered it and it was shipped to freight yard here where I picked it up. Took it home and wondered "what have I done?" Turns out I had done something that I should have years ago! The packing was perfect, the instructions well written and the whole assembly well thought out. I assembled it by myself, although I would suggest some help with the ramps as I was told in the instructions, but since when do guys follow instructions! The lift works better than advertised. It rolls around with the car on the lift, at the lowest position, with ease. I can't thank you enough for putting out a product so well designed and well built.
