NSS-8XLT 8,000 lb Service Storage Four Post Automotive Lift

Great Product,Great Company.Thanks !!!

National Auto Tools was awesome shipped lift sooner than anticipated. Yellow freight line, however, had poor communication trying to deliver.

Ordered two lifts and they arrived within promised time. Like the product, would buy again.

As many have stated, the instructions are missing a few steps. There are a few you tube videos that will lend a hand. All in all, a solid lift and have no complaints.

NAT in Fort Worth are super to work with, found me a lift even helped pick the right one for our shop. Super heavy to move have help, building alone is not easy,had help with the decks. A few notes, elevate the cross beams to make it easier to run the cables and plum the hydro before the setting the decks on. Two issues, one was the hydro pack was not wired, had to put on my own cord. Second issue was the lock release kept losing. Spot welded, all good now. Thanks for the great lift at a great value.

Lift is nice, works good. I bought it for storage. My only complaint is that I had to buy a power cord, there was no plug on wire, it look like someone cut it off. I had to buy a 12 gauge short extension cord at a cost of $30. As a group of 3 people in the neighborhood, we bought 4 lifts. 2 lifts came with plugs and 2 did not.

I love this lift, It was easy to setup and get up and running. It will make my life much easier to do service work and store my cars.

Gave four stars only because the instruction manual is poorly written like others have posted. The product is great and the National Auto Tool company was great to work with. The lift is a great buy for the money. It would be easier with two people putting it together, but you can do it by yourself as long as you have equipment to lift the heavy ramps in place. FYI- If you plan on anchoring the lift, you need to purchase the 3/4' x 5-1/2' concrete anchor bolts, it does not come with lift.

I purchased the Triumph 4 post 8K lift to work on and store my antique cars and although shipping was delayed from seller it arrived in great shape and assembly was easy. I hope to have years of trouble free operation and would purchase product again if I had too. I love the mobility of the casters and aluminum ramps are a nice addition compared to a friends similar lift with steel ramps needless to say he's jealous of the aluminum ramps.

I looked at a lot of lifts and their features and basis for any four post lift seemed pretty much the same to me. I was looking for something a little larger than normal top accommodate a long bed pickup truck which this lift easily does. It's got plenty of room for that and my hobby car. The lift arrived via freight and the outside packaging was pretty screwed up (obviously a carrier issue) and my first thought was about what might be missing. Fortunately, the way these things are packaged, it's pretty hard to loose a piece, but I was also assured that even if I was missing something, National Auto Tools would ship replacement pieces right out to me. I had never assembled one of these before and the instruction manual is a pretty good one. The only advice I'd give is to clear up some of the pictures. The pictures in mine were a little dark and made it difficult to see the detail I was looking for. However, as long as you call these guys within normal business hours, they are right there to offer quite, polite tech support. They texted me images and videos of the things I needed clarification on and my assembly went just fine. The lift is plenty sturdy and works perfectly. Great tool!

John was great to work with on some damaged and missing items.he replaced them with a very quick turnaround. Would recommend national auto tool lifts.

My lift was shipped fast, communication was excellent. Hardest part is being able to unload and unpack everything. The 4 big bolts that hold the shipping brackets to the ramps were not tightened, so everything was moving around. Still, no issues with anything. Would definitely recommend.

Local shipper doesn't know how to leave voicemail messages but NAT was great. No pawl shaft spacers in package or directions for placement of casters for moving the lift. Also, air fitting on wrong area of hydraulic ram. Joshua emailed correct placement of air fitting along with photos of caster placement and agreed with me on PVC bushings for material for spacers. I have used lift twice with no problems.

all parts were there and most of it was really easy to put together

Easy to adjust and held my 7,500 lbs truck like it was nothing

Was easy to set up, and is pretty solid. Will help out with doing work in my residential garage, as well as giving me the ability to stack two cars for storage. Shipping was quick and easy and no missing hardware.

Packaged very well and delivered fast.....assembly instructions are a bit vague but seems very well built

I needed a small part for my four post hoist. I really like this hoist but had a small leak. I called John in parts. I gave him the information and he had my part and was in the mail to me fast. John is a great person to deal with and knows his business.This company has been first class from day one.
Thanks

This thing is awesome for the price. The way it's packaged it takes a lot to get it out of the truck (an old tractor with bucket loader wasn't able to do it). Once it's on the ground though, 2 people can easily put it together.
It's a bit wobbly looking while lifting things, but you get used to it. Once a vehicle is in the air, it always feels rock solid though. This is a trade off for it not being bolted down and the conveniences of being able to move it is huge.

The lift works as advertised but the instructions are the worse I have ever seen. First critical item is to ensure inform which runway goes on the motor side...extra work if overlooked. Secondly, inform the customer how to fill the motor hydraulic oil reservoir. Not enough End Cap bolts, had to use the one from the shipping bracket. Do not show how to operate the caster brackets. Extra bolts and shims that don’t know where they belong.

Recommend buying this lift but beware of the other instructions because there’s very little information available in YouTube or Google.

Received my 8000 four post lift in record time was easy to set up works awesome. Would highly recommend

For the money you can't beat this but there are a few things you should know.
1. No install instructions: I know this going in so I can't dock them for this. I found some instructions on google for this model and they mostly matched the pieces this one had.
2. Some pieces were bent or had the paint scraped off in shipping. Nothing I couldn't bend back and I'm no pretending this won't get scratched anyway. It's a tool in the garage.
3. Made in china, stocked in the US. Designed somewhere...
4. For residential deliveries like mine, I picked it up at the shipping terminal on my 18' car trailer and wouldn't want anything too much shorter. The package is the length of the runways.
5. You definitely need 2 or more people to assemble. The runways weigh a ton, especially the side with the hydraulic cylinder. Me and a buddy removed the cylinder temporarily to make the runway lighter.
6. The holes that the caster frames are supposed to pin to are filled with paint and the pins don't go in. You can rework the hole put I just put trailer hitch receiver pins in and they worked well. I definitely needed the casters to move the lift into final position.

Overall great lift though! I'm happy I bought it. For the price, I can deal with various fit and finish issues.

Overall the lift is a good value for the money. Does what it is designed to at a decent price point. Some of the things you will notice after getting it setup.
The Good:
The main runway comes with the cables already installed and ready to route
All the bolts for the different pieces are pre-installed where feasible, so you don't have to run stuff down or figure out what goes where
The materials are of sufficient thickness and stability to make this a dependable unit
My unit came with a metal fluid reservoir which I like better than plastic
Lining up all the bolts was good, everything when in without having to enlarge or force
The Not So Good:
The instructions are 90% useless. Really poorly written with illustrations that are really lacking in detail on how this goes together. I did a quick search of the net and found a competitor's manual that I used to do the assembly. Youtube was very helpful for assembly too.
The "bushings" for the lock release are somewhat sketchy. They work, but leave a lot of slop in the connection as well as the short rods for the lock release are not adjustable and the retainers are flat washers welded to the rod. Not the greatest design but it works...
The finish on mine was paint, not powder coating so it scratches off real easy. If it is powder coating, I have never seen it applied so thin before.
The top plates for the posts have a metal piece that is used to align the plate to the post and secure it (3 bolts). This is where all the work gets done. There could have been more weld on these for my taste, one of those snap off and whee, bad things happen really quickly. My stuff is 4k lbs or less.
The nuts that secure the cables to the top plates are just plain old nuts (2 per cable), could of just as easily used nylon lock nuts. They work, just need to jam them together really tight, use some locktite for good measure. They do have a safety wire hole in the cable end, put some safety wire on that too.

Great storage lift, been very pleased. Instructions could use some work but overall everything went together fine.

Lift arrived quickly, I have had almost a year, no issues. Lifts 3/4 club cab truck no problem, very stable. Hope to purchase a second on for my shop.

Ordered the lift along with the SJ-35 sliding jack. Received the lift in 3-4 days. Once it was set up, it works as expected. I did reach out to Josh and John with questions and about missing parts. Both were excellent in communication and taking care of any issues. Definitely recommend the lift and sliding jack. Josh even gave me a discount price for both. Reach out to Josh and John if you want to purchase... real gentlemen!

Excellent product! Very easy to assemble, it came in a crate type bracket. Very clever design couldn’t be better for my needs. Shipping company sucked but that has nothing to do with product, would recommend this product to anyone!

National auto tools were great to work with on filling my order. The lift was delivered perfect. Would buy again!!!

Lift arrived within 7 business days , minimal carrier damage (YRC) , assembled in less than 2 hours with two people . Excellent quality and performs flawlessly . 110 volt (3hp) pump motor is power hungry and will require a dedicated circuit to be safe on repeated use .

Great experience with NAT , called me ahead of time to verify I had equipment to unload , friendly and courteous .

Would definitely buy from again .
