This video was the only video that helped me wire my lift!! I just had an electrician inspect it and he was impressed!! I have an Ammco A0-9 9,000lb lift. Every other video had some sort of control unit in the switch box and did not apply to my lift. Thank you sir!! Great video!!

A few notes: -On the overhead switch you actually set the red on COM and black on NC. - No point on grounding the green cable from the overhead switch as you left it capped off up above -The wiring for the switches is different, but correct, than what Bendpak shows. The instructions might have changed since you uploaded this video, I confirmed with my neighbor who is an electrician, basically more than one way to skin a cat. - The way you wired your 120v receptacle is hazardous as overloading the circuit could result in a fire, your wire would burn before the breaker would trip, you need to run your receptacle on a separate breaker, confirmed with my electrician neighbor.

You’re awesome thanks for the help. I literally drew a diagram as you were explaining it and had it all done in under an hour, including climbing the rafters to the breaker box. Thanks

I’m thankful you made this video. My Dannmar (BendPak) lift did not ship with the switch for raising. They told me it was a separate purchase?!? So I bought it from Amazon and I’ll wire it using this video, minus the 110 receptacle. I’m also glad to see there was no relay needed in there as it seems many other guys had one.

Thank you so much!!!! I hate that they don’t just give us all the info. If you bought a rack and are installing it to fix cars I hope you have the ability to wire this rofl!!!

Good morning! I'm not trying to be critical. I'm concerned about your connections for your 110 receptacle. I thought it was okay to take a half of a 220 circuit doing the same thing you did. My electrician said it was not legal, because if the circuit overloaded on the 110 receptacle that it would not trip the 220 double breaker. I listened to him and changed the circuit for the 110 receptacle. I'm not sure, but it made sense to me. He is a certified electrician and does all the local college electrical stuff. Please check with your electrician. I'm not saying he is right or wrong and I'm sure you already checked into this, but it made sense to me. Thank you for your video. It was a great help. Keep up the good work.

Electrically, this will function but there is a lot wrong with wiring the outlet like that. First, you have a 20 amp rated outlet on a 30 amp circuit breaker. Second you are using 12 AWG wire that is rated for 20 amps on a 30 amp breaker. Third, you had a ground wire right there but opted to not put one on the ground screw of the outlet .Do yourself a favor and run one more wire either from your lights or you breaker panel for the outlet. It needs to be on a 20 amp breaker. Don't tie into your lights if you are using 12 amps on a 15 amp breaker. A short or overload can melt down the outlet and the 12 AWG wire and catch fire long before it will trip a 30 amp breaker. Yes, an instant dead short will trip it but what if it's only pulling 29 amps over a long period of time. The wire and outlet are only rated for 20 amp. It will get hotter and hotter until the insulation reaches it's flash point and all the insulation will start burning. You might not be home. Goodbye shop. The problem with not wiring the ground on the outlet is that a short in something plugged in will cause current to flow through the box housing to get to a good ground and if you touch the lift, you could get a good shock. (1.) Don't be the ground, (2.) run the extra circuit.

100% agree!!! But hey....a 40 year commercial electrician gave his stamp of approval on it!! So that makes it OK. I hope the poster never has a claim with his insurance company for issues in that shop.....this video is their smoking gun proof why they will not pay out!!!

I see that you have a flexible, gray conduit going from the ceiling down to the junction box on the motor. What is the width of that conduit? (1/2 inch, 3/4 inch, etc.?) Thanks!

It's actually a 120 leg and a 120 leg that make up 240 not 110 and 110 to make 220....

I'm no electrician as I stated in my video. But in my mind I have 110 receptacles. My lift required 220 power. 110+110=220 to me. Most novices or "do it yourselfers" understood my lingo.

110 and 220 is ancient lingo. Old cloth and knob and tube wiring was so inefficient there was tons of voltage loss by the time you were able to measure it so the 120 would drop closer to 110 at the outlet. The old timers can't stop saying 110/220 so don't even waste your breath.

how the lift controls come out farther just wondering how wide is your lift overall I know you can do the 12 foot wide which is widest lift can be installed....so I should say cause how the post are angled and the control unit how wide is it
