Default X Post Group Buy on Scissor Lift

I will be purchasing one of these in the next month or two regardless, but I figured I would approach Greg Smith Equipment anyway to see what type of discounts are available. Here is the link to the lift:

http://www.gregsmithequipment.com/At...e-Scissor-Lift

Regular Price is $1495
Group of 3 orders will be $1395 per
Group of 10 or more orders will be $1345 per

Please check out this link regarding shipping costs / restraints:

http://www.gregsmithequipment.com/Shipping

Buyer will have to either pay for shipping or go to the closest Greg Smith Equipment location (Indianapolis, IN / Newark, DE / Atlanta, GA / Phoenix, AZ / Hudson, NH / Miami, FL / Austin, TX) and pick up. If you do indeed pick up you will have to pay sales tax which could likely wash out much of the savings you think you would get from not paying shipping. Real savings on shipping could be achieved if multiple lifts are sent to one location, then the buyers could transport them home from there splitting the freight bill.

Please refer to the Greg Smith website regarding information on the lifts, it's capabilities, shipping and or any other questions regarding it, I am by no means an expert on it.

I will be purchasing mine sometime in Mid February or early March, email me directly (not always on these boards regularly) at coreseller@fuse.net if you would like to order one. Thanks.......Mark.

Have you received approval from the Admin for this group buy?

If so, suggest you start a central thread somewhere appropriate, and direct all other threads to that one.

Yeah, I thought pretty hard about a MaxJax also, it seems they both have their tradeoffs. For my situation and garage set-up the Atlas makes more sense, very much wish I had the space for a 2 or 4 post but not the case.

A couple of guys who have the MaxJax complained of actual set-up time and storage when not in use, still a very nice unit imo.

For 928 owners, carefully check the dimensions of the lift to see if the swing arms will accommodate a 928. For the Atlas TD6MR (which I think the OP is referring to), those dimensions are in the downloadable manual. Some scissors lifts will not fit a 928's lift points.

I will have a Workhourse single post delivered any day now. It is a full working height portable lift that rolls around like a pallet jack. A few guys here have them already and seem to like them. They run about $2600.

Just food for thought.... you can get a scissor lift from Harbor Freight shipped via Truck for $1216.94.

I know many would not consider HF to be the same as other LIFT companies but the specs are all the same and if you get a $1399 LIFT from HF and use one of the 20% coupon codes with shipping you're coming out hundreds ahead.

Just food for thought.

Believe it or not that same HF lift was on sale about a month back for a one day special of less than $1k, plus you could use the coupon. I looked at the specs, it was larger in size than the Atlas, both had twin hydraulic cylinders, HF was 220 vs. Atlas' 110 voltage and even though it was larger it weighed 150 lbs. less than the Atlas. That tidbit took me back a bit.

In the past week I've cut, drilled, beveled, anchored and welded stainless angle that covers the concrete edge. I then grounded screw heads flush and went over the whole thing with 60 grit flap wheel. Today I cut and anchored in the composite material that the plywood will rest upon to cover the lift when not in use, also trimmed out the PVC pipes that are drains and under-the-floor passages for the hydraulic lines. Looks like I'm pretty much done with the hole, will be ordering lift and picking it up two weeks from today, if anyone else (currently have 2 buyers) wants one we will get a $100 discount......Mark.

Nice work on that hole. I like the idea of using composite as a liner and lid support.
