In that particular instance of course not. As soon as I read the first reply I realized I should have chosen my words more wisely regarding "cheap." Just setting myself up for flames and the China thing. I'm actually not cheap and believe in quality. This equipment came recommended from various sources and to be honest I assumed it was American made from various wording on the web site. I didn't ask until it was rolling in the door, would I have bought differently maybe, I don't know? The seller, sells a lot of lifts in the area been in business 25 yrs, it was convenient .....
The lifts work well (now
) and do the job end of story. Sorry for the long thread just trying to limit the flaming....
Edit: adding the text I read into and assumed not China...
"The bottom line is this: Certain competitors will contract various Asian manufacturers to copy many of the popular models that have been produced by our ISO 9001 factory and are sold with a CSA approved power unit. When the counterfeit lifts are ready for market, certain competitors inflate the true rated capacity"
