The lift was indispensable today removing and reinstalling the tank and adjusting the exhaust. The hoses have relaxed some, but still as you bring them back toward the power unit they coil right up. Good hydraulic hoses are pretty expensive and have to meet certain requirements, my guess is they would probably be the single most expensive part of the lift to the manufacturer. The quick disconnect fitting seem to be pretty high quality, not a drop of leakage when using them.
The high pressure hose on my power washer for example is quite hard, but still "loose" and flexible, and rated for about 4,000 psi.
I might need to stretch them out and apply some warmth, hasn't been above about 65 in the shop since I unpacked them.
I'm happy with the purchase, I was dreading doing the necessary detailing under the car, will be so much easier with this lift.
