Reviews
The Blacksmith Pro 8000 offers great specs at $1,399 — 8,000 lbs, 40-second lift, complete accessories, 4-inch concrete. The lift functions well. However, PayPal-only payment is inconvenient for business purchases. No direct credit card processing, no financing options, no purchase orders. Combined with the lower 69-inch under-runway clearance and shorter 165-inch runways, the purchasing experience matches the compact dimensions.
The Blacksmith Pro 8000 excels as a vehicle storage lift — park a car on top, store another below, three drip trays protect the lower vehicle. The 8,000 lb capacity supports any passenger car. The casters reposition easily. However, for actual service work, the 69-inch under-runway clearance and 72-inch max lift height limit comfortable access. If service is primary, spend more for the Triumph 8000XLT's 79-inch clearance.
The Blacksmith Pro 8000 at $1,399 with complete accessories is great budget value. However, the dimensions are noticeably smaller than competitors — 72" lift height vs 82-84", 69" under-runway vs 79", 165" runway vs 180", 80" drive-through vs 99", 106" width vs 112-126". For compact cars and standard sedans, these work fine. For full-size trucks and SUVs, the smaller dimensions create clearance and fitment issues.
