I am looking to purchase another lift.

Has anyone ever done business with Mech Uno?

www.mechuno.com

I searched for reviews, didn't find any but found that ScamAdvisor.com has this: mechuno.com might be a scam. We found several indicators for this.

Let me offer a thought or two for you. What is your life, -and/or your car worth to you? Standing under a vehicle while it is perched on a lift ...that just broke due to fatigued metal might just ruin your day, -or your life. Offshore made steel used to manufacture a lift should create concern for a buyer IMO.

I was looking at their Atlas lifts. I have been using their products for years, and I am pleased with the product.

BUT, I do not want to be scammed. I spoke with someone at Mechuno at 332 291 2055, but who knows.

I agree with Brent. Make sure you are buying a good lift.

How do their prices compare to direct from Atlas?

My son has an Atlas in his restoration shop and has worked well for the past 6 years. We bought through a local dealer who installed it. I would recommend using this route which might be a little more expensive but you have some recourse if there are problems. This is an item where quality and safety must go hand in hand.

Before I retired, I added onto my garage, and I installed a Mohawk 10,000 lb. twin post lift. It might be larger than 10K, I've had stroke? Just the hoist alone was over $10,000.00 (not installed). It required a 12" thick slab with rebar. I was a phone company mechanic, and we had inground twin post lifts up to 36,000 lbs. but we had one Mohawk above ground twin post hoist. I was so impressed with it I bought one, but it was stupid expensive. It's made to last forever. The uprights are made from 1/4" inch steel forklift masts. Every part of it is made in the USA. I can lift small cars up to dually pickups on it. I can lift by the frame, but I also bought the adaptors to be able to lift by the tires in case I don't want to scratch up the frame.

One year they replaced one of the inground hoists at work that was over 30-years old. I took the front rack head with its 4X4 adapters home. I made a tool to slide rearends in and out from under cars. I can lift the vehicle on the rack and then roll the front or rearend right out from under it. Iv'e had back surgery so no more lifting heavy stuff.

I also have a mohawk 5 ton lift 2 post as said made like a tank, don't think they are made anymore.

nkaminar · 10-11-2025, 07:17 AM

Any lift in my shop (garage) would push the car through the ceiling. If I have to work under the car I use good quality jack stands.

Keith True · 10-11-2025, 07:47 AM

Flathead,before I read your text I spotted your Weaver yoke from an in ground two post lift.I served lots of time under one of those.I bought a Challenger 7000 pound lift about 25 years ago.I really didn't work on cars,but wanted one for my own use.Truck and equipment parts got heavier,so I did start doing some car stuff.Some of the local garages really don't like to do rear ends,subframes and such.That was light work to me,so I did quite a lot of it.I kind of fell into the Challenger,but the reason I bought it was that the local junkyard had one,and they had a guy that could destroy an anvil with a rubber mallet.That lift held up under him,so I bought one just like it.

In answer to the poster's question, it sounds like nobody has real experience with this company. Looks like a seller/drop shipper who deals with many companies. Could be a good thing but I'd look at shipping charges before ordering and pay with a credit card so there is recourse if it goes wrong. Very good pricing for sure!

LeonardS · 10-11-2025, 10:58 AM

If you are interested in an Atlas lift, I would contact Atlas direct and make sure they actually do business with this company.

old31 · 10-11-2025, 10:27 PM

I called Atlas yesterday, and I am waiting for a call back.

old31 · 10-17-2025, 04:05 PM

Follow up:

Atlas told me that Mech UNO is definitely a scammer. She said that no way could anyone sell Atlas at those prices, never mind offer free shipping and install at $150.

Bill's Auto Works · 10-19-2025, 06:27 PM

I Agree With Brent,

I opted for a known brand (BendPak) when I bought a 2 post 10,000lb lift. While I have never been someone who worries about anything, as I get older I sometimes think about "worst case scenario" while working under one of my trucks that I use for transporting.

God Bless

I bought a 7000# Rotary lift from an acquaintance who was upgrading his shop. I called several lift dealers for installation, but could never get a reliable return call. I found the installation instructions, and had the concrete floor poured to those specs, and installed it myself. Awfully heavy, but I have a FEL for assistance. Flathead mentioned adapters for lifting by the tires. Sounds like a useful feature. What is the correct name and source?
