If the relay were to stick all one would have to do is push the lever that allows the lift to descend. If the pump continues to run, wait until the lift is all the way down and then there is lots of time to go and disconnect the power.

Re: 4 post lift
The electromechanical relay issue is not something I made up as a tall tale. I was working with one of the major US manufacturers of the motor driven hydraulic pumps used for several of the commercial grade car lifts. Their legal department was very busy with this liability issue getting into the thousands of dollars in settelments until their engineers and management upgraded their Chinese made ~ $2.00 relay to a ~$20. USA made solid state relay manufactured by Crydom. I did not make this stuff up trolls.......

Do you use your lifts commercially with up to 20 cycles per day. Lots of difference in use on these lifts between oil change shops, car dealers, and a guy in his home garage..... |

Re: 4 post lift
I bought a Back Yard Buddy about 25 years ago. I use daily, and have not had
problem with it. I use it for all kinds of jobs. Being that I do all my own work I would be lost with out it. I even raise my car to clean wheels, tires, clean and wax from the waist down with out having to bend down. |
