I bought two of the Katool 11,000 lb lifts and picked them up in Poole Georgia. Im glad I had a hydrolic flatbed trailer as they needed a crane to load these. I used roller Jack's to unload. MyGarage was great to work with as one lift was missing a safety catch bar and it arrived as I was assembling the other lift. I owned an 8,000 lb lift prior and thought it shouldn't be a problem putting these together alone. They are extremely heavy. The directions are terrible also. No mention of the plastic spacers that go on the bottom of safety bars, that it is quicker to insert the cables before bolting the platforms in so you don't have to take the pulleys out, and extending the hydrolic ram to give slack to bolt up cables. I used rachet straps and it worked perfectly. Outside of that, I took my time and used an AC hoist and a roll around jack as there was no way I was picking up those runways by myself. The first one was intimidating. No directions on the hydrolic fluid either but that was just pour in and run a few times to get the air out. Youtube explains the different types for your demographic. You'll need to get a 20amp 3 prong plug for them if you're going the 120 volt power. I found on Amazon for like 10 bucks. These lifts are extremely heavy duty lifts and outside the lack of directions, were an excellent purchase. I understand the reason for the high shipping cost due to the weight. Only complaint is the runways are not diamond plates as advertised and are smooth but not a deal breaker for me. Second lift went together much quicker. They support my Ram 3500 without an issue. Got them on Fathers day sale and cost less than an 8,000 lb lift. Again, MyGarage was great to work with and answered every email question I had. No, I have no affiliation with them and was not paid anything. Just a great purchase.
