I realize you have already purchased a different unit, but I wanted to put in my 2 cents for the next guy.

These are represented all over our local Craigslist. I haven't seen one in person, so I can't properly judge them. However, they appear to use the Nissan K25 engine with the Impco VFF30 & Cobra fuel combo on their LPG units. For diesels, it looks like Cummins or Deutz engines. I did note that the sideshifters are made by LDSJ (Liandong Engineering) which are a Chinese copy of Cascade products. The only lifts I've seen with this brand of sideshifter were made in China. Final assembly could be anything from attaching headlights & mirrors all the way to installing from modular pieces. I suspect the former.

But I agree with swoop223. If you are going to put this lift into a plant where business dollars are relying on it. You need to know that if a part is broken, can a replacement be obtained in a reasonable time-frame. Otherwise, you'll be losing money while you wait or will be paying for a very expensive rental. On the other hand, if this would be an occasional use machine, it might be worth the risk.
