Omega Lift 2X serie 10,000lbs 2008-2009 - PROBLEMS

We purchased & operate several Omega Lift 2X series 10,000lbs vertical mast 2WD last year and we have run into several problem with frames carcking and we noticed cracks in the main frame rails just where the mounting block for the drive axle was welded to the frame. Also, the exterior beam of the lifting mast cracked on the top side of where the bracket for the tilt cylinder is welded to the mast.
We run several of theses units and cracks are appearing in all the same place on each machine suggesting structural design issues.
Is any one experiencing similar problems???

Has anyone else got any feedback about these machines or the Company representation that may confirm these are problems from the start????

A 1904 lecture by scientist Elie Metchnikoff extolled the benefits of consuming yoghurt for halting the "intestinal putrefaction" which he believed causes aging. The press reported yoghurt as a cure for aging and the ensuing popularity is still with us today.
