Some reviews say the elevator may break. Can it be used without the elevator?

Absolutely. The pieces go together in any configuration you want, with or without elevator!

For us, it wasn't that the elevator broke, it was that the trucks quickly became too weak to make the elevator go up (it's the wheels of the truck turning that make the elevator go up). But, yes, we used the elevator for about the first two months and for the last two years we've been using the track without the elevator.

Yes, you can use it without the elevator. Ours broke and we continued to use it. You just can't do a figure 8 without buying a bridge or something for height.

Yes, it will work without the elevator, just not as much fun. Sometimes the elevator not working is because the tires are worn and won't engage the elevator mechanism.

It depends on the lift, but you should be able to with no problem. We just use a simple lift and it works fine.

I bought this machine about 2 months ago. I've had it upstairs the entire time with zero problems. The weight of this machine is not overbearing so you should have no problems building it upstairs. I didn't put a mat underneath mine but I would advise it.

Ours doesn't get a lot of use, but I don't see where it would break under normal use. It feels sturdy.

Yes, it can be used without the pedal. I've never even bothered with the foot pedal. I hope this helps!

Does your elevator still click? Just get hung up a little? The clicker in mine broke the first day and then we had a problem with the replacement part Plan sent as well. I ended up taking the garage back because I was running out of time for returns and worried about repeat breaking.

Possibly. However, it might pull apart because of the way it is put together. I don't mean it is not safe, just that it would be better not to move it with 1 person. It is easy to take apart and easy to put together so taking it down,moving it and putting it back together might be thebest way.

stability seems to require that any ladder should be used according to it's design for safety. in this case it means..open the ladderbecasue the steps are inaccessible until you do. isn't that a wonderful protective feature?the manufacturer precludes that foolish idea!

Yes, I actually tried my hardest to open it without doing the combo and the lever came down but the door did not open. If someone were to try getting into it, it might break, but if you aren't rough with it should be ok. Good safe for the money but it reflects that in its fixtures.

No it will not break for you, but it might unlock and fall. I do not recomend it.

Yes. It's much more than you need actually, I lift the bow of my 3,000 lb boat with it regularly. However, You can't leave it unattended. If you use it to jack it up and place wood or jack stands under it then fine. But if you just leave it, it will tip over.

I have not tried using it without the wheels. I move it around my house, raising and lowering it where needed, and love it.

I never done it, since by house has no stairs... You can try with caution and learn by your own experience.

Yes. My son actually uses it without the floor attachment. He pushes himself and I think is actually easier to maneuver than pushing it. When he wants to be push, he just put his feet up. We don't use much the floor attachment.

No btw the jack moving during lift u would be taking a great risk without having it secured.

Yes you should. It is a bit wobbly if you push it. Right now I do not have it attached but it's on my list of things to do :-). If you don't run in to it, it's fine, but it would tip in an earthquake I'm sure.

It doesn't need one, I don't think anything could break it, it is sturdy and well built.
