Yes, I know that the topic headline will cause me to be flamed.
However if any one has any experience with using these Chinese roll under frame
Machines, I would be very grateful.

I am not looking for a professional machine, just something to
Tug somethings once or twice a month.

$2000USD for a tug a couple of times a month. :shocked:

The reality is that you couldn't make it for that price and, as long as you're aware of its shortcomings then it's probably a good deal, maybe cheaper than a second hand one that is likely incomplete or worn out.

I faced a similar problem recently. I don't do chassis straightening but, from time to time, get a job that needs parts of the body pulled. So, I made this:

Cost about $60 in steel and I already had the hydraulics.

No Flames Jack but Does the Term to good to be true mean anything to you ?
Thats way too good to be true, I see a Bait and switch going on at very least and a possible Big whammy on Import tax and shipping. just saying.

I also made my own puller Chained car to floor of shop chained engine hoist to the floor as well and used a Old Fashioned Come along to pull with worked great for minor pulls.
All I had to buy was some floor anchors from Homedepot.

Well after your advise and careful consideration, I passed on all of these
Overseas options. I bit the bullet and bought a nice used
EZ Liner 2 with all the accessories.

Thanks for all your help folks. Much appreciated.
