Have the same hoist at work, 4.2T, works great but a little slow on the up and down but certainly does the job.

I have 6 Chinese 2 post hoists. The pumps wear out as they are made from crap, but are only a few hundred $ to replace the whole unit.

The hydraulic hoses also need better securing as the get caught in between the post and the moving part.

Good value for the money, but as with most imported cheap stuff, they need finishing.
