Looking at the expanded view, the weld on the bracket to u bracket looks very unprofessional, has anyone had one of these break during use?

I have had mine for almost a year now and nothing has broke on it. It is well made and their customer service is very helpful on questions.

I'm not sure about the U brackets, but mine came apart in the seam of seat with VERY little use.

I believe this is a high quality seat. The only issue I had with this model was the height. I need this for working on motorcycles in my garage. This unit is a little too high on the lowest settig. I ended up buying the Traxion 2-700. Very nice.

No issues so far. I use mine to scoot around a crawl space, the wheels are of good size and roll well on the concrete floor. The "handy ruler" is a cheap stick-on and essentially worthless--they should have molded it into the plastic.

I agree with chuffyUSA and Randall S... I purchased one for my newly purchased Ultra Frame, and the mounting brackets/clamps DO NOT work with the Ultra Frame. Sending it back today.

How old is your bracket? Mine has been up for around 10 years with no problem at all. Now, I don't change the angle so ti pretty much stays in the same position as when I installed it. Try wrapping the male piece in several layers of teflon tape and re-tightening. That may help.

Hey Guys, I just received a 2nd, 3-tiered unit. Low and behold, again with the same 2x3" support bracket that Michael Vitale commented on on May 23. As I don't see any replies that appear to be from manufacturer's reps, I'm going to do a bit more research. If no further response from me, you can figure that I sent it back. Bummer.

Greetings: Mount the bracket end the same as the old one. Ignore the orientation of the support, there have been a few design changes for the better.Thank You, Lou Fishman

I haven't taken it apart. I don't know what kind of bracket it would replace or why you wouldn't just use this whole new unit.

Mine just slid right in. sounds like your bracket is slightly bent or something.

Apparently the "FAIL: relay weld" issue has continued into units shipped in 2015. Mine was on a shelf unit with only about 1.5 inches to lift and drop . . . but it worked! Plugged it back in and unit was back functioning as it should. Percussive maintenance at its best.

I woul take it apart and clean it once a season. I did not do this and the supports for the heat deflectors are rusting away. I think this is a fatal occurrence and would want to avoid at all cost. I think that is the grill's weak spot.

Mine just broke after 3 years. I had mens suits hanging. The screws holding the wooden rack eventually pulled though the bracket. I am in the process of replacing right now.

its a great welder. i mainly run it on 220volts. just welded up my frame and made hardcore plate bumper. very strong. i also had to make floor pans out of 18 gauge. the original pans were probably only 22 and some spots kinda thin. it did very well. half way through i ran out of wire and had to use 0.35 flux and still performed well. the settings are fine and honestly only use three of them one for thin another for exhaust and than all the way with thick. i mainly change the wire speed. i have ran at max for probably too long many times and no problems. only tricky thing was first setting up wire tension. now it never jams. overall love it its a great welder. i mainly run it on 220volts. just welded up my frame and made hardcore plate bumper. very strong. i also had to make floor pans out of 18 gauge. the original pans were probably only 22 and some spots kinda thin. it did very well. half way through i ran out of wire and had to use 0.35 flux and still performed well. the settings are fine and honestly only use three of them one for thin another for exhaust and than all the way with thick. i mainly change the wire speed. i have ran at max for probably too long many times and no problems. only tricky thing was first setting... » Read More its a great welder. i mainly run it on 220volts. just welded up my frame and made hardcore plate bumper. very strong. i also had to make floor pans out of 18 gauge. the original pans were probably only 22 and some spots kinda thin. it did very well. half way through i ran out of wire and had to use 0.35 flux and still performed well. the settings are fine and honestly only use three of them one for thin another for exhaust and than all the way with thick. i mainly change the wire speed. i have ran at max for probably too long many times and no problems. only tricky thing was first setting up wire tension. now it never jams. overall love it « Show Less

It is highly recommended that this be welded instead of clamped. If you have any further questions, feel free to contact us. info@truckfinity.com

Just used a wrench. I had limited corrosion around it I guess so it came off with the use of a wrench and a cheater bar

Same thing happened to mine. I just ordered a different brand from B&H.; I had mine on a custom bracket and used it for a few months and the same happened.

You can go either way , weld it or clamp it ....just remember if ur going clamp mode make sure the clamp overlaps at least 1 1/2" on each side ...minimum. It isn't heavy and if u reinforce it with a bracket u should have no problemo !

I just pulled mine out. Take a little force but pull the right and left pole of the bracket out at same time and it's easier. wasn't that hard

I used the unit for the first time yesterday, and I also had trouble with the clamp lever initially. It required a HUGE amount of force to loosen the first time. Clearly their a bit overzealous in their tightening department at the factory. I literally have a bruise on the palm of my hand this morning. Once I got it loose the first time, it's been fine ever since then (because I don't overtighten it).
