Let's talk lifts

[gilby959798]

I'm looking to get a 2 post lift for my garage. I've worked with a symmetrical lift plenty of time and hate how I can't open the door on them so I was thinking about an asymmetrical lift, 10,000 lbs so I can still lift my super duty. I think I am going with bend pak since I've worked with their product and they are well built. Let's hear your experience!

A friend of mine got his for $1500. Installed.

Let me know if you want me to hook you up with him.

Never used a bendpack. I had a rotary in my home shop same as the dealership. Asymmetrical.

Anybody here using an eagle lift? I got a catalog in the mail and they have both symmetrical and assymetrical 9000lb lifts for $1,500. Definitely going to pick one up

I was going to install one as part of finishing my garage, but my ceilings are only 9' tall. So, not gonna happen. Perhaps in the future.

I'm considering a scissor lift though.

Seems awful expensive for what you get considering this is $1500 and true electric/hydraulic:

Greg Smith Equipment Sales Inc. - The lift professionals with quality automotive equipment at discount prices.
Installed 2 of their lifts last year in my old shop. Inexpensive and held up well. And depending where in Ohio you are, it's a short trip to Indy to grab one

Check to see if any garages, dealerships, etc are going out of business in your area.

I went to an auction at a dealership closing and NOBODY even bid on any of the Rotary two post asymmetric lifts. They were too big for my garage so I wasn't interested. But I asked the person cleaning out the dealership about the lifts and he said they were going to have to PAY someone to haul them away. Maybe you can check around and luck out.
