Guys,
I'm getting ready to pull the trigger on a 2 post lift. while the 914 is light, I alsoi have to hoist up a LandRover Defender 110 as well, weighing in at 6500 - 7000 lbs. I'm thinking a 9000 lbs rated lift will be fine. But there are several different brands now available - with a WIDE range in prices. so the cheap ones include Launch (they now have a 1 piece design for towers), Autocraft, and Tuxedo. I assume all are probably Chinese - but I don't know for sure. all could be had for under 1500 - plus I will need to pour a 20X25 slab. The Greg smith Elite seems like a good price for a unit they brag about, and have good reviews posted - but by whom? Further up the price line - add an extra 500 - 800 bucks is the Bendpak, I think they are good quality then some really pricey units above that. so anyone have any idea on suitability - I'm using the lift once a month or so, i'm just a lazy hobbyist! |
