Otmar,
I dont think the companies near me would do you any good to save some money because they would have to ship that heavy lift to you, and negate any savings. I was mostly offering because James is moving to Texas. Just call a few of the bigger automotive shops and see if they know anyone who sells used lifts, I think thats what we did and found several. Then we checked our their operations and found a place that was pretty professional and had great prices. As far as the two vs four post debate goes, I think the only kind of four post I would get would be a BIG one...still need to bolt it down, but they usually come with a sliding jacking tray in the middle which has adjustable lifting pads which account for differnt width vehicles and are operated by air, so you can use the shop air to lift either the front or rear of the vehicle while on the lift. These lifts are awsome and you can put up to 13K lbs on them with no problems...however they are expensive. For how much the smaller, roll around 4 posts cost I would rather get a 2 post and you would have enough left over to buy a rolling oil pan and some air tools. You could also make some limiting straps for the suspension if you are storing a car for a while on the lift...or just remove the wheels...etc... HTH, Tony |

It makes sense that the sales people will be visiting the shops, so that's the place to go... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/burnout.gif) |
