Two post lift

[JohnN]

Hey folks,

It looks like I'm finally getting a real shop (YIPPEEE) and I may be able to satisfy my dream of a two post lift (asymmetrical, clear floor).

This is purely non-commercial, so I really don't want to spend the money something that will withstand 100 cycles/day X 5 days/week x 50 weeks/year, but nor do I want to purchase a death trap.

Does anyone have suggestions for lifts under $1500 (or so)??

Thanks mucho!

Hi,

i only have a recommendation

for getting a lift. i called a few

local lift service shops and asked

if they had any used lifts. most

did have at least two choices.

and the average installed price

was $800. i now have an old

hoffman lift, which appears to

be almost new.

try this way and you may get

a great deal.

good luck

a friend has one he picked up a few weeks ago and it's too big for his

(or my) garage. I'm thinking it would probably be unfeasible to ship. South Louisiana, Don

(well almost anything), but it would be a sumbitch for you to crate up.

Let me know if you're interested, though. . .

I second that. Call BendPack, they have some nice ones, and they have expert installers. Installing a lift is something left for the pros.

Their dealer in the area may have a recondition one.

If you know what you're getting into, that is...

Otherwise, you're going to need more $$$.
