heres the lift I bought after a good deal of research, keep in mind its

CERTIFIED and TESTED

and AMERICAN MADE INSTALLED

AND PARTS ARE AVAILABLE

I wanted a 4 post UNTILL I used one at a buddies shop, and quickly found the two post had far better access to the suspension,wheels,drive train ETC.

 

 

"If Quality is what you're looking for, you'll find it in Ben Pearson's 9000SI Two-Post.

The reasons are simple, we build each lift to exacting specifications. Plus, we don't build any lift to meet our needs, we build them to meet your needs.

 

ALI certified/validated by ETL

Single point safety release

Padded overhead shut-off bar

2-5/8" & 5" truck adapters included

Extra long carriage for smooth lifting

Convenient stack-pad storage rack on post

Automatic engage and release arm restraint

Extra large ultra-high molecular bearing blocks

Low profile arms for low ground clearance

Optional height extension kits for taller vehicles

Clear floor design for convenient use of floor jacks"

 

this should help

ID STRONGLY SUGGEST NOT BUYING A CHINESE BUILT LIFT AND BUYING FROM AN AMERICAN MANUFACTURER

/KEEP IN MIND THAT PARTS AVAILABILITY IN THE FUTURE AN SERVICE IS FAR MORE IMPORTANT THAN SAVING A FEW BUCKS ON THE UP FRONT COST

ok having just gone thru this , Id point out that theres a HUGE differance in the REPLACEMENT PARTS availability and TECH SUPPORT availability and getting the lift installed correctly between the americam made and chinese built lifts, you probably DON,T WANT a 12,000 lb lift unless you excluesively work on larger trucks as the lift arms may not have the necessary clearance to use on low slung cars

a 9000 lb lift will handle almost all personal cars/trucks

 

 

"I have been looking for a lift for a while but my problem is my garage is not high enough for a full lift. What I want is a low rise or mid rise portable lift I can store under the car and it will be low enough to drive over when not is use. When I need it I can raise it up and have access to the underside of the car. Does anyone have one of these and which would you recommend. This is for a home garage. Thanks

PS what about a used lift any market for them, where would I look for one"

 

 

this will do almost everything you asked for in a low clearance garage

Ive used them at a couple friends garages that only had the comon 8 ft ceiling height double garages, and they work really well, but I used the heavy duty version so I don,t know about the standard versions
