Auto Lifts

[enio45]

I'm shopping for 2 double park type lifts for my new garage...i think there was a thread on this some yrs back but cannot find it.

Any advise or experience from the members would be appreciated.

I have heard nothing but positive things about "Back Yard Buddy" lifts. I am actually looking to buy one myself this winter.

Ed, My recommedation is a backyard buddy. I bought one and it is built solid. No problems so far. See my post on TC about installing it.

And yes, you will need something like the Kubuto to lift the panels, the one with the ram was the heaviest!

Anyone use the double park brand?

Kevin, good pics and writeup on your purchase and installation...

Try www.revolutionlifts.com. I bought one and the quality and performance is great. It is made by Rotary, who make most of the commercial lifts in the US. I was able to make a deal with the marketing/sales person at Rotary/Revolution and saved a lot off the list price, he even threw in a caster/wheel kit for nothing. US made and one of the only units that is independently tested by an outside safety firm, paid $500 to have it professionally installed, well worth it. Check www.garagejunkies.com for more info on lifts. Good luck SULLY

I have two Master Lifts in my garage. Purchased through Quality Tool in Temecula, Ca. The lift are good. HAve had some problems with them and working around them can be a big pain. Warranty follow up from Quality tool has been very poor. I'm sure you can do better.

I am negotiating now for the purchase of a "Magnum" 12,000 lb. 4 post lift with (2) 6,000 lb. rolling jacks to put in the new shop I am building along with my new home.

I have looked at several and believe this will serve the purpose I want it to provide.

Obviously it is overkill for the Camaros but if I want to get my truck up on it, I won't encounter any problems. The lift will accomodate a wheel base length of 192" and runs on 220 vs. 110 electric.

This lift is going to run $6,154.00 including sales tax and installation.

The next closet bid to this was $7,040.00
