I actually had the architect design the height, width and door opening with the understanding that there will be two lifts in the garage. My wife is thrilled!!

I have purchased two 9000# two post lifts from American Automotive Equipment previously known as Team Lifts AAE

They may not be as well known as some but the price and quality has been excellent.

I have had a BB lift for probably 6 years and it has been fine. I opted for the 220 volt because the 110 volt takes alot longer to lift. Friends with the 110 know what I'm talking about. Not a big deal but when you are standing there with the button pressed you have all that time to think about how much faster a 220 Volt would be.

The 220V is worth the extra time to run a dedicated line. As Charlie point out the time to raise the lift is cut in half, or more with 220V. Mine takes about 45 seconds to lift, and even that is too slow!

I'm surprised...I looked at quite a few at Carlisle before I bought mine several years ago [at carlisle] and I thought the fit and finish on the Badk Yard Buddy was the worts of all I looked at.

I purchased a Stinger.

The powder coat finish was supburb and has held up flawlesly over the 7 years I've owned it. Never a problem. The company was a joy to deal with. I don't hear much about them anymore??? not sure if they are even still out there???
