2 post lift recommendations
It's time to purchase a 2 post lift for my shop. I'm looking at 9000 lb overhead lifts. I see several listed for around $2100 to $2500. Atlas, Tuxedo, Racer Direct, Nationwide. I did a search on this sight but didn't get much results. What are you using and how do you like it?
Thanks.

I have a Worth Equipment 7000lb floor plate model.
Quality of the lift is great, and it's made in USA. I bought it used, so it was about half price of new. I use it almost daily for my own projects, not a business. Floor plate style (cables run under floor plate instead of overhead) sucks for many reasons, but it's the best I could do with 10' ceiling.

I have a Bend Pak 10,000lb asymetrical and love it. I’ve owned it for ten years.

Thanks. I was looking at symmetrical, but I guess I should look at asymmetrical.

Lifts
Asemmetrical lifts are handy , advantage to symmetrical is you can point vehicle either way if that is a consideration .

how many of you guys are scared of the 2 post lifts? i personally have seen some bad incidents of vehicles falling off of them. im sure a lot of it is because of improperly setting the arms. i have seen one that the anchor bolts pulled out of the concrete. ive seen numerous accidents on the internet.
i am building a good friend of mine a pretty big mancave, with lots of room for car storage, living area, kitchen 2 bathrooms, enormous area with shelves and racks for parts storage nice gathering area and around it we have put 7 of the roll around hydraulic lifts. you can add the hydraulic jack to lift the vehicle to remove the wheels/suspension. i personally feel a lot more comfortable with this type.
