I am going for it and buying a direct as well...been told my stuff is junk anyways, and Tamara has it insured...I would prefer a Buddy, but am really stretching for the direct as it is, will follow Kens words and be very carefull when getting close to the floor for cable tension and hope I get a decent batch of steel.

Dave did you get yours from Tim M. the lift pimp???

When this thread started back in May, there was a post about lifts from Harding Steel. Based on that I contacted them and bought one. These lifts are made in the USA and are really well-engineered. They are purely for storage; the car sits on a solid platform, so you have no access to the underside. The amazing part is how adjustable they are. I have one first-gen Camaro on top of another one in a garage with a 9'4" ceiling.

Benny,
There is or was a guy from Texas building a 4 post lift very similar to the BYB. He was at Carlisle last year although I did not get his name. Sorry

I bought a Rotary " Revolution" lift. Rotary makes most of the comemrcial lifts used by prfessionals, have been around for ever, made in US, built like a brick s-house, works great, independently tested ( a lot of them aren't)and a nice warranty, about $4250 installed 2 years ago. Suggestions, have a professional install it, these things are big, heavy and have a good amount parts and the pros know all the install quirks!! Godd luck Benny
