Not going to be lifting any big bolts but don't want to limit it to little foreign cars either. | | | | | Joined: Jan 2000 Posts: 2,074 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Jan 2000 Posts: 2,074 | I got the 2 post unit with arms that swing under. My big problem is that it's outside (had to pour a new concrete slab) and will be shoping for one of those RV covers. With the four post/ramp style you can move it around pretty easily inside and out. I think your garage, barn or building is the first issue, just wish I had the bigger shop. | | | | | Joined: Aug 2005 Posts: 6,377 Ex Hall Monitor | | Ex Hall Monitor Joined: Aug 2005 Posts: 6,377 | Beware of cheap lifts made in china. I've seen pics of cars seriously damaged after a cheap lift failed. There are a number of quality lifts available. Most 7-10K lb. lifts will set you back over $2K. Personally I'm partial to Bend-Pak.

They talk about the different types of construction of other brands too.
