I have a Bend Pak 10,000lb 2 post lift, use it a lot & in the 15 or so years I have had it had no issues. I use it to do maintenance on both my diesel pickups I use for transporting with no problem. However when I have the 4 door dually all the way up in the air, I put tall jack stands under the rear axle as the way the rear frame goes up towards the axle & the truck being so long, the rear arms of the lift don't get far enough back to make me feel comfortable being under it!
I LOVE my radiant heat tube propane fired heaters, but if you have not poured the pad yet, I would recommend the heat tubes in the concrete instead. Heat coming up from the floor is so comfortable on knees & feet the older you get!
Last recommendation....Once you decide on a size for the building, ADD a bunch more square footage because we can never have enough toys!!!
God Bless
