I have been looking at these and other brands for quite a while and will pull the trigger before end of August. My must have's are: 10,000 lb. ALI certified, Asymetrical, full height lift (~72inches) and I have 12 ' 4 " ceiling height. A Genuine Rotary manufactured in Indiana is about $5,000 installed .....which is hard to justify for my hobbyist use. I can get a Revolution brand which is Chinese version of Rotary sold by Rotary (thru VSG which is owned by Dover) with the same specs installed for about $3,500 by a local Auto Equipment Dealer. Representative will be in my garage tomorrow taking some measurements and drilling a hole in concrete to determine if I have the minimum thickness that they feel safe to install. If you or someone you know has any experience with Revolution.....please comment. I will ask for local references from the dealer tomorrow.

Can't speak for Revolution, but this is what I was going to buy until I found a deal on a used lift nearby.
http://www.gregsmithequipment.com/2-...d-2-Post-Lifts BTW, Installing a 2 post lift took a buddy & I about 3 hours. If you can read a tape measure, a level, and know how to run a drill, you can install one.

thanks for the suggestions Speargun.
I did look at gregsmith in my research. hardest part of install is getting it off the trailer and into the garage!!!! That is why they charge what they do. |

I'm no lift expert, but a cowrker was jussst telling me how he's set on a 4-post lift. And he seems to know his 63 Corvettes.
