Well I bought it used from a 'rice tire' down the street. They had like 4 of them because they got new lifts. Its called a 'tire lift' because its good for changing tires, suspension work, ect. There is good clearance under the engine too.



The lift will get the car about 4 feet off the ground, its almost all the way up in the picture.



I bought it for $250, all it needed was a new cylindar (which i got off one of hte other lifts (the others wernt in as good shape as this one)



Its made by 'Rotary' (heh good match eh?) lifts. this is all I know about it



damn, sounds like a good deal! I might have to look into that some day...

i like bobby's lift, but my brother and i are looking for a 2-post, low ceiling (8ft) lift. we can cut holes in the ceiling around the columns, if necessary.



here's one i found from eastwood: http://www.eastwoodco.com/email/default.asp?T1=43196



and it's looking to be one of the only ones that will work for us.

rfreeman, are those vertical posts part of your light-load lift? i wonder how to position some of these 2 post lifts with a garage door opener?



looks like the light-load lift from rotary will do fine...6000 lbs and up to 47". as my Dad sometimes says, "Good enough for a state worker" LOL



thanks to everybody for posting their links!
