>I bought my 4 post hoist 3 years ago... and I love it! But not all lifts

>deciding on mine.

>Things to think about:
>1) how long does it take to go up and to go down? Mine is a lot quicker
>than the others I've seen... which is good for me, cause I can be
>impatient!

>2) how sturdy is it? I've seen some that flex beyond what I'm
>comfortable with, mine is very solid with no flex or sway of the posts
>
>3) what kind of safety locking does it have? Mine has metal pegs on the
>inside of all four posts and the cross bars have double locksall the way
>around
>
>4) are the safety locks inside or outside? (can you catch your fingers?)
>Mine are on the inside away from where fingers can reach
>
>5) what is the mechanism to open the safety locks? Mine uses air to
>unlock and let the lift go down (so mine needs a separate air
>compressor). I've seen some that use a mechanical setup (wire, rods and
>springs) that sometimes needed two people to get it to unlock & that
>would put one person in dangers way if something where to go wrong...not
>good IMHO.

>6) where is it made? Mine was made in the US (this matters to some
>people & not to others)
>
>7) How much weight is it rated for? Mine is 9000lbs (so I can also work
>on the SUV)
>
>8) How much does it cost? Mine was a little more than others, but when
>you are spending that much money... you want to get what is right for
>you.

>I bought a Bend Pak HD9 (the wider version, because I have a group 4
>with 13" wide rims in the back).

>Do your own research and get what's right for you!
