[DeTomaso] autolifters

[SEL]

Indeed, I ended up getting a Bend-Pak (HD9 wide) - it is priced pretty agressively lift alone (2.4K delievered, no tax from AES) - that was for the lift, without the drip trays, casters or jack trays - true, if you include those, the bp product become almost 1K more expensive - so, true, apples to apples, it is not there, but apples to oranges (which is how I convince myself when I really want something), I said a bp lift today for a few hundred more, i'll get the accessories later ... thanks, sl

I guess their product was too good & their margins were too low. This is
what you get when you search for them.

I saw the post on Bendpak. Bendpak makes great product. I have some of
their tire equipment.

Dear Customers,

I am deeply saddened at the loss of yet another competitor . As of today
Tuesday May 3rd 2005 the website www.autolifters.com and the phone number
800-759-0703 local 316-630-0011 are no longer functioning. It has been a
rumor that the company could not sustain the competative pricing brought
about by all the Chinese imports and aparently the Chinese dominance has
taken it's toll on yet another American manufacturer. We suggest that if
you have placed orders with the company and have not received your product
that you do whatever you feel is in your best interests. If for some
reason between the time this e-mail goes out and you receive it, their web
site and phone numbers are turned back on please disregard this alert.
