[DeTomaso] Garage hoist / lift - suggestions?

[SEL]

Erik - you will receive lots of opinions on this - what appears clear to me is that you will need a 4 and not a 2 post lift - clay's recommendation is an excellent one - another, and the 4 post i use, is a BendPak (in my case HD9 - 9000lb capacity) - good luck and let us know what your research shows and which way you go - thanks, stephen

I just bought one and put it together myself with some family help.
It is a Revolution Rotary 4 post.  I opted for the non XLT as it is smaller and fits my garage better.I wanted to work on my car more easily and store 2 cars in one spot.  I have an Acura under it with plans for a GT5S or Cobra on the bottom eventually.

The quality is superb and the welding and gloss powdercoat looks like artwork.
If you want pics or more info I can provide.  Made in the USA and purchased from

If you get it shipped free by Yellow Shipping and put it together your self with a friend you save tax plus the 600 $ installtion.  Two people can do it all except two you need 3-4 people to avoid injury for two steps-or at least an engine hoist.

One thing to consider if you do it yourself is box size/transport.  My box was 14 feet long 3 feet wide, 3.5 feet tall, and 2,000 lbs.  

Only complaint I have is the 220 volt does not come with cord/plug for electric and some of the hardware needed metric and some SAE.  You can get 110 V but takes longer to lift.
