Who did you go with, both for installation and lift brand? I'm leaning towards a BendPak once I figure out what width I need between the runways and for the runways themselves.

Any recommendations? There was one guy, I think Bob, at something like RB Enterprises that I had talked to before but then bailed when I cancelled the Mini. Now I can't find his info.

 

I believe most people like the Revolution lifts

yeah, I like them too. But not enough to spend $6k+. At least if I remember that quote from them correctly. The Bendpaks are just over $3k and the reviews on them have been solid. Just looking for any customer testimonials from locals.

 

PM me tom'w and I'll give you the contact information for the guy who has installed all of my lifts. He's also installed all of Roy's lifts. You're looking at closer to $2k for these.

 

I've used him as well to install my lifts. Great product and better yet..........great service and local to boot.

 

They would you want a 4 post other than storing cars? It makes it more difficult to remove tires and work on the car. I've got a 2 post, and I'm glad I got that.

 

Thanks for the referral. If scheduline work out, lLooks like the lift might be in on Thursday when they do the garage door changes.

 

The Bendpak units are super sturdy and great value for the money.
I have an HD9-ST.

 

As an old Indiana boy I went with the Revolution (2 of them ) because I wanted the storage, and never had any problems. For what little it's worth, also put in a used Bendpak 2 post without floor plate and its' great quality too; caution here: installed on 4-5" slab and had to cut out the concrete and put in a 30" deep footing for safety, but at least cemented in 16" 'J' bolts

 

2 of mine are revolutions. they weren't 6k each. i think i paid 3500 each. i paid a local company $500-600 to build and install both of them. the revolutions are a lot larger tube steel and the installer said a very good product.

 

I helped a friend install a 4 post in his garage - it wasn't very difficult but did take some time, especially bolting it down to the concrete floor.

 

I have got a Rotary lift in my garage and love it! I would recomend giving that company a gander as well while your looking.

 

I'm leaning towards the Complete Hydraulic lifts since it seems a number of people on the board have them, including Roy. The only thing I'm unsure about is the runway spacing. On the 10k capacity lift, It appears that with the 37" innerspacing and 18.5" runways, the Gallardo would just barely make it within the outer edge of the runways. That doesn't leave much room for error. There is a 'wide' 8K cap lift that I'm thinking would give me a bit more peace of mind, but I don't think he has them in stock. I'll be calling him tomorrow to see when I can have them out to set it up. He does have the 10k cap in stock and said he could do that just about any time.
