I'm sure that with unlimited funds there are many things that I would change but with what I have, 30X40X12 with 2-10X10 rollup doors, the one thing I would most like to change is the doors. I wish I would have gone with 12' wide doors because it would have made access to the middle part much...

I labored over this question myself. I ended up getting a Dannmar 10CX, wide symmetric. I also have a diesel pickup and that influenced the decision. Another consideration was that I wanted the power unit next to the wall. With a symmetric you can mount it on either side. An asymmetric...

I don't know about the lift but I gotta feel bad for the owner. A pretty sad situation there! I hope he had good insurance.

[/IMG] I have a Dannmar 10CX and a 2500 HD Duramax and it goes to the top without hitting the cutoff. I'm 6'3" and have no problem working under it. I would not want it to go any higher. That truck weighs 7500 lbs. The higher you raise that weight the more critical balance is and the more...

Chevelle - I purchased a Dannmar 10CX earlier this year. I had a no-name lift for several years that failed due to the plastic wheels on the carriages falling apart. The Dannmar seems to be a quality lift and is far superior to the previous lift. I am happy with the Dannmar. It handles my 7500...

mrfrost - I purchased the symmetrical version, the 10CX, earlier this year after having a bad experience with a no-name Chinese lift purchased from America's Pride a few years ago. I believe that you will be happy with your decision. I also have a diesel pickup and wanted a lift that would be...

I'm glad somebody asked this question. I was wondering about this. I am 67 according to my birth certificate. My actual mental age is somewhere around 17.:3gears: Bob

I have just removed a defective cheap Chinese lift from my shop. I cut the bolts off flush with the floor. I will grind and/or pound the remaining studs down as far as possible. I want to install a new lift. At least one of the columns will likely end up being very close to where one of the...

I really appreciate you all taking the time to share your experiences with me. I guess I'm just hoping that I hear the answers that I'm wanting so that I can feel comfortable getting what I want. I got burned pretty bad on my previous lift by a dishonest dealer pushing an inferior lift. I did...

That was sort of my line of reasoning originally but it seemed like I kept reading posts where people were saying that symmetric was better for heavier vehicles. Real experience from real people is what I'm looking for. I appreciate the responses. I only have two vehicles that I would be...

I reread my initial post after receiving only one response and realized that I really didn't ask my question very well. I'm looking for those of you with experience using a 10000 lb 2 post asymmetric lift for heavier vehicles, specifically, 3/4 ton or one ton diesel pickups in the 7000 to 8000...

The Bend Pak says that the arms will work either way but I haven't seen anything from Dannmar saying that.

I have a JD 4310 which is about the same size as that. I bought it new in 2002 and it now has about 850 hours on it and I have never mowed with it. That sounds like a great deal, even at the asking price. A tractor that size with a loader is a very handy thing to have. You will be surprised...
