The whole compressor is just shy of 1000 pounds. That would be difficult to get down the stairs. I understand the water does not magically disappear. As stated in the original post, there are advantages to seperating the two components. I understand I will still need a filter/water seperator.

Yes, I currently have 50A from my service for my current compressor. Thanks very much for the suggestions. Now I need to figure out what to mount the compressor to...

I just ordered a 31 CFM compressor for doing restoration work including painting. I tripped across a nearly 20 year old thread where a guy talked about removing the compression pump from this compressor and mounting it across his shop from the tank to reduce the heat and condensation in the...

Great info! Thanks very much guys.

I am looking to start doing some rim refinishing in my home shop. My 20 year old compressor compressor will not keep up with the work I will need to do in the blast cabinet as it was only 10 CFM @ 90 psi new. I'm looking to get a compressor that is at least 15 CFM or more at a fair price. I...

I'm going to look at this one on Monday. I'll post my results. Nice that I could look at it before buying it.

I have been debating between a BendPak HD-9XW and Direct Lift Pro Park 9 Certified lift. Just when I decided the BendPak was the better way to go, I found the following being advertised locally: http://garage-toys.com/newfopolimoe.html The place that sells it claims to have sold Bendpak...

The BendPak rep says that a 220 powered pump will last longer than a 110 powered pump. Does that sound accurate? If so, I may have to have 220 put into the area where I will put the lift.

Thanks for the input Ross/Kzoo. Keep the input coming guys. I hope to make a decision on this soon.

I really appreciate the input from people on this forum. Right now I am taking a close look at the BendPak 9XL and the Pro-Park 9 Plus Certified. Both look to be well built and priced ok. A third lift I'm considering is offered local to me (Minneapolis). Guys, please take a look at the...

Does anyone have any input on this one? http://www.ebay.com/itm/4-Post-Lift-Automotive-Auto-Car-12000-lb-Capacity-Parking-lift-/290765289376?pt=Vintage_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&hash=item43b2f637a0&vxp=mtr

I appreciate the input regarding the 2 post, but I really think a 4 is the best option as I have in floor heat. I know I would drill into a heating tube with a 2 post. That would be a disaster. Having the option of moving it would be helpful in my shop too. Not worrying about it tipping with...

I’ve been doing some research on getting a 2 post versus a 4 post lift and I found this thread. Very good information. For my purposes, I am going to go with a 4 post. I like the stability of the 4 post – especially since I have a F350 diesel Crew Cab that will be on the lift from time to...
