Looking for a good place to buy a Rotary SPO12 2 post lift from, and approximate lead times. Thanks

Thanks for the replies. I found this Redline lift and I think OTC has a similar version. https://www.redlinestands.com/catalog/shop-equipment-c-327/automotive-c-327_328/transmission-jacks-c-327_328_244/redline-reptl-powertrain-lift-p-1833

Anyone here use a powertrain lift to remove engines from front wheel drive cars? If so did you buy one or make your own?

Thanks mautotrech, those Ranger machines are quite a bit more than the Weaver machines. I would like to know if they are really made better or work better than Weaver.

Thanks chevy302dz. From what you and others on here have said, it seems like the Weaver machines are good for the price.

Thanks mautotech. Those Ranger machines look nice. what are the model numbers of them?

Thanks again that's solid info. I'm leaning towards the Weaver for the price and the way they seem to hold up ok. I'd like to hear from some more people before I really make my mind up

Thanks for the comparison from the Weaver and Ranger Brand X, that is the info I'm looking for. Does Weaver seem to have good service if you were to need anything?

Thanks again for all the advise. What would be a good company to deal with for price and service?

Thanks ovilla those are some really good tips. I can see that doing many sets of tires could cause a large stack of used tires to accumulate quickly

Thanks for the reply signcrafter. I already have an Ateq tpms tool so I can program sensors. I use it mainly now for rotating tires to relearn the tire position and to find quickly if a sensor is not working.

I'm curious as to how much difference there is between the Weaver and Ranger tire changers. I know they are both Chinese built, so I'm wondering if they are the same machines or not

Thanks for the replies, Coats would definitely be great, but the cost would be high for just using on occasion. I would like to find a solid brand for occasional use, kind of middle of the road, not the cheap stuff but not the high end stuff either.

Thank you synchromesh that is the info I'm looking for.

Thank you noid, it will be for professional use, but not in a busy tire shop, just in a garage that does mechanic work and occasional tire installs and tpms sensor replacement. I will check out the Atlas.
