For anyone interested, I've had Pferd files in my Amazon cart for a while. Price dropped by about $20 this morning so I pulled the trigger.
Pferd 542WR250H2 $55.14 from Amazon UK so it might take a little longer to ship, but worth the cost IMO
I think everyone covered the air requirements question, but my recommendation is to consider buying 2. Gives the benefits of a 4 poster with most of the benefits of a 2 post lift.
I have the one pictured in this thread - just make sure you understand what you are buying. It will only fit wide mouth bottles and I don't find it to work particularly well. I have bought a few of these type of transfer pumps and most have found their way to the trash.
I finally ended up...
I recently had a 240v twist lock receptacle put into my ceiling with about 35 feet of run from my basement to my garage - 10/2 romex - at a cost of $1k. I would say your quote sounds extremely good to me. I am in Maryland and this was going with the mid priced quote I received.
These are OK, but the tops are kind of flimsy. They do not take to stacking well. I bought about 2 dozen of these when I moved to store various garage items in. I stacked some 2 high and others 3 high. About a third of the tops are cracked now. To be fair, at this price, perhaps that is...
