$4500 will get you the Bendpak SP7X shipped. Better quality, better support. Maybe Everlift doesn't want the single orders anymore and is pricing accordingly.

cool, thanks for the info. now to go practice stacking dimes with my MIG so i can someday post some bead **** like you did. :)

nice shop. I am in the midst of planning a 25x36 myself to house my metal fab addictions. What is your ceiling height? What is the model of two post lift? Most is see need 12+ feet and I want at 10 foot ceiling so I can retain storage/office space on the second story. I might just go with...

Jack, here's a suggestion: Go get some HF locking casters and attach them to the bottom of your work table at the front of the garage. then you can easily roll it to where you are working or out of the way. I did it to my welding table and love the mobility.
