Guys, With the BP HD-9 am I assuming correctly that the ramps would need to be at the wide setting for cars such as Corvettes etc? I know that only one ramp is movable, but are you all having to change widths often to accommodate different vehicles? Thanks, John

Any updates? And, wondering if this is a fairly common occurrence. Do other brand of four post lifts have the hydraulic cylinder located in the same manner, under one of the ramps? Thanks.

I would be interested in seeing any solution to the possible drip problem with a vehicle parked under.

Is there an option to have a tray of some sort to prevent any seeping fluid from falling on a vehicle parked under the lift? I'm considering buying a BP lift, but I sure would hate for hydraulic fluid to drip on my car. :scared:

Re: Bandit's Part 3 "The Final Chapter". BendPak Lift & 2012 Garage Project Complete! Nicely done! I'm just getting ready to start the process. I know that must make you envious! ;) I'm getting a couple of quotes this week on the Liftmaster 3800 and raising the garage door (single 9' door)...

Thanks to all for the the replies. AKDIESEL, It's all good. I did not take offense, but wanted to keep the focus on the Air Bottle itself and not let the topic wonder about cost vs benefits of a compressor, mine is bigger than yours, yada, yada... :D KET-TEK, that's good to know. Thanks...

Hi there Red Bandit! YOU are partly to blame for getting me thinking of a Lift for my garage again, after discounting it a few months ago... I followed your saga, and read every thread. Still waiting for those pictures!!(yes, I saw the couple posted to the Air gun thread) Want more! :3gears...

Thanks for all the replies. James E, that's the kind of info that I was looking for, but not the results I was hoping. As you said, a great idea executed poorly. :wtf: I can't understand why, since my research shows BenPack releasing the Air Bottle solution back in 2009. You would think 3+...

OK... we are making progress. So it's a piece of **** that used to cost $80.00. BTW, I've been quoted more than double that amount to add it to a new lift today. Would anybody that has one, or had one, care to be more specific?. Does it do the job or not? And if not why? :dunno:

I appreciate your concern regarding my finances, but my question was specific to using the Air Bottle option on the BendPack lift. I have a good 110V compressor to take care of tire inflation which suits my needs.

I am thinking about buying the model HD-9 for my garage. I do not currently have an air compressor nor do I need one as I mostly want to be able to accommodate two cars on my single garage (three car attached garage) and the only work I plan to do is simple oil changes. I would appreciate...

"These models are configured as high (82”) rise with short length runways. They feature a pull-block system that allows for a shorter stroke cylinder equipped to fit in the shorter length runways. Structurally, all components (except for the cylinder and pull block) are identical to our 9K lift...

Thanks HIRISC! I have seen, and appreciated your pictures before. I made it thru the various threads started by the Bandit...whew! Debating whether to get the standard HD-9, or go for the new "M", which would be a better fit in my single garage, but perhaps not as easy to fit the Vette in and...

Just joined from S.C. Was looking for info on four post lifts for my garage. Great knowledgeable folks here. Glad I found it! John :bowdown:

OK Bandit! Where are the pictures with the car ON the lift? Getting ready to order mine to fit a 427 Convertible (wide body). Thanks. John. :)
