I think that there is probably an engineering reason for why post height must be increased to accommodate a taller max lifting height...which is probably why the ETL certified lifts have 100" posts and the non-certified doesn't. If I were you, I would just determine which I want to deal with...

Yeah, gotta say these look like car show rooms, not garages. Garage for me has a significantly different definition--it isn't just "where the cars are." When a car's parked on a street...doesn't become a garage. When your neighbor drunkenly rams his corvette into his ex-wife's living room...

How can you get a "deal" going factory-direct and still have it be "more expensive"?? :wtf: And which competitor lifts do they compare to? Are we talking like a low-level DirectLift straight off the boat from China or like a BendPak or Mohawk? Be wary of advertising...it's all about how you...

Holy Cow!!! :eek: That's an incredible amount of heavy machinery in one place. You even have a Ranger tire changer and wheel balancer! :bowdown: I bow before your vast empire of automotive superiority.

Saw this in my October Hemmings. It has a whole bunch of useful info. www.astudyinliftdesign.com If you want to know about 4-posts go here. A little less than half way down the page they start in on the technical details: http://www.astudyinliftdesign.com/four-post-lift-design.html They also...

I would say you are best off just logging off and turning off the monitor--if you don't mind sucking the electricity while your not around. Keep the fans turning and the hardware cooking and any temperature changes ought to be gradual enough with enough air flowing through that condensation...

It looks a lot like one of these ( http://www.bendpak.com/bendpak-products/specialty-lifts/PCL-16HD-4.aspx ) Portable 4-post lifting system, but just one column slightly modified to lift a passenger vehicle.

Agreed. Put it on YouTube or it NEVER HAPPENED. :thumbup:

Haha, that poor long suffering woman. At least she's allowed to sit.

Looks nice and safe. Niiiiiiiiice and safe.

Hey Jeff, why didn't you tell us you had PICTURES of this thing?! :drool: http://www.bendpak.com/blog/bendpak-air-lock-system/

:headscrat Uhh...well, if I was rolling in dough and could afford absolutely anything I might consider a rotary screw compressor. But for normal home-garage type applications, you're probably better off with one of their Trimaxes instead...

A bunch of us were trying to win http://www.garagejournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=42225&highlight=ranger a little while ago. The winner seems pretty jazzed about it.

For your next trick, are you going to sand a sander?

Don't you love it when shop people think they know what you want better than you? Gaaaah!

Ouch!!!!!!!!!

I feel better about a certified lift. Does that mean a lift will never, ever fail? Course not. It does mean that some sort of minimum standard was set and met. And it means that more eyes than just the manufacturer's and distributor's has been on the design. That's it. On the other hand, if the...

Very true. Hope that works out for them.

He seems to also be the owner of Defiant Sales Consulting. "Harnessing the aggression that markets react to" Check out the extra-sweet dagger at the top of the page: http://www.defiantsales.com/ :rocker: He's also got a pretty excellent, night-vision green video that's good for a few chuckles...

That thing is GIGANTIC. Very impressive!
