2 post lift help

[spideytech]

Been lurking for a while. Finally have built myself a 24x36 garage with 10' ceilings. Anyways I have been looking and reading on 2 post lifts for a month now and with my 2k budget I am curious which you guys would recommend or if you know of any pros and cons on them.

Titan HD2P-9000AFE Elite 2-Post Lift
Weaver W-9F 2 Post Lift
Eagle MTP-9F Mechanix 2 Post Lift

Do you guys have any thoughts on these or recommend another?

Thanks

I would like to know the answer to this as well.
Looking for a lift with the same budget.

The other one on my list though is the Atlas 9KBP from Greg Smith Equipment.

I prefer Rotary or Challenger.

Challenger CL10V3..mine is arriving on weds. I would stay away from greg smith

I have an Atlas 9kBP and love it. Works well for everything I do.

I have read it on several different threads and on a couple of sites about staying away from Greg Smith. Can someone explain the reasons for this? Thanks

I bought a PV10 2 post from GSE, use it almost daily, have not had any problems. Best $2195 dollars I ever spent. So then I have purchased more equipment from GSE and have been extremely satisfied.

Maybe the people having problems its just "them"

I bought from them and was well pleased, You can't satisfy everyone.

I also bought mine from GSE.... no issues for me (or my lift!)

Just seeing if any one has any input, good or bad, on these lifts?

If you're looking for a cheap china lift I'd go with an Atlas from Greg Smith Equipment, I don't own one, but I've seen countless threads/posts of satisfied members.

To answer the OP's original question of the three you listed the only one I have seen personally and can give any input on is the Weaver. It looks to be a very good solid lift for the money.

The problem isn't the lift, its the only 10 foot ceiling. Unless you're only 4 foot tall, working under it is going to be a problem. I also don't like the channel on the ground. Sometimes you are going to have to push a car on to the lift, the channel poses a problem. I have an "Aresco"

I am looking at a Challenger, same model as yours. It will be a bit before I can buy one, but I am trying to design a garage, and want it to fit a lift. It will be the most expensive and last big tool I ever buy. How well would that lift work for an F-250 four door 8ft bed, an old type one VW, a Mazda cx-9, and a Buick Lesabre? The truck is easily 7500 pounds, so I was also worried about the 10K rating. What is your experiencewith it by now?

Not sure if $700.00 would make me switch to lesser brand.

Challenger $2795.00 - $3500.00 Delivered
Bendpak $2895.00 Delivered
Rotary $3500 - $5500.00 Delivered

these are good comparisons
