Hmmm..... guess we could use an American built in ground lift, but then we could count on it being cheaply built, over size, over weight, and being a step behind technology-wise. Oh, and it would probably last about 100 lifts, then need to be traded in on the new model.
I have one of those Rotary SmartLifts, and love it. For the uniformed, it's not cheaply built, and I sure wouldn't want it any lighter when I'm standing under my 8000 lb Excursion. Oh, and it's worked flawlessly for six years.
