A few months ago I pulled the trigger and got a lift. I did some searching around includeing here (GJ) didn't find a whole lot of info. I ended up comeing across http://www.gregsmithequipment.com/ pretty cool site, lots of info and videos. I call them up and talk to Greg ( real cool guy) He point me to the Altas pv 10 2 post lift. I went to the site a check it out and watch the video . A few days later I order it up. Shipping took 2 days and by the weekend I had it set up. I had alittle snag with the safty lock cable the manual skip this part. called the tech line and they called me back about 2 hours later a walked me throught it. the next problem was when I would lower the lift fuild would run out the fill cap on the reservoir. I filled the fuild like the book said and to the full line. I called the tech line like 3 or 4 times and left my name and # no return calls. that was over a 3 days. so I called http://www.directlift.com/ that was the name on the the lift. It said nothing about atlas pv 10, like I thought I had order. No big deal. Anyway the tech guys at direct lift are 2nd to none!! Very helpful. they sent out a new improve tank with a lip under the fill cap . No more hyd. running out of the tank
If I had to do over I think I would skip the middle man. Nothing against greg smith he was Alot of help in picking out a lift but, not get an atlas lift like I order and no serial # on the lift .o yeah the tech help being zhitty. I would go staight to direct lift.

All in all I 'am very happy with the lift. I just wish I would have bought one years ago. If your on the fence.... DO IT. It's just money

Hey, it is a local guy!

I am having a Pro 9D installed on Friday. Your column to ceiling distance looks pretty tight. My ceiling is 144" (12') from the floor and the installers said that will be fine.

After looking at your pictures I think I am really going to enjoy my beer watching the guys get the columns in place.
