You say you want symmetric. Don't limit yourself. You might want a bi-symmetric. I just got an asymmetric Tuxedo 11 k, TP-11 KC-DX and installed it. It is almost 12' wide to the outside of the posts and is just over 12 feet tall. Since you specifically want to have the bottom of your lift arms above 74", you will need an extended height. A little harder to get, but they certainly are out there. Usually, if the vehicle is lifted to your height plus some, it is a bit of a reach getting to things. I am commenting here to give some general info I got that is hard sometimes to get. Most lifts will be right at about 71" lift height. It is because they try to standardize parts like the cylinders. Chain drive over cylinder is solid technology, but new ones are often coming out with direct drive cylinders. They mount the cylinders upside down (which is better for seals) and the cylinder pulls rather than pushing. It's why the rod in the cylinder is half the size. All the good ones only take 230 vac, not 110. Chinese lifts. That's quite a subject. If you don't buy a Challenger or a Mowhawk you are probably looking at something made in china. Beyond that, there are the "Chinesium" lifts--they are the ones that you can get from direct sellers like HK or Katool or maybe ME that only cost about 2 grand. I don't recommend these if you can get something better. I would only get a Chinese lift if it carried an American company name and had real guys in the USA handling everything. I didn't see a justification for an ALI rated lift for my home needs. A lot of guys will do what I did and try to find all this information on the internet which is hard to do actually. You just don't get much information to compare and it is hard to find a showroom with one assembled. There is a place in Indiana, though. There just aren't going to be really good technical service advisors or anyone who will give info on anything. Talk about modifying a lift and all the ALI rated lift guys will just hang up. You might try to "buy up" to a higher weight rating to imitate safety in a heavier design. That's doable too. Other things to consider are the stack adapters and truck adapters you might need. Concrete conditions: Whew! That's a big one. I won't even go there because the subject is too deep. I went with Hilti HIS internally threaded epoxy anchors and it cost me a grand to do. I still think this is the way to go if you don't trust your concrete due to microcracks. They all ship by the same company and that is a funny part. LTL shipping will bring it to your commercial address only. If not, ship it to a terminal where you can pick it up in a trailer. In no way will they let you unstack it and unload it by hand. A really small tractor can't unload them either. They are usually loaded where they have to be picked up from the long end. I thought I had everything set. A business friend with a big forklift would unload it if I was present. Well, the shipper didn't call and my friend wasn't happy that I didn't call ahead, but I got it. I'm sure you have read a lot. I am just trying to describe the unusual way these things are marketed so you don't have to, I guess.
