Milodon 2-Post Asymmetrical Lift

[Craig Balzer]

Looking for a 2-Post Asymmetrical Lift for my garage and came across a shop that is downsizing. They are selling their 9,000 lb Milodon 2-Post Asymmetrical Lift.

It looks amazingly stout but I can find nothing on the web about it. All searches on Google deal with Chevy engine parts.

Anyone familiar with this lift??

Pretty sure someone just slappped a Milodon sticker on that lift from an oil pan or whatever item they bought. Don’t think Milodon is the maker of that lift.

$3000 for a used lift?

Pretty sure lift is a Challenger. Most likely a model 39000 since looks identical to mine except mine is blue. Otherwise identical. $3k is pretty high. I gave $1800 for mine at auction which was probably little high at that price but was like new.

Contacted a guy today on a Rotary lift, he also sells Forward lifts, both are owned by the same company, Rotary is USA and Forward is oversea's but both have ALI approval. I'd never heard of Forward.

Black -- thanks. That makes a lot of sense.
Appreciate the insight and comments -- Craig

I recently bought two Challenger/VBM lifts for $1,200. Sold the 5,500 lb (27000) for $500 and installed the 7,000lb (31000) in my shop. Both were made in early 90’s and are way heavier than newer lifts, especially the Chinese models.
