Mountain Lift

Well.

My wife just suprised me with the fact that she was intending to purchase a lift for me as a combination present for my birthday and Xmas. The brand of lift she had been looking at is Mountain and it is model #MTN5590 and is buying for about $2,800.

Unfortunately it does not appear that there is much information out there regarding this model. Before I go back and say, I prefer a BendPak or something along those lines, does anyone know anything about these Mountain lifts? Any opinions regarding them? Searching the Internet, all I can find are a couple of pages that have an obviously badly translated review of and links that point you back to Amazon.

Thanks in advance. I am a deer in headlights right now as she sprung this on me and I feel bad telling her I want something different. At the same time I am very happy she let me in on it otherwise I may have been disappointed with the eventual purchase.

Thanks in advance.

I am confused as to why your wife is picking the brand and model at all?
She should just be extending the offer to buy you "a lift" for your BDay/Xmas, perhaps with a dollar cap where she's comfortable.

She was trying to be thoughtful and had spoken to others. She did realize she was out of her element and involved me so lets not make this about her but about the original question please. Thanks.

cant you get a well known name lift for that amount of money if not alittle more? even if the mountin lift is well made will you be able to get parts if you would ever need them? i would think when spending that kind of money on something i would get name brand.

BTW - Mountain is a private label brand made by Challenger. A nice product.

First I heard that and would be good news. Any place I could reference that?

Verified that Mountain is in fact rebranded Challenger lifts. Kudos to my wife, she did her homework and all is going to turn out well. At least in the future a search for Mountain and lift here will generate a result that shows the actual branding of this lift.
