Ready to pull the trigger on a Rotary SPO10 lift. Have settled on the Rotary symmetrical since I'll be lifting primarily 60's framed cars ( GTOs) and also my 2011 F250 crew cab. Expect that I'll be occassionally lifting newer unibody cars for family though. I was ready to go for the TA model, which includes truck frame adaptors and extensions, for the truck and GTOs. Don't want to scratch up the frames on the restored GTOs. The 3 stage front and and rear arms seemed to offer versatility, esp. with newer vehicles (will also get the round pad adaptors for unibody). My bay is on the tight side ( just under 12' wide, wall on one side, open on other side) , so thought the 3 stage arms would make it easier to load different size vehicles.
Rethinking whether I should just get the standard flip up adaptor model, as a new one just popped up for sale for a few hundred under typical cost. Drawbacks seem to be that you don't get the front 3 stage arms, may still need to buy higher adaptors for the F250 and may need a padded adaptor for the restored cars.
I'm probably over thinking this, could save some $, but in the end, I'd rather have the what I need and the versatility in a tight bay.
What have been your experiences with the 3 stage arms, TA adaptors vs. flip up.
Thanks!
