Standard Auto Lifts

[Fandango]

I'm shopping for four post lifts and came across these guys. Looks like a backyard buddy/advantage/wildfire lift, but they're based out of California. Does anyone know anything about them or have any experience with them?

I don't have any experience with these, but just doing a quick search for them, it appears the 9000# unit is the one similar to BYB/Advantage/Wildfire. However, I don't know about their pricing, so what I can see, it looks like they are inferior in some aspects to Advantage.

Their foot plates don't appear to be a 12"x12" plate, like Advantage. They also don't have covers over the latch assemblies on all four posts. The sliding jack tray slides on the rails rather than being a rolling jack tray. Again, it looks similar, but based on what I know of Advantage, I'd stick with what's tried and true.

Thanks, that's a good point. That's part of the reason I dismissed direct lift stuff, because they just used a lip to support the trays, jack plate, etc.
