TCE vs Dominator vs Bendpak

[Ro_Ja Boy]

I just talked to a local lift distributor and they told me they've stopped installing Bendpak's for the time being because ever since they changed manufacturing (when they went from blue to grey), they've been having nothing but issues with them.

They said they sell a brand called Dominator Equipment (http://www.dominatorequipment.com/product/2-post-9k-dominator-lift-copy-2/) and recommended that.

They said they also have a couple of TCE (Torin Commercial Equipment: http://www.tcelifts.com/9-000-lb.-professional.html) lifts for sale that they bought as samples during SEMA.

I tried searching for both and couldn't find anything on here for Dominator and TCE is too short to search for. Anyone have insight into either or whether I should run and that the switch at Bendpak isn't an issue?

Thanks and sorry...I'm a newb with lifts.

Nevermind about the TCE. That appears to be way larger in size compared to the HD9, so wouldn't work anyway.

Im also looking at a 4 post hoist. What kind of price did they quote? If I may ask.

For the Dominator, they quoted me about $3,000 installed.

Anything more specific than "issues"? That covers a lot of ground.

Heard of Automotive Lift Institute, ALI? Buying a certified lift is a wise decision. You can search their database here: http://www.autolift.org/ali-directory-of-certified-lifts/certified-lift-search/

Oh, and thanks for posting..

Issues have been discussed here previously. Here are a couple threads.
