my dads gonna be building a shop in the next few months and i suggested he put in a lift. cause you know he's gonna be doing a bunch of automotive work on it (no he aint i want it) anyways we're looking at lifts and don't want to get a "junk" hoist. i have 6 at school not sure of the brand or the quality. what do you all think. need suggestions

thanks
dave

 

what's your dad's budget?

here's a 30 ton 4 post for only $40 grand

 

$2000-4000

he'd like to have a semi lift but its not in the budget
got it narrowed down to 2 post lifts and preferbably if he can find it he'd like american made.

 

welllllLLLLLLlLLLLLlL

harbor freight has a 4 post for 4 grand. that is all you will get on that budget

3500 for a 2 post.

 

No legs up there^ is he drinking? lolz....

4 grand is kinda cheap for a lift, I think

 

if you have the money get a rotary lift. They are great lifts. Thats what we have at the dealer I work at and at GRCC. Made in the US. http://www.toolsource.com/2post-surf...y-p-94554.html

 

My cousin got a rotary real cheap when a local dealership closed down.

 

I would love a lift in my garage! Instead I do this -->
Check your local business closings, and auctions (like http://www.auctionzip.com , etc. ) like mentioned above. Ya never know, you may get one for a good price.
