Two post lifts
There’s been a couple of threads on lifts recently. These prices are very cheap on name brand lifts. You should due your research on the validity of the website.....Mark

Re: Two post lifts
I can't comment on 2 post lifts but I have had a Bend Pak drive on lift for about 5 years and the quality is good and I've had no problems to date. I assume their 2 post lifts are the same?

Re: Two post lifts
Prices look too good to be true. Maybe "economy of scale" is finally coming to the lift market. I notice that they have a bunch of 7000 lb lifts. In my opinion, this is all most home hobbyists need. I don't have or want) a 3/4 ton pickup and would have liked a 6000 lb lift if there was such a thing with the attendant savings. This is still almost a 100% margin for the stuff I have.

Re: Two post lifts
For what it is worth, I had a great experience with a Challenger 2-post lift. Have moved and had to sell her and NOW I know how great I had it! And my buddies miss it too! Great quality!

Re: Two post lifts
Gary....with prices like that, I think a little homework would be a good idea. You could do a search on google using the website name and “reviews “ in the search. Like others have said....if it sounds to good to be true....There are also YouTube videos on lift strength tests.
I’ve found a lift to be a very handy piece of equipment but some caution with which one to buy and using it needs to be done.......Mark
