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

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?

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.

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!

Mark, I see the website in your first post sells the 9000 lb Bendpack brand delivered to my shop for 1795.00 Hard to believe this is possible. Are you implying this could be a scam, not a legitimate business? Just wondering in case I get the urge.

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
