Re: 4 post lift

I went through this same discussion on the board at Ferrarichat.com, and was invited to see a few 4 post lifts that someone had installed side by side. The cheap lift was around $1800 and looked pretty shaky. The other one he had was a Backyard Buddy which was much better designed and built much better. The All American Lifts are made by former employees of Lift masters I think. Earl is a really nice guy that works there. I actually ordered one there and then cancelled the order the next day. ACLIFTS.com also makes a collar over post design called the AC07-Titan. It is priced in between the Backyard Buddy (most expensive) and the All american lift (least expensive). Brad Davies is the contact person at AClifts. The only downside that I read regarding the All American lifts is the finish is painted instead of powdercoated. As noted above, the two post is more common in commercial applications, but also is less stable when doing large component removal / installation.
