Re: 4 post lift

Ron -

I have one of the AC lifts from Brad (ACP-7000) with 220 volt motor. Got it a few years back, and had them install it since they were somewhat local. He was going to do a demo unit that was for a trade show, but he ended up giving it up at the show, so he did a good price for the lift and install. I did like the round posts with internal slides. It also does come with nice aluminum ramps. One other thing is that he would make the lift most any dimension, so if I wanted it a different length or width he said he could do it without any problem.

Doing suspension work is not a problem as you can get a heavy steel slider the fits between the rails for jacks and such. I think they are available for most that I looked at. I also got the floor rollers for it which I don't think I will ever use.

I have not bolted my lift down, but still may do so as it does wobble when raising it up, but that is just me being over cautious.

I looked at the 2 post ones and for anything less then the heavy duty commercial units just gave me an uneasy feeling. I had the cement poured in the garage with high strength and extra thick to support what ever I put in, but the 4 posters seemed better for the home garage.

Not sure if late to the thread, but that is what I have.
