Well..I pulled the trigger today...BendPak Lift

[sweetk30]

for my years in the shop world i can say 10k does it . but the last 4-5 years they had got a few new lifts and 1 was a 12k 2 post rotory and that was the ticket for sure . this lift when we were assembling it was able to be done 2 ways . std width or wide for hummers and big suv needs . but that was only untill you bolted it down then it was what you set it up for .

if i had to do it again and had the room it would be rotory 12k .

my current goal is to do a new mohawk lift like this guy here https://mohawklifts.com/automotive-lifts/2-post-lifts/model-lc-12/

After cutting holes and putting in heavier than required footings I got the XPR-10A (asymmetric). It handles my Duramax crew cab on 33s just fine, and has a full size suburban on it at the moment. It never complains.

How do secure the 4 post version to the floor? Or does it not need to be secured?

some do some don't depends on build style and its use .

storage ones a lot of times are free floating . but one you use every day is bolt down . plate on the bottom of the legs has 4 bolt holes . use concrete wedge bolts to lock it down .

I have a 10000 rotary asymmetric and it lifts my duramax crewman longbed utility body full of tools. It won't quite lift if it if transfer tank has 100 gals of fuel. I did find that if it is too far back it will not lift. The drivers door has to be past the post. I haven't weighed the truck. But I am positive it is above 10000 lbs.

House around the corner from me went on the market few weeks back. It had a shop so of course I had to go check it out during open house. Had an old '60somethin Chevy C10 and two jags. The classic jag was up on a lift like that. Very nice.

Edit:Oh and that house sold in 2 days

That would be nice for my C trucks and the wife's van.
