I recommend Rotary lifts. I looked last year and saw lots of imported steel and really felt queezy about climbing under some "budget lifts".

Rotary is made in the USA (Part of Otis Elevator I think) and their installers are trained to know the proper way to install a lift. Some would bolt a lift to a 2" slab but rotary will not. They will not sell you a lift until they checked to see the floor can support it...that's what sold me on them. Just my $0.02.

You might save $1000 or so by buying some chinese made lift, but when it falls on you how will you spend your savings?

I think I paid $3200 installed for a 7,000 lb asymmetrical 2 post lift, and, I needed to have 2 footings poured special to support it because my floor slab was only 3" thick. Now I have 6" footings and it ain't going anywhere. The price did not include the floor work, BTW.
