A tire shop franchise in the Chicago area uses a stouter version of this design that uses a pair of air cylinders to provide the lift. The shop near me likes it for summer use in the parking lot. But they are only doing tires & flat repairs. IIRC they paid about $3500 for it from the vendor (I think it was 4500#). A good new 8000#, domestic built, staggered two post lift runs about the same or more. The off shore stuff that is somewhat lighter duty can be had for around $2000. I picked up an older used two post 8K# lift for $750 & some sweat. I bought it as part of a package when a shop was closing. I had to buy all the lifts & remove them, all in one day. If you google auto lifts you will find lots of domestic vendors of DIY and Pro grade lifts for reasonable $$.
