If you have any questions on the BendPak line let us know. We have sold most of the lifts offered by BendPak, and can help with the lift decision. We can also see about putting you in contact with some other owners to get you their feedback.
We do our best to take care of the forum members!

Hey Joe,
I'm with you in the fact that any lift is better then no lift at all.
I too had a low ceiling in our garage. I went back to the engineer who engineered the trusses and determined a resolve that worked where I didn't have to pull off the trusses and the roof.
Obviously, I did pull off the sheetrock on the ceiling, added struts and engineered scabbards which consisted of three sheets of plywood per truss.
It was a bit of costs involved, but the payoff in the end was well worth it!
And although, there are limitations to the 4 post, it's still far greater then anything I have worked with before.
I simply do not wish to lay on concrete anymore!

However, its not good for anything but old Corvettes; anything over 50" high is a problem and its too narrow for my Tundra - but what the heck. My 3 car garage is now a 4 car garage for under $2,000.

I hate to necro-bump but I have one of the Eagle SL-6000 lifts and I love it. I cannot for the life of me find any information on it from Eagle or any online sources.
Anyone have any leads on info or service parts?

I squeaked my 4-poster into my garage with minimal drama....just had to move the garage door opener from the middle of the door to the edge and bend its tracks up about 4"...

What’s your ceiling height? Looks great!

I have the 6XP 6,000 lb scissor lift set down in a old "Quick Lift" system that combined does work well for me...
The Problem with the scissor lift is that it restricts access to the underside center of the car....
In that case I will roll out the Bendpack and use the Quick lift for center front to back access to the drive train, exhaust, differential, ect.....
PM me for any questions.....And it's in my garage not out on the driveway where everyone can see me making all the mistakes that I make, working on these cars.....
