I bought an All American Lift. Out of Kansas. Before I bought it, I drove to the place of manufacture (short 4 hour ride). The owner builds the lifts just like Backyard Buddy. Actually, he worked for the company that Backyard Buddy spun off of. Dont be fooled by the less than professional website of his. Thats because he is a metal bending and welding maniac. He is a perfectionist in his work. Small team of 3 or 4 good old boys building these things. Uses top grade steel, larger than normal cables. The locking mechanism on his lift is what sold me. If you are thinking of a Backyard Buddy, check out All American Lifts. Same thing, better price, and built by some long time metal workers with a LOT of pride in their work. Finish on the product is first rate. You will be very pleased.

Go with the big guys. They are big for a reason. And they are ALI certified, if that's important to you (and since you said safety is your first consideration, I assume it is).

I have a BendPak that I am very satisfied with. The safety features and exact size to fit my garage space sold me. BendPak is also tested and approved by the American Lift Institute. Check it out.

I did a lot of research. I would check on the Bend Pak as well.

I really like my direct lift pro park 8 plus, includes wheels, drip pans and jack tray. ALI certified. Great price $2195 plus I added the hydraulic jack for $ 500, someday hope to add another jack. Just need to learn how to use it.
