Default Drakester's Man Cave gets a lift
The lift is from Eagle Equipment Company (Mfg in China, assembled in US) a local Greensboro, NC Company. The installer lives about a mile from me! Motor is on a 220VAC circuit. Good price - $2297 delivered and installed including Hyd Oil. the 220 circuit was an additional $275 and $30 worth of plugs from Home Depot. I'm out the door for $2602. Not bad.....

Yeah, and prolly more of it. I didn't even try to put the Corvette on the lift because of the ice behind it. The installer put his Explorer on the lift to adjust it. I don't really plan to park on it anyway.

Is that the glo-7000 or glo-8000? I live near Charlotte and was considering a eagle lift but had not heard of many people buying them.

Notice the ice behind the garage... Not going to try and drive up a ramp with the rear wheels on that crap!

Actually, I will rarely park on it. Going to use it for maintenance. That is unless I find me a track car!

Congrats John

I just bought one too, but won't be installing it untill late March, early April. Way too much ice and snow up here to go along with artic temps.
