I have a deposit in hand

Anybody interested in a 4 post lift. Selling one of mine to get a bigger lift to handle trucks. Trucks are a little tight on this one.
It's a Autolifters M6 (8000 lb) They went under several years ago, but had one of the better lifts on the market.
Designed and manufactured along the lines of the Backyard Buddy with the crossbar ends wrapped around the post.
$1800

It's the Black and Red one on the right!

Where in NC are you? Gotta figure out how much transport and install would run!

I have two of the Autolifter's 4-post lifts for over ten years. Zero problems. Don't need a third one, but might give someone that is looking a thumbs up for the lift.

Both of my lifts have 3/4 horse motors, so can operate on a 110v 15 amp circuit.

I believe there is a mis spec in the OP's original post. My two lifts are M6's and are 6,000# lifts. The cables are rated way above that. If you see the construction of the ramps, and the construction of the way the crossbeams ride on the vertical post, and the locking pawl design, you will feel safer under a 6,000# M6 then another brand's 7,000# lift. Anyway, the heaviest of my four cars is 3250 pounds, so I'm not taxing the lift's capacity.

I need one of those

I was hoping you're more inland...Nice lift though!

I'll take a look at the info lable on the cross bar this evening. It's highly possible I wrote it down wrong.

We are going to put a lift in the new garage that will be built this fall and I was wondering why you picked a 4 post over a 2 post lift. We lean toward the 2 post because we also want to be able to work on the car in that space and felt that the posts in front might be in the way. Just curious if you felt there was a large enough reason to spend more for the 4 post and if there were other reasons other than its safer.

I didn't think I was seeing things, but you never know at my age!!

My M6 has a 1 horse motor and 8000 lb capacity!

Weird. Both of my lifts are M6, serial # 20257 and 22905, Both have Emerson Electric 3/4HP motors.

Autolifters made three models(at least at the time I purchased mine in Nov 2001 and July 2003)

1) M6 at 6,000# capacity with 13" ramp length 82" post height(over the top of the cable ends) and 5'3" under deck height.

2) M6Plus at 6,000# capacity but 12" wider, 24" longer(15' ramp length) and 6'4" under deck height vs the M6.

3) M80 at 8,000# capacity with 15' ramp length, 95" post height(over the top of cable ends).

The M6 and M6Plus has a 3" O.D. cylinder and the M80 has a 3.5" O.D. cylinder.

The M6 has a 8'6" Overall width over the feet and the M6Plus and the M80 is 9'6" Overall width over the feet.

The M6 has 18" wide ramps and is 6'5" width over them.

The M6Plus and the M80 have 24" width ramps and is 7'5" width over them.

It appears you might have the M80 instead of the M6 if your measurements are the same as the M80..

Even though I do use my lifts for maintenance on my cars, I selected the 4-post because I needed to get four cars in my two car garage that is 20' wide and 24' deep. I have a 56 vette and a 64 vette that I don't drive that often so I store them on top and I drive my 09 Z06 and my DD(4-door sedan, 54" height), under them.

In my case, storage usage is 95% and maintenance usage is 5%.

Strange. Your dimensions are the same as my M6(and also matches Autolifters catalog for the M6). What size cylinder does your lift have? 3" or 3.5 " O.D.

Your serial number(25703) is later then the one I purchased in 2003(22904), so maybe Autolifters, either changed the spec for the M6, or introduced a new model?????? Your 1 HP motor sounds as if they changed the spec of the M6 if it has the larger cylinder. Maybe one of those ...My lift's bigger then your lift......to combat the competition. After all, everyone else was advertising their lifts as 7,000 lb capacity.

Can you get center lifts for them?

I love my 2 post lift but chassis lifts are sometimes a PITA with Corvettes and lowered cars.

I could get a C5 on there but the shorter wheel base of the C6 almost made it not worth it.

But mine is 90 percent work, 10 percent storage so I need something that lifts at the lift points so I can work on the suspension.

My cylinder measures 3.5" with a 1" shaft.

Is it easly to disassemble??? Do you think it could be transported assembled on a open flat trailer?? If disassembled can two people move and reassemble???
