I have an "american lift" two post 11,000 pound that works very well, Not difficult to install as long as you have the concrete to hold it. I think it was 5 inches of 2,000 psi or four of 5,000 psi was recomended. It's somewhat adjustable for height. My building is 14 feet at the peak but I think 12 at the corners of the lift. It will adjust shorter a little.

Here are some photos of our lift. We love it. Extra wide extra tall. Don't skimp out on size, but also don't over pay for a name. We have picked up 28' boats as well as golf carts on this lift. I especially like the ability to pick up and be supported by either the frame or tires. We bought from Greg smith equipment Good luck Al

As in most every purchase, the cheap CHINA made lift usually wins out. Why? Cause of the cheap price. And it seems price overrules anything else.

My older brother had a great shop in Santa Cruz, CA. Comprehensive Mechanics. They used Rotary's; man were they nice! On another note, there are usually a couple to be found locally on Craigslist.
