Default Mid Rise Lift?

Anyone heard of or used a mid rise lift from American Automotive Equipment. I got an email from them today for a 6000 lb lift for $1045.00

No it's made off shore like all the rest of the mid rise lifts.
I bought one last year and the only complaint I had was the arms were to short.
So myself and another member on the forum who also bought one got together with the owner of the company and they made arms the correct length.
So be sure you let them know your lifting a C5.
So far I've had a Trailblazer, 2005 GTO, 2006 G6, and my C5 on it and it worked perfectly.
In fact I just finished doing H/C on the C5 so it did get a workout.

So corvettebob you bought one of these lifts and it works good, just need to make sure to get the longer arms correct. If that is the case I may need to try this out.

Thanks,
Russell

Why not double-down and get a full on 2-post life like I did?

That would be great if I had the room, but my garage isn't quite big enough and I can't understand why but my wife insists on parking in there also............

Do you have any problem getting the arms under the C5 without driving up on boards? Thanks for any info you can share. Tom

Jump1979man, Just tell them your using it to lift a C5.

T-top Tom, Yes you will have to drive up on 2X12's I use 2 on each side.
I don't think there is any mid rise lift that will clear a C5, in fact all the side by side's I looked at had the same issue.
One of the nice things is it's portable so when not in use I park on top of it, when I need to use it I move it over so I have room to work on all sides.
