I have never heard of them, since my garage is small I went with a scissor lift from Greg smiths equipment for working on the car. I am assuming you are looking for a four post lift primarily for storage.

Can't speak to the manufacturer but American- made is reassuring as long as the ETL and other safety and testing certifications are listed on their documentation for the lift. My Bend-Pak has these and has been rock solid since I bought it 6 years ago.

The company has been around since the late '40s. From their website information, it looks like they manufacture a variety of automotive/shop equipment. www.worthequipment.com/

They manufacture lifts with capacities from 6,000# to 100,000# for commercial vehicles. I did not find any reference to ALI/ETL independent certifications. Ask them about that. www.autolift.org/

Check with the BBB for history. Ask them for commercial references. They shouldn't have any issues with doing so.

My Bendpak HD9 is 8 years old and has worked flawlessly. I ordered the aluminum ramp option and they handle most cars perfectly. Definitely would recommend.

I agree Bend Pac makes a great lift. I brought 2 HD9, never got to install them and the just got destroyed in a field fire.
I have had one set up in my back yard in the elements for over 6 years. it has a little surface rust but still works great

I'm surprised nobody has mentioned Challenger Lifts yet. I have a 2 and 4 post from them, quality stuff and made in the USA. Priced a little more than Bendpak, but still competitive and worth the price for me.

I have had my 4 post direct lift now for 8 years with really no issues, works great and made a huge difference in my garage.
