I have had this one for 5 years. 10,000 lbs, if it fits in the door I can pick it up.

Thanks in advance!
The wrap around posts are certainly stronger. My lift doesn’t move at all being loaded. Quite sturdy indeed.

Thanks, have been watching a bunch of videos on YouTube, which is awesome research. Here’s hoping there are some Black Friday sales on these.

If you can run a 240v circuit get it over the 120v.
get the xl ( wide) version of whatever 4 post you get, standard version barely fits a c8 stingray and a Z06 is most likely a no go

Well I figure I should confess! I bought a Quick Jack and used it for the 1st time today. I'm happy with my choice, even if it does become temporary. It worked like a charm and was powered through 3-100 ft outdoor extension cords from my house to my shop!

Nice that you found a solution that works. There are so many choices and options. I feel like I am zeroing in on Advantage. Fingers crossed. 🤞

I keep saying I’m going to get one. Now I have a 10’ ceiling so I think I can get a 4 post in. My panel will be right next to the lift so power is not an issue. Will need to have my garage door mounted differently so it goes closer to the ceiling.
