Mine came from Gary Bloom Sales in Canton, MA. It is rated at 8000 lbs. He is a local lift distributor/installer/servicer. He sells most of the big name brands like BendPak, Rotary, Challenger, etc. Mine is his house brand, Quality, I am quite sure it was made off shore but he stands behind it and I have not had any issues in the 10 years I have had it. Only thing I would do different if buying another is get the 220v motor upgrade, I underestimated how nice it is to have something that will go from the floor to the ceiling in a minute.[MENTION=12702]dgc333[/MENTION], what brand is your lift. I have been looking at one made by Auto Lift Manufacturing. I know that Bandpac is the one most recommended, but they tend to be a little more pricey. Do you have any recommendations?
If you buy new, they are expensive as hell. I can't see how they justify the price. I got mine with the trolley jack, drip pans, aluminum ramps, and installation for 3k less than a comparable backyard buddy without options or installation. Bendpak is a good name as well. Not knocking Backyard Buddy as they look quality as well but for the price I just don't see it.i have a 4-Post Backyard Buddy in my garage, definitely nice. http://backyardbuddy.com/?utm_sourc...MIsL2aydri2wIVRLjACh1uFAHoEAAYASAAEgJU8PD_BwE
