Single Post Lift - Any Owners or Opinions?
I've read a lot about 2 and 4 posts. I have a general handle on the +'s and -'s. Has anyone here bought, seen, or seriously looked into this type of single post? The pics below are from Gemini Auto Lifts. I also found a Bend Pak (best I can infer from this website) at Auto Lift Shop....http://www.e-autolifts.com/pl/pl.html
My main purpose is for storage and the lack of posts on one side would be very advantageous. Any input is appreciated. Thanks. Mike

I know someone that has one and they like it. Doesn't take up much room and is relatvely simple to install

One of the nicest I've seen was the Bend Pak below. Mr. Ponder had 2 of them, this one even has lights mounted below the overhead "tray" that sure would make work alot easier. I wish I had bought one of the 2 that he had at the auction, they are beautiful.

Any of these single posts use the arms instead of drive-on type? Drive-on is great for storage, but arms are better for service.

James,
where within the link did you find a price, I've asked how much he spent and he wouldn't tell me. Never bothered to call the company to ask.

Recycling an old thread to gain some more feedback as I'm considering one of these.

That was about 3 years ago, I don't know what, if anything has changed, since that conversation. |
