I recently purchased two used four post lifts - Advantage and Direct lift. Both nice but I will caution you if your space is tight - some four posts are larger than others ( base plates, width, length, height of posts etc).
The Advantage lift has the optional airjack so I can lift the car and remove all four wheels and although both made in China, the Advantage lift is constructed with much thicker / heavier steel and is reflected by 3x the cost of Direct lift when new. Both cable units non air for raising and lowering/ locking. Both came with drip pans and wheels to position in place. I do not have them bolted to the floor.
Buying used introduces the challenge of getting them moved. I had to disassemble one unit as its previous location had a garage door that was to small to get the lift out. Having a forklift or engine lift is ideal- unfortunately I did it the old fashioned way with one good friend and moving dolly's. Took us about 4+ hours to disassemble and load onto a trailer. another 3 hours to reassemble.
Lifts, specifically those made overseas are an item that when purchased new today will increase in price due to tariffs. Last time I looked, the advantage website had a statement to ignore the listed prices as tariffs were causing a price increase.
Happy with both of them
