Bucky, Which two post did you go with.

Thanks

I bought an Ammco from a fella whose shop had not lasted long. Have had it quite a while. Only one problem I have had and that is the wear blocks wearing. It's a PITA to replace them.

Rob,
What brand did you buy?

Both of mine have been Rotary brand. Same deal, friends with shops had them and spoke highly of them.

One other thing to think about with two posts is whether to get symmetrical or asymmetrical. It is whether the posts are turned to allow car doors to open past them. I went with symmetrical because I knew I would put heavy trucks on them and wanted them to be more balanced.

No matter what 2 post lift you buy, consider purchasing a pair of under hoist screw jacks to stabilize the vehicle when necessary. They also aid in supporting parts under the vehicle during disassembly.

Good advice

I have 3 Rotary's that have been in use since i bought them back in 2000. I haven't had any issues with any of them. Funny thing is i bought the first one to put in my garage at home and within two weeks of buying it i opened a repair shop. Next thing i know it is 20 years later. Well there hell did all that time go?

It comes in red, blue or black if it matters.

After reading Covey's suggestion on 4 post with wheels I need to look into that.

Thanks for the info.

That Weaver looks identical to my two Fowards

The cage is a re-branded Rotary or Forward. I don't know for sure about the hydraulics, or the lift certification. But it looks Identical to my Forward 10k lift or in other words a Rotary.
