Thanks -- I may give the Rotary guys a call to compare. They are made
here in Indiana.

The 12' ceiling really held me up for a while until I had an experienced
installer come and look at my space. Some lifts require that height for
the columns, but the Mohawk I have has shorter columns with overhead
hydraulic lines that are adjustable. I have 10.5' ceilings and can raise
any car
When I buy a lift it'll be a Wildfire 4 post. Watch the Vice Grip Garage
video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XgX8gSjy-KAMustie1 has one too, he
assembled it himself.
I like the idea of being able to move it around. I also like the idea of being
able to park a car under it and the fact that
And with a four post you might have enough height to stack cars. My brother
in-law’s neighbor has two of these in his three car garage. He keeps four cars
in those two bays - one on each lift, one parked below. You can’t have
something like an SUV, but I think he has Mustangs and Camaros.

A Mohawk lift is designed to work with low ceiling clearance. 10” will suffice
I believe. The other conventional two post lifts do require higher ceilings as
you mentioned. The slightly more budget friendly (and it’s not budget friendly)
7K Mohawk is no longer in production so you’re stuck
So what expense (ballpark) would I be looking at to put in a two-post
lift?
I am guessing it's not justified by the amount of work that I do, on the
other hand maybe I'd keep up on stuff better if it was less of a PITA to
actually do the work.
I do have a three-bay garage but ceiling is 10' and
And you always lift the car off the floor a few inches and go around and
give it a good push and rock to make sure it is not going to fall off
and turn you into Wile E Coyote

Allan,
Trial and error and some common sense!
I have a Mohawk asymmetrical lift and a balanced load isn't always obvious
due to the angle of the columns. But you can determine if you're heavy in
one direction or the other based on the load felt on some of the rollers.

If you can buy something now that's needed and durable, do so. This will not
end well.

When you use a two post lift how do you know where to place the lift
arms so the car is balanced?

Somewhat hard for everyday knickknacks but easy for bigger expensive items such
as a car lift. I ordered a Mohawk 2 post lift for my garage a few weeks ago.
100% made in the USA. Hugely expensive but I don’t care.

May not be worth your hourly rate, but stripping them will give better ROI to
my mind. Pahts is Dahllahs! Squished car is just $40/ton. Maybe it has gone
up more recently. Hard to tell, as the PnP down south of me is not turning
over inventory the way it was pre-plague. Carcasses sit for
Yep. It’s amazing how screwed up things are now.

Check the price of steel over the past 60 days. Steel has risen in price
over 150%. That, along with the price of fuel, which impacts ship fuel, and
road fuel, also, has impacted the end price of Chinese goods.

Why support China? Why risk your life under a Chinese lift?
Get a Rotary or a Mohawk.

I have been looking at cheap Chinese lifts
I have been looking at cheap Chinese lifts with good reviews over the last
month or so. I have been busy and not ordered one. I see now the prices are up
almost $500 from when I looked a couple of weeks ago. Wtf?
