Mohawks seem to be pretty decent and use a lot of US made parts
as soon as I put ur car on the lift & hit the up button $45 is added to the bill. (same w/welder. To turn on the tank is 50$). However, along w/my 'put away tools at end of each job' I use this time to think abt the wrk just completed, my business, this customer, and my charge. I've taken a car off the lift, backed it out'n turned over the keys, charging -0- , as well (the 3 considerations).Oh and yeah the price jump from 10 to 12k is pretty significant because they're definitely stepping up to a different league....
...The extra cost for a 12k is soon forgotten if you plan to use the lift much.
Thats a pretty big advertising truck picture for a max load of 2500 per arm.How does this look?
BendPak XPR-10XLS High Rise Symmetric Two-Post Lift
The XPR-10XLS is a high-rise symmetric two-post lift by BendPak that is a must-have tool to help taller techs stand upright while they work.store.bendpak.com
I have no opinion on the arms because I never had a liftThats a pretty big advertising truck picture for a max load of 2500 per arm.
Not up on lifts but seems decent.
Do you want symmetrical asymmetrical?
Can you tell me why BendPak are nogo's ?I simply wouldn't buy a BendPak today.
My '11 CCLB F350 4x4 with 6.2 (gas) hits the scrap yard scales at ~8200 not including passengers, but that includes my truck box and tools I carry 100% of the time, which is mostly just basic hand tools, cordless impact, small floor jack etc
Mohawk just quoted me 11.2k for their system 1 lift. WhewMohawk is the BEST surface lift money can buy, In Ground....I'd say Rotary has had that market cornered for decades.

I reached out to Challenger and I'll see what they quote me.They're pricy but very well built, My next recommendation would be a Rotary if Mohawk is more than you want to spend.
Having said that.....I've used Bendpak lifts & really don't have anything negative to say about them, But they where older lifts & I haven't really kept up with them., Curious to see what D60 has to say?
Some times it comes down to a Good Distributor that takes care of you......That's why the last 2 lifts I've bought are Challengers.
I've called challenger 3 times and they don't call back if your distributor covers TN I would like to talk to him.They're pricy but very well built, My next recommendation would be a Rotary if Mohawk is more than you want to spend.

That’s what I did, got an ex-Costco 10K Challenger lift for $1800 installed from a local lift service company.There are lift dealers/installers in all large cities. Car dealers etc change out their worn lifts often. Lift dealers/installers often rebuild the lifts they remove and resale and install them.
We were enlarging our home shop so ordered the new lift from a local dealer/installer. They received it and held it until we were ready for it (months). We got the concrete/foundation specs. When construction got to the point where it was time for the lift, we called them, they delivered and installed it. $2800 delivered and installed in 2014 not including electrical and foundation work.
I've been a DIYer mechanic all my life. Having a lift took my game to the next level.
