I have recently moved into my new house and shop and I need to get a lift. At my previous house/shop I had a 9k lb 4 post, but I ended up selling it to the house buyer. I had originally intended on getting another 4 post to put up in my new shop. The new lift would be a 12 or 14k.
At work I recently purchased a Rotary mobile column lift system for our mechanic. It is 4 wirelessly controlled columns rated for 14k each. It also has adapters (9k each capacity) that allow the columns to lift on the frame instead of the tires, thus allowing just 2 posts to lift a truck weighing 18k. I would absolutely love to have this system at home, although it costs close to $40k. Even buying two Rotary columns would still run me over $20k by the time I bought adapters as well.
I’ve looked around online for a lighter capacity column system and hopefully a lower price. I’ve seen a few, I believe China models, that I think were in the 13-$14k range. Just curious if anyone has any experience with any of the mobile column systems and if there are other options I’m not seeing. Thanks!
