Which 2 post lift?

I'm looking to put a 2 post lift in my garage. I have a megacab 3500 dually, couple of cars and rock crawlers. I'm not going to be lifting the megacab all the time. I have been looking and I like the bendapak 10k Tru-Metric . Just wandering what yall might be using or know what is best...

I would say that would do just fine! Most lifts are rated at half of true lifting capacity for safety reasons and liability. Just make sure your concrete foundation is up to the task. Each manufacture has their own requirements so I would double check with them.

Bendpack is a good name, I would be hesitant to trust a Mega Dually on anyones 10K lift.

When I had my Brownie on an ALM 9K lift, it was a wobbly gobblin, and ALM made a heck of a lift.......

You may want to look at a 12-14K...

Send it up here. I'll pay the shipping. I have a new garage waiting for that.
You can use it whenever you like.

Nice lift!

Nice lift!
Thx!!
I'm thinking about rerouting the hydrolic lines to the ceiling. The floor plate for that one is humped up for the lines to run though to the other side. I don't really want that hump in the floor so I'll have to look into modifying it when we get it installed.
