i have both a two post assymetrical ROTARY LIFT hoist and a 4 post STINGER hoist in my garage. each serves its purpose, but the 4 poster is better for low slung cars, side pipes etc. With the Stinger 'jacking tray' option you can still jack the car up to pull wheels/tires etc. I have seen delivery trailers with the Stinger hoists mounted inside too. i have had the 2 poster since 1994 and the 4 poster since 1999 and no problems with either . There are many advantages to a 4 poster over a 2 poster (4 poster does not need to be bolted to floor, can be moved on portable wheels with a car on it, can use 110 or 220, does not require thicker concrete floor depths,column heights are much less so not as much ceiling ht needed and more). If you are getting just one hoist primarily for a Cobra, I would recommend a 4 poster . Bill
