I have a direct lift, 8000 lb model and cost 2100 delivered and installed. I have a 11'6" ceiling so it works well for me.

I would be interested in a group buy, if anyone else is interested. As usual the most band for the buck, and I do not mind spending a little more if I get something for it.

Just saw the Prokar 4 post lift
 
I just saw the Prokar 4 post life at a Zepherhills Fall Auto show. The lift seems to be very well engineered. It does not require anchoring to the floor; the leg self-plumb. It has cable adjustments and lock height adjustments at each corner. It also has two locks on each post; one is manually operated and the other senses any slack in the cables and engages immediately.

The office is in Lakeland, Fl 866-602-0888

I'm thinking about buying one, as they are running a special that makes them not much more expensive than a comparable Kwiklift setup, and I think I can even squeeze a few more $$ out of them. It would be helpful to hear from anyone who has one before I pull the trigger.

Thanks!

I have one by that company, or a sister dealer.
Yes, made off-shore.
You will need some hydraulic fluid to make it work.

Larry,

That looks exactly like one I just put together in my Texas home. DX-7
sound familiar? 3 gallons of hydraulic fluid and it works great.

I just got off the phone with a rep for Bend Pak (USA made),
that I met at the SEMA Show. I told him some of the Club Cobra guys may call to inquire about the lifts and he said he would give the best pricing that he could to the CC members.

IMHO, standing and working under a Chinese lift is a risk I'm not willing to take just to save a few hundred dollars. If there's anything worth pay more to get quality it's for a car lift !!!

My friend has a bend pak. About 4 months ago, while raising it, a bolt holding one of the cables broke, and it fell several inches slamming onto one of the safety catch blocks, with the platform now leaning to one side. Got another bolt from bend pack and fixed it.

I was talking to another buddy, who told me that he and his friends had researched alot of lifts and decided that the ones built by

greg smith equipment

http://www.gregsmithequipment.com/

were the best for the money.

Thanks, everyone, for sharing your experience and opinions. Much appreciated.

Chuck,

Whichever lift you decide to go with, ....MAKE SURE TO USE TRUE GRADE 8 FASTENERS.

I purchased the Direct Lift, ProPark 7 from Greg Smith Equipment. Mostly likely the same units as the American Automotive lift and made off shore. I also ran around the house with scissors as a child and cheated death.

Came with drip trays, ramps, casters, and jack tray. I also purchased the 3500 hydraulic jack. It's a got-to-have.

How did the lift workout for you????Has anyone ever had a saftey lock break or fail? This lift does seem to be a good deal, esp. w/those optional rail jacks.

whichonetodrive 01-01-2009 05:05 PM

I have a American Custom Lift Model ACP-7 and have had NO PROBLEMS at all. http://www.aclifts.com/autolifts/4post.asp. I have not had any problems with the unit swaying or moving around. Just wish my ceiling was a bit higher. Believe me if I did not trust my lift I would not put my cobra under it.

sparks 01-01-2009 05:15 PM

Is that the round post lift ??? What r its negs ? What was cost w/ options?
