6000lb capacity and it's portable.  doesnt have to be bolted to the floor.  not bad for $1500.

Thoes are really cool, but you can get a 2-post lift for the same amount (would be bolted to the floor though, but you can walk under it)

I have 2 twin post lifts.  unfortunatly the floors not thick enough or the ceiling high enough in the garage at the house im buying.

The midrise is the best option for me until I can build the garage i want.  I'm waiting for the bank to let me know about the property with the 13 acres.  but my wife and I found a house in Wolcott with 4 bedrooms, and a 2 car garage.  the midrise lift is all that will fit, but it still blows the fuck out of a floor jack and a creeper.

One could still reach quite a bit of the underside while raised.  I could have used that to do the brakes on my friends VW; would have saved 30+ min !

It'll be availible for use to friends... i can do full trans removals and stuff with it.  i have a really tall set of jackstands so after i lift it i can set it down on the stands and pretty much do anything i need to.
