There are a couple of things to keep in mind, one of which is safety which had already been mentioned. The other is ceiling height, the lift requires almost 12 feet of ceiling height. Another is installation, this lift weighed 1500 pounds and it is no small task to raise those columns safely. I used the front end loader on my tractor but even with that raising columns that weigh 600 pounds or so is a little nerve wracking.
I've often thought about getting a 4 post lift so that I could use the one the best suits the job I'm doing.

I bought a direct lift also. It was no problem lifting the columns with myself and my neighbor picking them up by hand. I used my cherry picker to lift them off the truck and to separate them.Monday I start drilling the anchors and wire it. I modified my trusses and went from 10 foot to 13 foot ceilings.
Next will be insulate and drywall.
