I purchased a Direct Lift 6 years back and have had no problems with it. It is very similar to the Bendex 4 post lift but was about a $1,000.00 less. Both are rated at 7,000 lbs. Parts are inter-changable if it ever needs to be serviced.

I paid +-$1,850.00 for it which included 4 roller casters, 2 metal ramps, a jack tray, and 3 plastic drip trays. I'm pretty sure there are a few lift companys competing with the Bendex and still have the 4 post lifts priced around $2,000.00. Direct Lift is made in the USA.

Good Luck, and the lift is one of the best garage tools I have purchased for car projects.

I puchased mine from Backyard Buddy. Great quality and made to order. My lift has 7 feet of clearance underneath when fully lifted. Plenty of room to park my truck underneath. It cost more than the Costco Chinese lifts but mine, unlike many others, is made in the USA and puts other guys to work.

+1 for Backyard Buddy, for all the same reasons as above.
