Two post lift suggestions/discussion

[69MyWay]

I have just turned the corner on the overhaul of my detached workshop and am starting to set my sites on wrapping it up. One of the last things I want to do is install a two post lift on the far side. I realize the affordable ones (even with the name "AMERICAN") are all made in China now.

However, I'd like to hear some discussions on what two post lifts work well - might work well - +/- etc.

I have 9.5 tall ceilings out there, which is just enough to squeeze most of the home style lifts in place. I need it strong enough to work, but low enought/light duty enough to slip under very low slung cars. I do not intend on using it to hold a car and park one under it. If that were my goal, I'd put a four post in the attached house garage.

I have never owned one - and it seems to defy logic that only TWO posts bolted to the slab are safe and secure enough to hold a car under load.

THANKS!
