Times come, I am looking at putting a lift in my shop. I know there are similar threads on here, I’ve read through them and just not finding the info I need. I have ample floor space, my ceiling height is 12ft and a few inches. I would like at least a 10,000# lift as my K2500 may need to be lifted, loaded, at any time. Anyone have any success buying from ebay? Any installers on here looking for a job? How much should I be budgeting, I see them anywhere from $1800-3000 and I’m comfortable there. Any input is appreciated! Thanks Ryan Walker for your help thus far. ---

Forward clear floor versametric lift from Loomis Root. Tell the salemen Chuck you got referred and they’ll knock a few bucks off bolting the prick down. Come see mine any time. Mine was $2600 with tax, and $300 Cash to bolt down. ---

I bought a BendPak 10,000# assymetrical a couple years ago. I did a little research on various manufacturers before pulling the trigger, mostly for quality performance. I wanted something that wouldn’t fail lifting my F250 diesel. ---

Buy a Rotary. Hands down the best in quality and the last lift you will ever buy. Buy it once, buy quality you won’t regret. Go used if you have to. I can show first hand examples if needed. The off brand cheap ones are a roll of the dice. ---

I ended up going with the Forwardlift supplied by loomisroot. Total cost was around $3000, its a very nice versametric unit and fit in my 12ft ceiling garage perfectly! 10000#. Will have more once its wired and operational.

Same lift here, also installed by Jim at Loomis Root. Worth every penny to avoid laying on the cold ground. ---
