What is a good 4 post storage lift to shop for?
I didnt see any prices listed for the backyard buddy. They look good too.
Also though, keep in mind backyard buddy lifts are not certified. They are made strictly for the DIY home hobbiest. Walk in most any automotive shop in the country and you seen Bend Pak or another common certified brand. Just food for thought.
The guy working on a lift with the weight being held only by pressure on the lines/ram..pure stupidity...this is the very cause of accidents that give all lifts no matter the brand a bad name for safety. I did plenty of research on these lift before making my purchase. Ultimately all the failures were human error..either in use, setup or failure to maintain and inspect periodically. Never but never enter the danger zone of a suspended lift without the safety locks engaged..never but never leave your lines and ram pressureized when load is stationary. Please use a bit of common sense and live to enjoy that ride you are building or repairing the family car so mums can go get the groceries. Another piece of advice..not all folks know the limits, use and operation of a lift...do not let just anyone use your toys...some do not know to ensure all locks are set before releasing pressure.
