Any recommendations? 24x28 garage with ten foot ceiling. I do not trust the concrete floor to install a two post lift, wasn’t Reinforced when garage was constructed. So the four post lift is really the only option for me.
 
I have a rotory revelution 4 post lift, almost 5 years now. No problems, couldn't live without it
 
advantage brand 9000lb. could not be happier

I’ve used rotary brand where I used to work, they make reliable equipment and I felt safe under it.
 
Where are you guys finding the best place to buy these 4 post lifts?

One of the biggest reasons I went with Direct Lift for mine is having a local distributor that stocks lifts and parts. If I need a part its local. I called them on Wednesday morning and they delivered and installed it on Friday.
 
Buy a certified lift. You can always mount the two post on heavy plate to spread the point load. I think they only require 4" standard strength concrete iirc...

I know locally, with Our Nation's current status, a lot of smaller shops, especially the one's owned by older guys, like us, are deciding to call it quits. I've been looking around to pick up a decent used 4-post lift for storage, and easy maintenance jobs. Check your area's Craig's list, or other media sale platforms, and ask around. I found my Bend Pac in a facility that built and did research for a radiator company, that was re-locating back to their Home State. It was just about brand new, and less than 1/2 the price, to much work and cost to ship it back...
 
How about the triumph brand? I see them advertised a lot.
 
I was considering wildfire.
YouTube Vice Grip Garage has a video. Looks like it is made in the USA.

advantage and wildfire are identical except for color and ramps. the advantage has aluminum ramps whereas the wildfires have steel.
 
hi we just poured a 55x 45 floor and the cement co told us to make a 30x30 x30 box for the foot print of the 2 hoists was only extra 50.00 per hole , dont see why you could not do this with any floor .
