This one costs less than any 4 post that I've seen. I looked at different brands, but I suspect that the same manufacturer in China makes all the ones I was looking at.....so, I got this one from harbor freight. Cost is about $1500, but you can use the 20% or more coupons. I had a 25% off one day only coupon that I used. Add in Freight to the terminal and it came in under $1200 tax and all.
There are obviously some drawbacks to this style of lift compared to a 2 post or 4 post, but I don't have much room and both of those take up too much of it. If I had built a 30X24, I would have looked into a 2 post designed to handle more weight and for transmission access. Still, I would rather have this than nothing at all. This will make working on my projects so much easier.
