Knees are shot. Like ice cream too much to loose weight, means the obvious answer is to install a lift.

So, looking at the "reasonable" end of 9K lb, symmetrical lifts, what's the short comings of the following brands?

I haven't worked with any of those brands, but my one piece of advice would be to run the lines up over the lift as opposed to them being on the floor. Having them on the floor is a major pita. You have to sweep everything around them, you trip on them, you have to push the cars over them, etc.

I can certainly see that and considered that.

A decision I have to make is if I want to live with the inconvenience of the floor plate or inconvenience of altering ideal placement due to overhead obstruction.
