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?

Thanks for the nuances ... I'm trying not to go off half-cocked ...

This is the one I'm leaning towards.

Pros:
It has the highest lift of the other "budget" lifts and is the cheapest.

Cons:
It also requires the most ceiling clearance

I know I would be hating life 5 minutes after I got the floor pan version. But to use the overhead design, I will have to significantly remodel and rethink how my shop is laid out.

I need a bigger shop! 24x54 just isn't big enough any more.
