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 all the links ... keep them coming. I'm learning a lot.

I also found this lift ...

What I am finding is that many of these vendors/manufacturers are very flexible on pricing, willing to price match in many cases.

The fine print is interesting as well. For instance, the American Automotive lift shortbus linked to has a $50 pick up fee and has to charge me Texas sales tax. Out the door is over $1400.

The Panther lift I refernced above, has no pick up fee and is $1350 out the door.

Still scanning the local Craiglist and haven't found anything that I would go with. The ones in the D/FW, Houston and Austin areas are either more expensive than I can get for new or in need of repair.

I'm not in a huge hurry, but I do have a couple weeks off coming up and could use that time to get the thing installed and working and do the necessary remodeling inside my shop.
