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?

Putting the finishing touches on the lift. Had some overhead clearance issues, but figured out a way to work around the limitations.

THAT is perfect! Now, I too, can consider a lift for my garage!
