Default Re: 2 post-4 post lifts

I bought an ADVANTAGE 4 post lift. It is very well constructed and does not need to be bolted down. I have had several long wheelbase dually trucks on it. I have rolled it outside to do steam cleaning on the underside. I could not be happier.

Thanks for the input everyone. Been looking at some online based on your input.

I checked out Advantage. They look pretty impressive and are at the top of my list as of now. Not writing others off yet, but the Advantage you referenced is looking really good

Aaron Allison at Racetoolsdirect 1-330-692-9990 sells both I bought a 4 post lift from him. I picked it up from one of his Suppliers and had it put together that afternoon..The reason i purchased the 4 Post lift was i didn't know how thick the concrete was in my garage My brother has a 2 post lift and we poured the floor before we installed it . Where the lift was going we dropped down 30" and installed 24"-x 1" L bolts to bolt down the lift it's pretty solid. I don't trust them drop in anchors for something that heavy that a car or truck is going to be on with me under it working on it and I've used a lot of them on jobs.plus you don't know how thick the concrete is.

Rod Greene,
I just ordered an Advantage 4-post 11,000lb. lift for the shop. After talking to one of their reps (Mike Bartholow) out at the PRI show and viewing the one they had on display I was very interested. Plus, if you ordered it there you got a nice discount.

That's the one I'm looking at. It's been a few days since I looked at their website. Is this the one that has a system to move it around the shop, not permanently mounted to the floor? Seems like that would be a nice perk.

I have rolled mine out of the shop and put my dually on it to pressure wash. I would recommend getting the air jack with it makes brake jobs easy and lifts my cummins dually with ease. I can't seem to post pics but I have some of it rolled outside. It is very stable and well built.
