Hoist

Anyone here have a scissors jack or hoist in their garage? Might be wrong place to post but I could sure use one and wondered if anyone had suggestions/experience.

It might be a good idea to tell us where you are.

So do you want to borrow one, examine one first hand, or hear feedback from owners of one?

Buy one for my Mini Coopers and would like to hear if anyone has one and how they like it, how much it cost and what they can do maintenance/repair wise with that size of lift. I had one for my motorcycle and loved it but since have sold all motorcycles and hoist too.

I have a drive on 4 post lift in my garage that I store my Corvette on. It's powered by 120 volt. I likie the four post model because it doesn't require a big metal base plate or thick concrete base. Being that I use it for storage, it's not used very much but it has always worked great. My lift is 6 years old. It is american made. Watch for newer models being made in Mexico. My lift cost $2300.00 delivered from Texas. It was delivered in a semi truck as one pc that weighed 1500 lbs. So you will need a fork lift or a bunch of your buddies to unload.
