Garage Car Lift - Atlas 9KOHX - 9,000 lb 2-post

[Pettrix]

Dannmar comes from the same company as Bendpak, and at a lower price.

I was told by a business person that BendPak lifts are made in China and that they rebrand that style of lift. The same factory rebrands that lift and different manufacturers put their name on it.

Looks like BendPak & Dannmar come out of the same factory in China. The Dannmar is ALI Certified also. Online it appears the D12-10A Assymmetric 2-post 10,000 lb lift is $4,100 delivered. Not too bad of a price.

I'm happy with my Dannmar, and have been for about 12 years now.

Just wish I'd bought a wider 10K instead of the 9K.

I bought a used one from the local Costco garage: Challenger Twin, 10K. It had been miswired with an incorrect relay and a few tech's got shocked. I had my shed floor repoured with steel & higher stress etc. I even store my mowers on it when not in use. Also good for pulling stuck pto shafts apart, mounting loaded tires onto the tractor, etc.
I recommend buying at least 2 adjustable tall jack stands for extra support. An F350 7.3 crewcab with an almost full fuel tank has a very disturbing pitch frequency...

When bought my lift 20 years ago I looked at several makes then my BIL mentioned Mohawk. It was very pricy at the time $5k but I have a 3/4 ton diesel pickup & the thought of working under an overrated import lift scared the crap outa me.
I’ve see take outs on face book on occasion & I would rather buy a used quality lift because you never know who’s going to be working under it!!

My 2cents.

If you watch some of the auto mechanic shows on motor trend tv, they use Bendpak brand lifts.
I have noticed on those shows that some if not all of the Bendpak lifts use a chain where my Forward (by Rotary) lift uses only cables no chains. you can google the differences if you haven't done so. I thought all were cable lift until I bought mine and found out differently

....I'm thinking about making ramps recently using PT 2x12s, 6ft, 4ft, etc stacked for low (Mustangs) car.

That's what I've been using for over 25 years. Works fine.

I've made low ramps out of 2x12's. Any hydraulic/electric system would require a reinforced concrete pad and a 15K lift. Too much $$$ for any use I could need.
