Which of these two lift would you get?

First lift- Bend Pak is a good name but I'm not sure it's as strong without the powerbar at the top.

Second lift has the powerbar but looks to be a china knock off

Wrong section.

My Dad bought that exact Bend Pak lift 2 years ago, so far the biggest thing we have picked up is a crew cab dually. Lift works great.

Here's a picture of my old 3/4 ton work truck up on it to give you an idea of what a long bed looks like on one.


I did have to build some wood ramps and go backwards to get my corvette on it since it sits so low. That bar on the other one would probably be in the way of getting the door open if you ever had to back a car on and need in the car with it up in the air.

the top one. it seems safer because its cable driven not chain like the other. they had those at the base shop when i was in the air force and they are super easy to use and they took a lot of abuse.

I have lifted 14,000 pound up armored SUVs on this design

I know a guy in Ft Worth that might be selling his 4 post. It is a heavy duty lift, I think 12 or 14klbs

Under 2500$ too I'm sure.

What kind of slab is needed for such a lift?

A two post obviously requires more of a slab than the four post; I would say nothing short of 4" on a four post though.
