RE: [Chrysler300] Vehicle Residential Storage Lifts

FYI I have a 6 year old rotary four post lift and a 1 year old Bend Pack four post, Yes I saved money purchasing the Bend Pack but I am not happy with it. Have had several problems. I use both daily and have no problems with the Rotary lift.

Ryan, before you buy anything, you need to know what you really want/need.

If you are going to work on your cars, then a standard lift is good/

If getting that type, get the one with the overhead hoses and safety cables.

That stile leaves the floor clear under it. You can store a car on it, and one under it

If all you want is to just store cars, the 4 post lift will do.
You can get trays that slide on the ramps and hold jacks so you can work on the car.

Go to the 300 Club website and under tech find my article on installing my lift.

I've used it for years and only had to replace a piston seal. cost less than $100. installed.

Key here is your intended uses a.
A pro, I hated to work on cars on a ramp style lift. A real PIA

Good Luck,

Ray Jones in Mena

After two years of searching, my wife and I have just purchased a home with a four car garage and enough height (13 ft) to install a vehicle lift so I can fit all the cars, including the 300 (there, this thread is officially relevant ) and a boat in the garage and out of mother nature's reach. I know there have been discussions on lifts in the past but after reading over some of the old posts I found and poking around the internet a bit, I'm still unsure which direction to go. I live in the Vancouver, B.C. area so due to cross border shipping issues etc. on something this size, buying out of the U.S. may not be the best option for me, but one that I would still consider in order to get a quality unit at a reasonable price.

I'd love to here from Canadian members out there if you have any experience with any of the Canadian companies selling lifts like:

LiftKing
Atlas Auto Equipment
Babco
Direct Lift
Lift Superstore (Canada & U.S.)
All Tool Canada

Babco, and possibly others, sell BendPak and Dannmar lifts. Are these really the better quality residential type lifts or is it just advertising I'm buying into?
The big question for me is, from all with experience using these, what should I be focussing on to ensure I buy a storage lift that is going to be safe and reliable? Are any of these US or Canadian made any more? Is a lift that isn't anchored, and comes with castors to roll it around, as problematic as I envision it? (I know the castors are only active when you want to move it)

Thanks in advance to all who respond.
