That is very cheap! 3 phase supply needed though.

That's odd; if you look at what else they're selling they've got a 3.4 tonne version and it's over £1k.

I'm personally about to push the button on the automotech 4-post short parking lift, having altered the eves of my single garage so that I can store my Griff and Tamora.

Yes there's a "1" missing before the "4".

You won't go far wrong with automotech for the money, and they offer good support.

I think so too; they're actually around the corner from me so I've got a reasonable deal for them to deliver and fit the lift for me - £380. Beats putting my back out! smashcoffee

Like Lee I bought a 4 post lift 10 years ago [after modifying the roof of the garage] mainly for storage but it's a great bit of kit for working on the Griffith and the Elan; best thing I ever bought.

That's really cheap. I paid about 4 times that for a used 30 year old Rotary lift. The Rotary is a professional 2 post lift which is designed to go up and down multiple times per day. Cheaper Chines made home lifts are not built the same way and would not last long in a professional shop.

Given how cheap this lift it, I would like to put my hands on it first. Given what my Rotary weighs, I don't think I could ship my Rotary for the $420.

I've had two of their lifts a two poster and a 3t platform that lifts to 1m high and I've been delighted with the quality and reliability of both
