Rotary and Benpak lifts are excellent American made lifts. If I were to need one for a commercial application on a daily heavy use schedule , they would be at the top of my want list. As for my needs as a hobbyist and a car nut the import lift fits my needs. When I made my purchase I researched various brands and types of lifts and also the horror stories of cheap lift failures. A lot of failures were from operator failures to follow safety guidelines and common sense operation. I searched both Greg Smith and Complete HYD Systems located here in Indiana and found they carried a lot of similar items. When talking to reps from three different American manufactures I was told they also were and or planned to in the future , carry a bottom line or a base model that was cast overseas and assembled in America. My lift from Complete was made from foreign castings and assembled with American made hydraulics and electrical hardware in Texas.I installed my lift with a friend (too cheap to pay $500.00 to install)and it took about 6hrs and used basic hand tools with the exception on a hammer drill I already had to drill the mounting bolts. Now that I have used the lift on various cars and trucks , I'm happy with my choice of the two post over the fourpost lift.Cleaning of the top of the F-250's is aided with the use of a Wagner folding platform. Everyone may have different needs and this one fits mine just fine. If storage of a extra vehicle was on my list then a four post would be my choice.As I have mention in a previous post ,anyone in my area is fee to stop by and see if this type of lift that would do what they need.
