louisoursler	Thinking about purchasing a Bend Pak SP-7X scissor lift. Just wondering if any Prowler owner has purchased one. It's a full rise (72"), no crossmember allowing plenty of underneath room and somewhat portable as it does not require bolting to the floor. What I don't know is if the Prowler will fit on it and over it ( 5" rise) when lowered. Any input appreciated. Louis Oursler
Ray	I have two of the Double-Park lifts from Cytech and neither are "bolted to the floor" and are considered fully "portable" as well. There are even caster kits that allow you to roll the thing around with the car on it too. All depends on what you want to use the device for ... and your budget. Good luck with your selection ...
scooter1	Are you sure you'd rather have a scissor lift vs. a four post lift? Bend-Pak makes an awesome 4 post lift for around 2K that is of excellent quality an one of the most inexpensive ones available. I've got one and really like it. Wonder why I didn't get it years ago. The scissor lifts are OK for service, but you can't park anything under your car with one of those. A four post lift gives you parking for two cars. Something to consider....
CJ	Four post lift is the way to go if you have the room for it.

katmat	I'm also looking at purchasing a 4 post lift, after I finish raising the back section of my garage. I'm looking at the Pro Park 7 from Greg Smith Equipment sales in Indianapolis. Has anyone purchase this lift or is anyone close by that could check it out? The price is $1,795.00 & comes w/ some extra items including 3 trays, casters, & a oil change can. the web site has a video. www.gregsmithequipment.com Thanks, Matt Murphy
Ray	...often times you do get what you pay for ... and if you are stacking cars ... hate to be penny wise but pound foolish. Not familiar with those, but you are more than welcome to come see my Cytek Double-Park lifts. Industrial built for commercial applicaitons but "residential friendly".
BlackAMX	Check out Backyard Buddy lifts,all American. Get a Hemmings Motor News and you will find a bunch of lift companies to choose from.
Paul B	Ive been shopping for lifts lately and the local garage guy recommended Mohwak lifts. here is their link, they have some nice 2 post lifts and 2 post asymetrical lifts for small garage and light use. The also make scissor lifts, etc and they make lifts for up to 70,000 lbs+. http://www.mohawklifts.com/ goodluck paul b This message has been edited by Paul B on 10-25-2006 at 09:38 PM
katmat	Has anyone been able to contact CYTEK double-park lifts. from what I read It seems like they are out of business.I have checked out the Backyard Buddy lifts & they seem like a good lift but w/ the options & shipping it would be about $5,000.00 Thanks, Matt
Don	Just purchased a Kwik lift, great for everything I have to do. Sit down and do brake work or lay on creeper for under car work. No stacking of cars. www.kwiklift.com
Prowl 36	Hello Ray, I have been trying to find a 4 post lift. I cannot find any information on Cytech, or any phone number for them. It appears they have gone out of business. Would you possibly have any information? Thanks

katmat	I've ben doing a lot of research on the 4 post lifts. Talked to at least 8 different brokers (seems a lot are selling a Chinese lift). Yesterday I ordered the Bend-Pak 9ST (9000 pound rating) w/ 3 drip pans, 3000 pound cap. axle jack ,additional set of ramps(drive thru) & caster set. Cost w/ freight was $3,560.00. Bend-Pak is made in America, they have been around a long time, & there isn't a 4-6 week wait. I tried reaching Double Park but it seems that they are out of business. I checked out & talked to Back Yard Buddy & he seemed to have a good Product, thou his sales pitch seemed to degrade all the other lifts rather than tell about his lift. Cost for his lift w/ the options & shipping was about $5,000.00 (for a 7000 pound lift & a 5 week wait). I'm in the process of raising the back section of my garage so I hope to post so pictures in a couple weeks. Matt Murphy
Ray	Number I have for them is 800-754-8786 or email Lewis216@southwind.net or web site www.kars.com/cytech/ Haven't tried any of them ... no need, but let us know what you find.
BlackAMX	Auto Butler Lifts are the same as Backyard Buddys but at almost half the price and they give you the drip pans with your internet order.
BlackAMX	I forgot to add that Auto Butler lifts are American made.
