Home Lift

Anyone know what would make a good home lift. My parents and i are moving into a new house and on the property is an old welding shop that used to work on cars. Well we decided to tear that down and make a good sized garage. Really its just a place where i can play with my toys . So i am looking into a good lift to have in the garage. I have heard alot of things about the Backyard Buddy and how good of a 4 post lift it is. But after watching the vid on thier website i noticed that the audio is cut off on some parts of the tape to hide info on the lift and its rivals. Anyone know of another brand that could work. I am not too familiar with twin posts so i do not even check them out.

geez i wish i could, i just had a new driveway layed down 2yrs ago and it would kill me to dig into it. OR are there lifts where you just bolt down with some massive bolts instead of digging into the driveway.

Check out BendPak. I've heard a lot of good things about them.

If you look at the 4 post lifts on the previous website, those don't require any bolts holding it to the ground. In fact they say you can put them on some casters and roll them around the shop/garage/driveway if you want.

yeah i think the Backyard Buddy is more of a car storage system because you can move the lift around with casters.
