Several reasons the 993 is on top. 1. I have trays to catch oil, but this one has 0 leaks. Just did an engine out service this fall and replaced all seals and anything rubber. 2. I seem to drive the 3RS more. 3. The 3RS drags the front lip getting on or off the top even with FAL lifted. So just easier to have the 993 up there.

I have the Bendpak and they require a compressor to lower the car (due to safety locks).
It’s really annoying and I wouldn’t buy it again for that reason alone.
i should have spent a little more and get the single post lift.

Question - I have a nearly one year old lift in my garage at the track. It got used rarely - maybe a dozen times this past year because I wasn't storing an extra car down there.
How often are you guys changing the hydraulic fluid? Is that an annual thing or less frequent based on usage?
Thanks in advance.

Has anyone on the forums installed a PL-6KDT bendpak platform in their home ? Do you wish you have gone with a standard 4 post lift ? Good/Bad Experience with the lift ? What would you consider the biggest drawback for this platform ? Thank you for all comments!

I too have been considering this BendPak two car lift as I like the fact that there are less poles and obstructions compared to two single lifts next to each other. I also like the ability to raise/lower one of the sides without having to move both cars under the lift. I’m curious to hear others input too. Seems like a cool product.

I am not interested in Bendpak due to the need for air lock release and limited space in my garage for the air compressor. I realize that although Backyard Buddy is a really nice lift, it is overpriced and really does not add enough benefit for the price. I also learned that everyone that reviews their lift or posts about the lift they put in their garage loves the one they bought and thinks it is the best.

I'd suggest throughly researching options to ensure your space can support the lift and then can the lift support your vehicle needs. Measure twice too.

I have three Bendpak 4 post lifts... love them. I always have a compressor in my garage, so no issues with the safety locks... HOWEVER I have a Bendpak compressor system that installs on the lift that stores air pressure on the way up to allow safety locks to be removed later... if anyone wants it, I'd gladly make you a good deal... don't know why I even ordered it.

Greetings all.
This thread is very helpful for me. Getting ready to improve things in the garage.
The main component that the garage will be rearranged around is a car lift.
I definitely need a 2-post post car lift. Thank you very much for your replies.
