Default Four Post Car Lifts

I am looking to purchase a four post car lift for my home garage. Because of space limitations I am looking at narrow moldels that are 100" - 105" wide. I am considering either Dagmar D-7 or Bend Pak HD-9ST. Does anyone have an opinion on either one if these or know of better lifts for the price.

Is there anyone in the Greater Toronto Area that has one of these or a similar model installed in their garage that would be willing to demonstrate it to me? Much Appreciated.

I would suggest asking this in the Racing/DE forum.
Lots of past posts on lifts (single, dual and 4 post)....lots of experience in that forum.

Need to be careful of mirrors and in and out with a narrow lift.

I have the Bend Pak 4 Post lift in the narrow version and it works great. I called the manufacture in California and they directed me to a local distributor in CT who referred me to an installer. They shipped him and he delivered and installed it for me. I have my 997 tt on top with my Boxster on the bottom.

Is there any particular reason you went with Bend Pak? Did you consider any other lifts? Thanks.

I did some research on line, read a number of forums on the topic and went with what most people felt met their needs. I'm certainly no expert but I'm happy with my choice. My objective was pretty simple, park two cars in one space with a highly reliable safe parking system.
