I have a 10' ceiling and my 9-5 Aero wagon with roof rails fits above or below the 928 just fine.

My plan is to go up or down maybe once a monthly. Very little use actually.
Here is my current research on these:
Atlas Apex 8 – On sale for $2595 – Includes ramps and casters and shipping. Must add Drip pans ($80) and Jack Tray ($75) – Total Cost = $2745
Bendpak HD-7W - $3195 includes casters, ramps, drip pans and jack tray and shipping.
Direct Lift Pro Park 8S - $2,195 plus shipping ($250). Casters, ramps, drip pans and casters included. Total cost = $2,345
Titan SDPL-7000 - $1,995 Plus 7% Tax – Delivered to my door for $80. Setup for $475. Total Cost = $2,134 + $80 (shipping) = $2,214
Any reasons why I should not go with the Titan Lift?

The Atlas Apex 8 is 3300$ on Costco.ca (including drip trays, jack tray and a caster kit)
Bendpak HD-9 is 3745$ no including drip trays, jack tray and a caster kit. (Babco.ca)

FWIW, I bought my maxjax from Costco maybe 8 yrs ago. Was happy with their delivery process.
Picked a day for delivery, Cleared a spot in my garage, had my parents home to answer the door while I was at work, and they dropped it off inside the garage.

The ALI certification should you let you sleep better at night and certainly won't hurt any effort to sell it later.
One thing worth considering is whether or not your choice requires 220 volts. Should that be the case, you can (likely) count on an additional expense.

I have a two post Aamco 7K asymmetric lift, clear floor with overhead stop. American made, ALI certified, way better than the china lifts.
I was told by seller it was 11'-11" which just fit my 12'-1.5" ceiling. What I wasn't told was the rams pop up 4 extra inches.
Bought it used on Kijiji for $1000 cash, lift was about 8 years old then, I've had it 10 years now.
At the time shops were getting rid of thier extra lifts, because the gov was making them re-cert all thier lifts yearly, about $500 a pop.
I had to take it down and put it up, The guy had a forklift to get it on my trailer, but I put it up by myself.
I have a ceiling crane in my shop, down and back up in two days.

I have a 2 post Bendpak Symmetrical. I don't like the 4 posts because I can't really work on the car with those. You can store and the car and work on it with a 2 post. If you don't ever do anything and just need pure storage yeah the 4 post is great. I love my Bendpak though and my installer recommended them over anything else for what I needed.

To move the lift with your car loaded on it you only need to lift it up 6" off the ground. I pushed it over by myself, just have to angle the wheels in the direction you want to go before you put the weight on them. Works amazing.

My garage has a pretty good slope, so I've always been to scared to try and move it with a car on it...might take me out and end up in the street!
