Default WTB 4 post garage lift

Can anyone recommend a reputable company in the GTA area or S. Ontario that sells lifts?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I'm looking into a 4post storage lift.

Rotary Revolution seems to be pretty popular. I'll send you the distributor info tomorrow. There is one in TO.

You can buy used ones too from distributors. Better deal and they're well maintained.

Try Garage Supply in Orrillia...they will deliver and install. www.garagesupply.ca I got a price this Summer before the US dollar dropped and they were at $3995 CDN plus $550 for delivery and install in the GTA.

Great, thanks everyone for the feedback.
Canuk, look forward to your info. I've seen prices from 2-4K as DIY kits.

Hi Guys,

I bought a 4 post lift last year from Complete Hydraulics.

http://www.completehydraulic.com/cl08000cs.html

At $1595 it's a great deal.

They charged me $400 to deliver to a depot in Montreal. I rented a u-haul car trailer to pick it up. With 3 helpers the main lift was installed in my garage in about 1 1/2 hours. It took maybe another 1 1/2 hours by myself to hook up the cables and install the hydraulic motor.

I've been very happy with it. I store the 928 on it in the winter, and I've used it recently to repair the gas tank on my small SUV (Isuzu Rodeo).

Let me know if you have any questions

Brian.

i have a 2 post lift from the dealership that we don't really need anymore. hasn't been used since we got our emissions machine. If your interested PM me. It was in flawless working order when we took it down, but just for saftey's sake it couldn't hurt to have it serviced after you put it up.

Bill, i got a scissors lift from ADG in Mississauga and found them fair and very helpful. They handle all kinds of lifts including 4 posters. Ken Facciel 416 460-8956. He's the guy with the 924.

Thanks everyone for the information.
Jim - many thanks for getting back with the name.
Dead -Eye - I have my heart set on a 4 poster at the moment but will keep my options open.

the lift is still there.
best bet is to call Ron at dufferin mazda, he's our service manager there. tell him omar told you about the spare lift and he can give you all the details on it.

Default carlift.ca

Try taking a look at carlift.ca
$1,900.00 for a 4 post.
I believe they have an eastern warehouse for pick-up or delivery.
Check them out.
I was going to get one. Then I measured up the garage ceilling height. That ended my search. Minium height required : Car 1 height + Car 2 height + 10".
My ceilling is 106".
Still searching
