Default Looking for a used lift

Anyone in the Mass area have a lift they want to sell? I'm looking for a 2 post that's not over 10' at a decent price. 7-9k # set up will do the trick. Thanks guys.

i believe auto-lifters went out of business... so just a heads up for if it ever has to be serviced down the road.

Thanks, I'm interested. Let me know the details on it. How old, does it need anything, weight rating, height, etc. Can you send me some pics?

Anyone know of others that are local?

Its all apart, but was taken down working perfect. it is a clear floor assymetric I think it said Bear on the side.. damn I just looked to. I didn't measure it, but its not 10ft tall. Not sure what the deal is with the over head wire thing.. if it actually goes up with the lift or how high etc.. my regular lift has the floor plate.. so not sure on this one. Never had it up, was a real good friends, that just bought a way bigger one. I was going to put up in my other garage, but haven't yet.. this should be 7k lb.. I will bring my camera to the shop tomorrow

Thanks Dan. I'm pretty sure I need one with the floor plate. The ones with the overhead wire are listed as much taller since you would want that pretty high to clear the lifted car. I'm not sure if they're adjustable in height but it looks fixed and doesn't move up with the lift. Anyone know for sure if this is the case?

If so, specialized, it's all yours and I'll keep looking for one with the floor plate.

I'm still looking for a low profile lift if anyone has one available. Under 10' in total height so a model with a floor bar instead of the overhead unit is needed. Thanks guys.

Hey Dan,
Great meeting you and the lift looks great. Should be painted up and looking new very shortly. Well worth the 300 mile round trip! Can't wait to get the vette in the air.... after I open up the ceiling of course. Thanks again.
