A few years ago I told my friend that I was thinking about getting a low ceiling garage lift and he said save yourself a lot of time and start by looking at a Mohawk Lift and work from there.

If you look at the comparison of features it's hard to not think about maybe spending a little (or is that a lot?) more? Dang the Mohawk lifts are built to a little higher grade.....but you pay for what you get as always. Not saying the Bendpak lifts are not worth their price, in fact I was considering a Bendpak all along and might end up with one if I can't figure out how to get the Mohawk.

10,000 Bendpak here and no problems for the last 15 years.. 2 post asymmetrical.

Yes, with two redundant cables.

i just wished i had ceiling height for a lift !
just barely 8ft. is all i have........

If you can't raise the roof, you might lower the floor.

Bendpak 9K four post here used very regularly but not at a dealership, muffler shop level. No issues

i have considered digging a pit, but as i live on a hillside, i'm concerned about how ground water flows here.
and if i lower the floor, i will be below street level with a steep incline to the street, as the street is just over 1 1/2 car lengths from the garage.

I have a stupid tract home with a low garage ceiling, so I have a Bendpac mid rise scissor lift I bought off craigslist. It does what it is supposed to do year after year, but I cant get to the trans area because its a scissor lift.
