Hi guys,

after 5 months of eager anticipation and 3 separate back orders i was informed that my Bend-Pak 4-post lift is still on backorder with no indication of when that would change.

I decided i had waited long enough and got my money back but im still left needing a lift! At this point im just looking for something quality either two post or four post. Does anyone have a clue as to a retailer that my actually have a non chinese lift in stock?

Thanks!
 
I got my lift from wildfirelifts.com and have been very happy with it. Im sure its made in china but the quality is good.
 
I guess they are caught up in the shipping debacle the cargo ships sitting off shore not being off loaded...OP. I suppose you could look for a used one if you need one quick, or just go the same route and wait.

I also have a Wildfire lift and I really like it. Good quality and after looking at others, I think it's a safer design.

IMHO, it's my belief that the "Made in USA" lifts are built with off shore sourced steel and parts anyway.

This is a problem everywhere. Raw material shortages are causing problems for us at work, particularly with steel, rubber and most plastics
 
yeah...you have to order it and wait...even if its 6 months,9 months etc.what sucks is they have your $$$
 
There are two companies her, one East coast the other West that continually flood CL with new lift ads.

It's so bad that it's sometimes hard to sift through, looking for take out commercial lifts.

They must have them in stock, or I would think there wouldn't be 5-10 new ads every week.
 
You might want to try Greg Smith Equipment. They have multiple locations. I got one of their Atlas lifts and am pretty pleased with it. They are a good sized outlet so perhaps they have more stock on hand?
 
+1 on Greg Smith Equipment. I was lucky enough to be able to pick it up from a branch they had in OR. Saved sales tax and shipping.
 
I bought mine thru Eagle lifts 1-800-535-0016
I bought a certified 10k 2 post in 2014. Very happy with it.

When I see ads like this I just take a minute or two to sift thru them and just keep flagging and flagging and flagging,
 
Ain't got no time at all for that.
I just skip over them.
They are easy to recognize.

They are valid ads for new lifts.
They just post 5-10 new ones every couple of days.
Not very considerate.
