What Is This Lift Called?
I have an old (1986) weaver 2 post.... Pretty new for Weaver as rotary bought them out in 1989 and squashed the brand.
Built like a brick **** house. Huge floor plates under the columns and THICK columns. It has no cross plate across the top but has the floor plate which contrary that others may say has never been in the way or prevented me from doing anything I've ever wanted to do on it. A lift with the floor plate works better with lower ceilings. You might not be able to use the full extension but still tons better than a floor jack and stands ... I got it at a steal off of CL about 13 years ago.
The ONLY new lift still made that comes close to being as stout as what mine is, is a Mohawk which was $7k new back when that cheap place in Indy wanted $1200 for an import 8000# 2 post..... and that was 2012 when I got this one.
