I also chose Direct Lift. This is their Pro Park 9000. I also purchased two hydraulic rolling jacks to do service work. When I was shopping, early on I became convinced that I wanted one that was Auto Lift Institute (ALI) approved...just for the assurance that it met a standard of safety. Most of the key lift manufacturers have submitted their lifts for this testing. In the final decision making it came down to this and a similar BendPak lift. No regrets with my choice. It does a good job performing both duties of doubling storage and doing maintenance. My ceiling height is 13'6". Only when placing a lifted Ram pickup have I needed that much height. Two suggestions for shopping: (1) Make certain you're getting a lift that will handle the heaviest vehicle you'll ever be placing on it. (2) Look carefully at the measurements of the lift (These things have a surprisingly large footprint).
