I have this lift, I have no complaints. Got it from northern tool, around 2800.00 deliver to my door. You are also going to need some way of moving it in place if you plan on recieving it at your home. Had a buddy come over with his bobcat to help me out

If you are going to have a professional install it like I did, they are also a good source for information, and they are also dealers of most lifts. Cost me about 400.00 for the install, I did the electrical myself.

I like that one and it's cheaper than I thought. Being in Canada I'll have to pay for shipping. How do they mount? Are the bolts on some sort of plate that gets cemented in???

They are bolted, with anchors in the concrete. The side lifts have a large floor plate on the bottom which is anchor to the ground.

I welded frame for a hoist on my 3/4 ton with a snowplow on the front. It was heavy to say the least, it came it two crates. When I got close to the garage I used my heavy-duty cherry picker to get it in the garage. Another hard part was trying to figure out the best location. Being asymmetric took more lines on the floor to get everything right. I set the lift up by myself I ran the electric also, it's great when something works like it's suppose to when you have never done it before. My wife always wants to help but I figure I've been hurt so many times. I don't want her to get hurt so I struggle until I get it.

You get a step-by-step instruction booklet, and they give you everything you need except a strong back!! Of course you have to wire it up.
