I like Roger's idea. My sister just got a new van and when she was working out the trade of the old one the company told her that there was no value in the old lift even though it worked fine because regs have changed since it was built and for them to resell it would require an updated model. If there were such a company near you it might could be had for hauling away or at least scrap steel value. I don't know the lift specs, but I'd guess at least 400#, but could be higher.
