    The colors look similar but no branding. Something to think about, anyway:

    Don't think it is a Bend Pak. Too many features that do not resemble mine. We just put our new Ram 2500 extended cab, full size bed up in the air this morning on mine, worked like a champ.
    I think they should say who's lift it is. Not sure about he 1.5x rated capacity standard he was talking about, mandated by who?

    No it wasn't, it was a tinkertoy. I am not crazy about any of the lifts that do not have a structure across the top tying the posts together and the Bend Pacs do not until they get to 10k lbs capacity.

    They are right, lots of cheap hoists out there but lots of good ones too. Most of the lifts are overkill for lifting a Ferrari.

    1.5 is a pretty common safety margin.
