    Hi guys,

    I have done a search, but nothing on this model.

    I want to get a lift, but I got 7 1/2 feet ceiling. :(

    So I was doing some research and I was leaning towards the scissor style lift but then I saw this model, Bend pak ML-6. Looks pretty cool, plus I can roll it outside to lift it higher if I have to.

    Anybody have any info on this model?

    Pros and Con guys.

    Thanks

    Chris

    i've used one, its really practical because you can move it around but it doesn't go too high and it feels like if the car is gonna fall on your head,

    it's uncomfortable to do jobs like changing a clutch on a Front engine rear wheel drive car and jobs like that

    my opinion is that it's very usefull but not like two post one which can do EVERYTHING

    i also use a scissor type one and i hate it!

    ROLO,

    I wish i could put a 2 post, but ceiling is 7 1/2 feet.

    Is it secured good with a car on it when you say "it feels like it will fall on your head?" Plus i have a 308 and most work would be in the back.
    Do you see any problems there?

    Thank you for any information.

    your welcomed

    when the car is on it, you can move it and it's not as firm as a 2 post one, that's why it feels funny, it will hold the car very firmly
    when i took that rear diff out, i was applying a lot of weight on the rear end and it wiggles a little bit, i'm not confortable with it but never had an incident or a close call so far

    if i where you i would definetly buy it since your car is rear engine rear wheel drive, unless you ar planning on taking all the water pipes out, you wouldn't have any major issues

    enjoy your new toy!!!

    ps.here is a pic of another car we took apart on that thing

    notice the clearance issues i was talking about

    also, safety first, please never forget to secure it to the lift , since both arms are close together, the car can lean to the front or the back, always use a chain or tow strap to secure it at both ends

    ROLO,

    I found a good deal on one, so I called and they told me the Company discontinued it.:(
    Can you believe that! It would have worked great for my situation.

    I'll have to find something else.

    Thanks again.

    Cheers,
    Chris
