My CompleteHydraulics #8000 went in a few weeks ago as a self-install. Price was $1599.99 plus $400 shipping (Ohio to Florida). No tax or any other fees. Here's the skinny (I'd post pics but haven't figured out the new methodology...). Lift came shipped to a local freight company and they loaded it (forked) on a flat bed trailer that I arrived with. Could have had it dropped at the house but I didn't have a forklift sitting around...LOL. Total weight was somewhere around 1400-1500 lbs. All the rails/components are very well packed and bolted together with some aggressive end cap frames (disposable). The lift is made in China specifically for CompleteHydraulics (their design) but the pump unit is made in the USA. After I got mine up and running, I called their service rep just to express my pleasure with the lift. He loved to chit-chat about the lift, how it's made, and life in general. Interesting fellow. Anyways, when I got the lift home, I was able to dissassemble the shipping material and man-handle all the components myself except for the two vehicle ramps that run the length of the lift. All the components are very well built and very sturdy. Good powdercoat finish and quality sub-components. Nothing made me scratch my head and wonder [*****]... I was able to assemble the entire lift myself and only needed my neighbor to assist with positioning the long vehicle ramps. I got the 220v motor and so far, love it. I am using it free-standing and not bolted to the floor. It does come with all the floor fasteners too. Also, the three drip pans and one jack pan that come with the lift are heavy gauge steel and are actually over-designed (IMO). I have not used the dolly's that come with the lift to move it around...but they apprear to be another great design. So long story even longer, love the lift and the company behind it.
