We bought this unit used back in 2006 and it has been extremely dependable. Recently bought a larger lift to replace it. Unit has been capable of as much as 13,500 lbs. Has nice extras, like double stage mast for high lifting as well as both tilt and side shift. Runs on electric charge, so will save money. Taken care of and serviced regularly. We had both of the main cylinders rebuilt in 2020.
