I wanted to answer a few more of the questions poised:
- With my 900T on it it's approx 8 feet to the top of the car roof, and about 9 feet with the hood opened (top of hood). It can be lifted to any height within it's range, that's at max.
- Quality? I'd describe it as reasonable - it's of Chinese mfg, so it's a little more about large amounts of steel than fine tooling, I've seen nothing that was unreasonable or gave me pause. It should be quite reparable should anything go wrong over time (rebuild rams or other). I'd researched a few, I think there's one factory in China building these for a few companies, so you may be looking at the same thing across a few sites.
- Moveable - somewhat, I can just barely move it by myself using the motor stand and wheels, with two people it becomes reasonable to move
- Jacking Points - it's a four point lift, so it's lifting from the jacking points
- Limited access - this hasn't been a problem, I've been able to do a 9-5 subframe (bushings) without a problem. It has a cutout for exhaust and related so it would be somewhat obstructed access, but still doable. Dropping a RWD transmission could be an issue, but I don't see me doing that work anytime soon.
- Complaints - none with the equipment itself, it can be a little tricky to line the car up on the lift (must be centered pretty well), but I'm getting to where it no longer takes me a few tries. I had to build some wood ramps to let my Miata clear the lift to pull over. But that wasn't difficult, especially compared to life before the lift.

I hope that helps, if anyone would like more answered just let me know. It's one of those purchases I wish I'd done years ago, it makes working on the cars so much nicer and easier.

Take Care,
Scott
