You'll get sick of pushing cars over the hump if you use it a lot, its worth spending the $$'s for an overhead if you have room (have a couple of 2 post overhead Molnars at work).

Same , but for about 2 years, 

 

Only comment I'd make is that they arent really suitable for storing your Torana up in the air...they bend a little.( the car that is )

I have a Wild Boar 3T 2 poster.  Yes another Chinese hoist but very handy to have and seems to handle the work easily. It isn't a clear floor but that hasn't hindered my abilty to work in the slighest. 

The ramp in the centre is easy enough to push a car over too.

I remember saying a car would bend. Was told must be a torana thing as his 57 didn't bend

Put a 57 on one and guess what. Don't open the door cos ya can't close the Cunning Stunt!

That said i only had room for a two poster and love it. But always put the car back on the ground because they DO bend a little. But do come back.
I just got the cheap tuff lift. I've had no issues with it. Even with a blown big block chev on it.

Torana isn't an issue as it's way lighter.
