Andrew - as you can see in the ads you cite, there are pros and cons for
whatever you choose. The lift with the most clear, unobstructed working
area, is the 2 post with overhead equalizing cables and lines.
Unfortunately, that is also the one needing the most height clearance. You
have to choose what works for you.
One related issue is the delivery of the lift to your home. The larger
lifts are well over 1000# and shipped by motor freight. The trucker will be
MOST unhappy if, after locating your driveway, you cannot lift the item off
his truck. I was lucky in that I had a compact tractor with bucket, so that
I could lift one end and slide it off on to the ground, then lift the other
end so that the trucker could drive the truck out from under the load. (my
tractor will only lift about 750 lbs with the bucket, about half of the lift
shipping weight). Just something to consider!

Werner - I think this would work for me as I could probably align the
posts
between the rafters to accommodate the 113" ht. Is yours the same?

Andrew - check out www.geusa.com - that's where I bought my Bend-Pak
XP-10AC
a few years ago, when they had a sale. They do show a low ceiling lift
that
still requires 113" clearance for the posts. Less than that, you may be
looking at a 4-post or something like that.
