An Asymmetric 2 post lift has some advantages over the conventional 2-post.
The inexpensive new lifts are often Made in China with the retail vendor just attaching a sticky label. You may never know what company made it ? That leaves you vulnerable to spare parts support years from now.
I bought a 20+year old Mohawk. I serviced it and installed it. Had a few questions and called Mohawk in New York. Spoke to a genuine American with flawless English .He gave me detailed instructions,emailed a link to an on-line pdf and knowledgeably chatted about the lift.
When earlier I had considered an imported lift I emailed the manufacturer in China and even got them to participate in a Thread on Garage Journal. That experience nixed the Chinese option for me.
