Sale

You know by now that I am leaving CA. I cannot take my two car lifts with me so I am putting them up for sale. One is an 8,000 pound four-post 120-volt lift made by Direct Lift. The other is a 10,000 pound two-post 240-volt lift made by Forward Lift. I am asking $3,000 for each or you can buy both for $5,000. Both lifts are sold as is and the buyer must handle complete disassembly and transport. They will be available for removal between 10/202025 and 10/24/2025. If they don’t sell, they stay in the shop and will go to waste or someone else will get to use them. Respectfully, Bob Wilkie [rwilk5@aol.com.
