i have worked at many shops that used either bend pak or rotary.

rotary lifts are much nicer.

the bend packs have really loud safety latches.

dont get one that you have to drive over a guard that houses the hydro hose for the opposite cylinder.
i know the lift im about to tell you about was a bend pak. i dont know if rotary offers the same design. all ones from rotary i have used have the hose above the car.

the lack of maintainece was an issue. this tech (not me) lifted a car, didnt set it on the safteys, in fact his lift was rigged to the saftey never engaged. the hose broke and the car fell off.

we were all un hurt. thank God!

get a rotary.
