Whats your favorite and what do you have??

I have a Rotary S10i. Which stands for Symetrical 10,000lb with the inBay option.

I love the quality of the rotarys and the customer service i get even though i havent needed it yet. But ive only had it a little over a year.

I was going to get an assymetrical before learning there is more space between the posts on a symetrical nearly 8"s on mine so I was sold on that one. Plus they were moving their store and wanted to sell this one. $4,000 installed I believe might have been a little less.

The inbay is well worth the $450. It gets rid of the lever lock release, lever lowering and push button up. It moves the motor to the top out of the way and much quieter and it also gives you three buttons on EACH side of the lift. Up, Down and lower to locks. In addition it comes with tool hangers, 110 outlet and an air hookup.

If theres anything i wouldve done different its that i wouldnt have installed the spotter dish. It serves no purpose and just gets in the way.

Ive run a lot of other cheaper lifts and the rotary takes the cake. Especially with its pad design only thing its not good for is lifting cabs off things.

Its definately one of the best investments if not the best invesment(besides the A/C) in the shop. Since ive had it (15 months) theres been maybe all of 10 days where something wasnt on it. Granted 90% of the time somethings on it it is usully my truck.
