i have heard of plenty of cars falling off a 2 post lift when not put on the lift correctly, but i am not sure that i have ever heard of a car falling off a lift due to the lift breaking.

if thats a 4 post... and your sayign the weight of your car and the ramps, beams, etc is hanging 4 of those big ass bolts... i wouldnt worry about it.

Phunk,

Does your rotarty lift shake and wiggle still when the lift/car is sitting on the ladder? (No weight on the cables). So Rotary uses a similar design where it hangs a ladder from one bolt and no other support? I figure the adjustments would come from the cables and not the ladder. This design is new to me and it sort of worries me about this design. I just don't like my cars wiggling when I am doing work on it where I have to yank on a bolt or pulling a tranny out. Thanks for the feed back.

yes by the way it's a 4 post. HD-9-B series.

I wonder why they went from welded tabs to a hanging ladder design.
