Yes, one recommendation, make sure your insurer cover this risk.

Panther,
When you get it installed can you post a photo, thought about getting one of these myself?

looks exactly the same as mine , only problem i had with mine was in the hydraulic ram . Swarf left in the ram had scored the wall so it started to leak , one phone call and it was replaced that day ,that was over 3 years ago and have never had a problem since.

Only REAL problem with hoists is they make it too easy for you to do SO MUCH extra work

and with hindsight I think I should have got one with the slide along extra hydraulic lift that is an option

Ive got a repco four poster.
It came down on its own out of the blue one day. Luckily I didnt have a car underneath it.
I figured out the problem but now it has been drilled and barred on all four corners.
Its never come down again but at least I feel safer now.
