I looked for over a year at these options. Even thought of getting
an in-ground type (very cheap used). However one day I saw my
friend the tire dealer here in town. Mentioned I was looking;
he had just closed down one of their out of town stores. I bought
a like-new AMCO 7000 lb twin post for $1500. I installed it myself
was not very hard using a rented rotary drill. Anyway, it's an idea!
good luck
Steve
