Is the propark 8 bigger then the 7? I spoke to Clive a couple of days ago and he mentioned the 8 but I can't remember if he said it was bigger than the 7 or just had extra features.
I have also been doing a bit of research on hoists and I have come across a couple of USA forum posts that say the Propark is not as good as other hoists. ie the Backyard buddy and Bend Pac. Apparently the propark isn't certified either. (certified by who? ,I have no idea) Now I haven' t got a price on a Backyard Buddy (still waiting on a reply to my e-mail) but I have had a price from the Aussie dealer for the Bend Pac HD 9ST. $4700 AUD plus delivery from Brisbane, which is about $220 to Newcastle. This price doesn't include casters or jack tray. I can't find my bit of paper with prices at the moment but from memory the caster kit was about $600 and the jack tray was about $300 which I though was a bit steep. The bend pac does have a list of various standards that it complies with though.
Funnily enough, all the hoist companies in the US claim that their product is "the best on the market" etc etc.
AAh decisions, decisions
