[QUOTE="DW Ruby, post: 330163, member: 8592"] Yes, science (Engineering to be more specific). There is a whole myriad of factors to be considered in the design of any lift. While the loading paramaters (vertical, lateral, bending) vary greatly between the designs, the ultimate stability remains as a constant, based on the quality of the manufacture and installation. By examples: [INDENT]A four post lift poorly braced will be far more susceptible to a lateral failure than its counter-part.[/INDENT] [INDENT]A four post lift incorrectly installed (not sharing the loads amongst all four posts), will be far more susceptible to column crippling than its counter-part.[/INDENT] That said, a single post lift, poorly designed, manufactured, or installed, is also a recipe for disaster. I stand by my 'opinion' that the stability of the system has nothing to do with the quantity of its legs. If you are buying a lift (of any configuration), do so with a reputable manufacturer and have it properly installed. If the fear of how the lift 'looks' is to be your guide, you'd better stay indoors because this design is everwhere. [/QUOTE]
