I got a lift about 10 yrs ago. Forget the brand, but it too is out of business. I got the lift for the cost of pick up from a Mohawk dealer who had to remove it to sell the customer new lifts. He told me for home use it would probably never wear out. So far, he was right. He also said that if anything ever did break I could probably replace with available parts from other lifts. So far, luckily, I have not had to go there.
