Buying a used lift worth the savings?

I don't want a Chinese lift/ thats all those atlas lifts are. If I had to but new it would be a Mohawk.
Look at the newish rotary at work then look at my old weaver. Bigger foot plates and much heavier steel in the columns. No 2 guys are gonna walk mine down on take down or back up on install .... Wouldn't have happened w/o a tractor or forklift. 4 of us had all we could do to set the columns down on my trailer without a big "CRASH" landing......... and our feet were all sliding once the column started to go over.... We had ahold of a 27' long ratchet strap meant for securing a load on a flatbed semi. ..
mohawk is the only new one in that weight range that comes close. But while an atlas can be had for <$2500 new there's a reason a mohawk is 3x that.
I haven't priced the lately but the numbers I show are a few years old.
