I have not used those, but I have used these...

The Direct Lifts are owned by Rotary (notice the same logo) and the quality for price is hard to beat.  And they are certified!  That's very important.

How can a 2 post lift be "portable"?  It's not bolted to the floor?

I just installed a 9000lb direct lift over this past year. No complaints,

I've been running a BendPak lift for 16 years, never had an issue with mine. I am a bit shocked at ware they cost now. I think I paid $2300 delivered / installed..

I think it is, but you can unbolt them.  You'll need high PSI strength concrete (like w/any lift) and you'd drive the bolts (or studs?) through the concrete???

I've seen at least one version where you bolt a heavy plate to the floor and then the stand is bolted to that plate.  This facilitates moving the lift out of the way if needed but leaves the low profile plate in place.  Not something I think you would do too often.  These things are heavy.  I've got a 6000lb scissor lift and it is a lot harder to move than you would think.  Weighs nearly half a ton.

I don't know but the web page itself is a little sketchy and would make me nervous about the product.

I have one and love it but I would get a set of 4 ft jack stand just to be safe these are a life saver if you working on exhaust and stuff where you are
beating stuff into place :) you can never be to safe under a car!!

I am using a Worth Lift since 2015.  It is USA made.  A little heavier duty than a lot of others.  At the time it was about 10% higher price than a similar sized Bemdpak which is Chinese made.  I have been very happy with it.   The only problem is that delivery is a little slower than promised.   My buddy had the same experience but it's also very happy with his.   The lack of a brace burn the posts on the maxjac. Seems a little concerning to me.  That puts a lot more tension on the anchors I would think.  Just my 2 cents.
