If the commercial lift is a two-post lift, t will take extensive  
anchoring to make it usable. If the lift is four-post, it can stand  
free on the floor without any anchoring. Costco has a four-post lift  
in their on-line catalog, and shipping is included. That would be my  
choice: New, clean, and with a warranty.
