I believe they still offer a power choice of 12v deep cycle battery, 120 or 240 volt ac.
Thanks for your input. In my working career I've had some good financial times and some bad ones, most recently starting with the 2008 meltdown. I just retired and have recovered from that and YES, I am on a self imposed budget. This lift would be used infrequently and I do not require commercial grade quality. Back Yard Buddies are certainly of good quality as is Bendpak and they should be for the price one pays. In this specific case i question myself why I should pay a premium price for equipment that will be little used.
