i bought the one from penrith, AWSOME hoist mate AWSOME, never regretted buying it and never will... made in china with a 12ton ram SICK AS, folds away SO TINY when folded... dont go for any of that 8ton crap or made in taiwan shit... this hoist is the ultimate i swear... iv pulled out 454s, 2ltr turbos, practically everything... even used it as a jack to jack up the rear end of my car (TA22) 
but if in an emergency kennards hire have them for i think $50... i would offer mine but my cous is using it for his 200sx ATM and when i get it back next week it will be used for my car SORRY...
but i would recommend getting that hoist if you can

i am not going to diss anyone what so ever but i spent over a year looking at different hoists. i looked at everything like type (fold or not), size (weight range), ram, where they are made, what they are made from, sturdiness, EVERYTHING I COULD THINK OF.
the cheapest were a mob in melbourne (cant remember who exactly) but it would have cost me $30 more from them cause i had to get it shipped. the cheapest were the guys in penrith and they do free delivery sydney metro.
the hoist you are looking at is the absolute best that i found on the market today and the only place i found it cheaper SOMETIMES was on ebay and i would have ended up saving $10-$20 woohoo 
so MY opinion and its only mine is go get it from penrith if you want your own one to have, otherwise KENNARDS HIRE is the go
