Raising car

[TTschwing]

It is freestanding and has a lift of 48". No garage prep needed other than some approach ramps for low cars. It is very versatile and will lift a wide variety of cars. I happen to have 5 so this was important. There is a separate electro hydraulic unit that operates the hydraulics with safety locks at several points.

If I hadn't already built my shop with a 12 foot ceiling, I'd consider this type of lift. I wanted a lift I can walk under, and that gives me good access to the underside of an old car I'm restoring. While the best at that is a two-post lift, I'll end up with a four-post and a jack tray for the enhanced safety and the ability to do exhaust work.

That's a great lift, though. Ideal for most anything you'd want to do in your garage!
