Always liked the idea of these but they're a bit pricey      http://www.smartgarageequipment.co.uk/1_post_lifts_home.html

£1650+vat for a four ton two post lift is pretty impressive, especially as that's delivered and installed 8)

I wonder if they're weather proof :-\

I have the quote for the Autolift 3000.  Looks very reasonable although I wont be able to get one for a few months yet :-[

1st link seems a bit odd IMHO ... Autolift 3000 without the drill is MORE than it with the drill !!!  (top 2 rows of the quote !)  :)

Can't help thinking the sill looks a bit buckled on the car in the photo.  :o :-\

Top right?  I think that is damage caused by pressure on the panel rather than from the lift... :-\

I would get two... one for each end :-\ really didn't like the lack of control when the chap tipped the car forward and back in the video... it came down quickly enough to do some damage... :-\

How strong is it laterally? If you're swinging on a front wishbone bolt, what's to stop it collapsing sideways, on your head :-\

Devils advocate and all... :y

Personally I wouldn't use it to tip kitty over from front to back.  Rather lift one end up at a time.  You dont f $#@ about when lifting 2.4 tonnes.

My feeling is that it may work OK for lifting each end in turn, then fitting stands. Just an expensive, but easy to use, jack, really. I would not like to use it on the sills. :-\
