Looks cool but im sure they're pretty expensive then you would have to refill the tanks I assume. Like MR. Evo MR said it gets expensive when you need multiple. Can you post up said mini 4 post lift. Did you mean 2 post?

Since it lifts by the wheels and 90% of the time I am removing wheels when I raise the car, it sorta defeats the purpose.

I have a 150 dollar, harbor freight aluminum jack(capable of lifting to 21.5 inches, or 25.5 with the block of wood), combine that with 4 sturdy jack stands(that dont require air that may allow the car to fall on you) and an extra 10 minutes of time.. and my pockets quite a bit fuller then any fool that buys this product.

And my wheels still come off.

Great product for a shop that does.. uh.. exhaust work...? Oil changes?

we use the huge 30,000lbs jacks like this for our work. its cool to use them for heavy duty equipment....but you are right it sucks since most of the time you will be taking the tires off. In our case we use the stands when we take them off. but since we have solid vehicles, we lift them from the chassis.

There is pic with Sierra Sierra Evo using these... they use it to lift then put the wheel cradles underneath the tire to work underneath the car

I tried to post the link but dont know what happened to it

"The lift is not intended to hold the car up for service to the underside and high stands are required."

You don't leave the car on jacks right? Or at least you shouldn't, any kind of jack (barring lifts, or purpose built air jacks). You lift the car up, pull out the jacks stand, let the car onto jack stand and get to work right?

For that purpose, these seem awesome and much much faster than hand jacks.

That being said, they seem like a lot more trouble setting up and a lot more expensive as well. Two jacks plus air compressor will take up a lot of room on trips IMO. Even with an enclosed. Not sure I see a big market for these.
