Portable hydraulic lift for the paddock?

Anyone seen one of these before in person? Looks mighty handy for both the garage and doing work in the paddock (if you tow to the track):


About $1100-1300 from Summit and other places, depending on the model.

Thoughts?

That's a lot of dough just to swap wheels IMO since I can just jack up the car and leave it on the jack while swapping wheels. You'll never catch me laying under one of those, either. Doesn't look over engineered enough for my comfort level.

Maybe if there are ALSO jackstands under the frame?

Friend has something similar, but uses hand drill for lifting. A bit less sophisticated, but probably half the price as well...if I get a brand name, I will post it.

I found the site, but that one is actually more ($1795) and doesn't include the electric components.

Parked in front of a fellow competitor that had that quick one, pretty sweet esp if your by yourself or are getting up there in years. It does have kick stands you pull out once it's up.

Bingo. I'm not that old, but have back issues. Anything to make things easier and avoid the back doctor/missed work/weeks of PT is worth its weight in gold!
