Actually more reading on the reviews shows it requires bolts in the
floor to hold the posts, which sorta defeats the purpose of having
"portable" lifts, though I suppose if you unbolt them and move them they
would be OK. Would have to put nuts or something in the floor though so
no studs sticking up to punch tires. And there are requirements for
floor thickness and concrete strength, which I would be concerned about
unless I poured proper footings for it. It seems useful though for a
regular garage, you can get the car lifted up to 4ft (or until it hits
the ceiling I guess) which gives some good room for a lot of jobs though
you would still be kinda hunched over or on a creeper. I see used lifts
for about $2k or less on CL occasionally, but they are the high-lift
ones so you would need a high ceiling for them.

What keeps these lifts from collapsing and squeezing the car doors?
