Question about air operated lifts.

[jeostang]

What is a good air operated lift that I can get that I can just leave in its place meaning I don't have to move it around everytime I want to lift the car. I need one that will allow me to lift the wheels off the ground and be able to access exhaust components from the headers back. My garage will only have a 10 foot ceiling so I can't be somthing that I can stand under.

I hope I explained this well enough.

I don't know of any air-operated lifts, if I understand the question. Most of the ones I know about are pure hydraulic (electric motor operated) or some kind of cable and pulley system, also operated by an electric motor.

I imagine this is true because air motors don't have the stall torque of electric motors and because of the availability and low cost of electric motors.

One exception: there are air-operated jacks for race cars that lift up the car in the pits when a high-pressure air line is inserted into a coupler in the car. But I assume this isn't the topic here as they are not for garage use.
