Tilting lifts?

[felchi80]

Anyone have experience with one of these?
They don't seem to be available in NA. I find lots of places in UK that sells them though.

Are they safe? seems pretty useful to me.
I did contact the seller... it's 650USD + freight fees and stuff...
Cheaper than an EZCarlift....

I would be concerned that it is not lifting the vehicle at the approved lifting points. Might end up bending the chassis.

Also, the tilting feature would freak the hell out of me. I would never get under that thing.

That seems less convenient than a good floor jack and a set of jackstands to me.

+1 for not being proper jacking points.

It'll definitely be sketchy with the extreme examples of imbalanced cars like some FWD and pickups.

Won't work with some vehicles exhaust and drivetrain bits hanging low.

Long story short, I wouldn't get one. waste of money over the jack and stands I have now.

Not sure why you wOuld want this over a Jack and Jack stands? Seems limited and gimmicky.

And if the rubber frame pads get a little oil on them? Wrote a song about it..."slip slide and awaaaaayyy". no thanks...next.

All valid points.

thank you ppl.

our cars are rustproof underneath... so could quite possibly slip...
