truly portable 2 post lift idea

[p00p]

I have this & have dropped a trans, engine & cradle without it being in the way. You do have to plan accordingly where the dropout is going to maneuver away from. A single car garage isn't practical for this lift design.

I see 2 post lifts that are described as portable, but they still require bolting to the floor. (I've also seen the one on a trailer that really is portable, but that's not really what this is about.)


There are the multipoint lift systems used to lift larger vehicles, where each post synchronously lifts an individual tire of a larger vehicle.


I have also seen ads for a single post lift that extends under the vehicle.


Why are there no 2 post lifts that merge these ideas. So, two individual posts, best tied together at the bottom somehow, that perhaps have outriggers extending fore and aft to keep the vehicle from tipping forward or aft, that could be disassembled and stored in the corner but set up anywhere the ground/floor is level? The closest I recall seeing is this, but it seems something vertical would be stronger.

I know this is old, but has anyone seen a 2- poster in which the top beam pivots around a permanently bolted tower withe the other tower unbolted. The movable tower and top beam would swing. There would not be studs sticking out of the concrete, rather it would have Hilti concrete anchor inserts that could easily receive bolts. Fire this thread back up.
