Backyard buddies has some nice drive on 4 post lifts. A friend has one.
Plugs into a standard 110 15 amp outlet. Great for storing a vehicle on.
You can buy jacks that will lift the car/truck up off the ramps of a four
post lift so you can remove tires etc..
There is also a company that is Eagle Equipment. They have both four post
drive on ramps and two post arm type lifts. I bought a used 2 post lift. I
am very happy with it. Does require 220 volts. I store my '35 Dodge coupe
on it, but I wouldn't want to store something that is restored etc. because
the suspension is always hanging. Not sure if that is good for it.
