This got me thinking, that with the current battery and motor tech, there should be electric assist ones. Pneumatics seem to be fading away. I did find a bunch of crap, mostly for roadside emergencies that wouldn't fit under sports cars. Sadly nothing approaching the version in my head.
But you asked for clever:

Contemplating a replacement, I am not really seeing anything like this available now. Have you guys found anything similar? It is a pretty traditional hydraulic floor jack, except it also has a compressed air connection. This operates a pump that moves the hydraulic fluid instead of pumping the handle. The Norco is 2.25 Ton, which is plenty for me. I need to lift everything from my Miata to a large SUV. Besides saving my back, I sometimes find the jack in a position where I can't raise the jack handle enough before it hits the bumper or other part of the car. Is there anything clever available these days? If you have a fancy lift, I am jealous, but I don't have the room or ceiling height for one. Thanks.
