What I've been using for about 8 years:

Many manufacturers offer a narrow version (as above) with 37" or so between
the ramps. This gets you a narrower footprint but also you need the narrow
version to get a TR on there.
My ceiling height is 10' which means I can use the next-to-highest stop -
which is an ideal working height for me.
My garage door opener recently died and I was pleasantly surprised that
jack-screw openers are reasonably priced. Replacing the old style overhead
drive track & motor with a side-lift jack screw simplifies the use of the
lift.
