I also have a QuickJack (tm) which I like because it doesn't take up much s=
pace and runs on 110 v current. Their website ishttp://www.quickjack.com . =
Also, they are made in the USA if that's important to you. The 2 platforms =
that hold the car can accommodate either the wheels or by moving them a lit=
tle closer, the frame rails or the body pan. When you're finished, they can=
 be either left on the floor to be driven over or leaned against the wall o=
r hung up.=20
