[GarageQueen]

As title really - are there any niffty devices that can get a car in the air / off the ground other than 4 / 2 post lifts?

Scissor lift

Axle stands..... big axle syands

You could always try an exhaust Jack...
But I think there quite a lot more than a a conventional trolley jack in price..

how high do you need to get it?

Single-post moveable. Ordered one, but not got it yet (recommended by a friend).

Not exactly cheap, but very flexible.

At the moment I'm using one of our forklifts with extended arms.

Think outside the box....

a)Dig a pit.

b)Park it over a drainhole and work from the inside the drain...

[edit]Second thoughts...

Get some breeze blocks. Lay on their sides, pile up into two ramps shapes, one for each side of car, work under car?
