Has anyone ever used one of those? :

I need some feedback before I'll spend a grand. Looks promising for a small garage...

I've not used one but I imagine it would dig into concrete. You can get them where there is a steel base that the rear legs run in.

I'm not sure how much I'd like to put any force on a car that was just supported by one of these and access to the middle of the car doesn't look great.

It's probably OK for occasional use and some hi-rise axle stands.

Whats stopping the whole lot from falling sideways? As above. Centre access looks suspect too.

Better bet is to scour the internets for a used 2 post ramp. They come up for sale periodically. Need a different power source. But infinetly safer.
