Hi. Bought one. I have watched several videos and some suggest putting the lift near the front end of the vehicle and yours suggests center mass. My car is unibody but my concern is lifting points. Is it necessary to use at least one set of the vehicles lifting point (front or back) or is center of the vehicle the recommendation? Thank you!

I'm not affiliated with iDEAL but I've been an auto tech for 25 years. You'll be fine lifting the vehicle on the pinch weld at the bottom of the body and you don't need to be centered or under the factory jack points.

@@jheetman I think he was referring to the position of the jack from front to back. Like if you are trying to lift a diesel sedan and most of the weight is in the front end, getting it to tilt backwards would be difficult. Imagine a seesaw with a 100lb kid on one end and a 250lb man on the other.

This is an awesome lift! But I was wondering with the wheels on the lift itself to make it portable and easier to move, once the vehicle is lifted what stops it from rolling on a smooth floor surface? Do the wheels just not move once there is weight on them?

Only one end of the lift is on wheels, so it can't roll. Good question sir.

Is there any reason this wouldn't work for a 4000# pickup truck? It's not unibody but has frame rails down the length of each side.

Assuming the dims of the lift will match up to your frame rails and won't crush any other lower-hanging objects in the process, I don't see why not. Just keep in mind, at the end of the day it's up to you to do your careful homework in deciding if it will work. I hope this helps.

@@RedlineStandsThanks for the reply. What was behind the decision to describe it as "lift and tilt unibody vehicles" specifically? As opposed to something like "vehicles including unibody" or similar?

At a guess, it's because you position the device so that the lifting pads lift just inside the sill. That is, the lifting pads lift on the floor rather than on the sill. The cill stops the risk of your car sliding sideways off the lift. If you stop the vid at 40 secs you will see what I mean.

Seems like a very inexpensive design to manufacture. Too bad the retail price isn't more reasonable.

They are made in America, so you get import duties and shipping which you don't get on UK made stuff.

Looks like a dead copy of the Autolift 3000 which is made in europe and I paid £1200 for in the UK including delivery to my home.
