I was just curious if there is a reason all the lifts are electric. Wouldnt an air over hydraulic unit do the same job? Air is in most trailers and then you wouldnt need the battery etc....

either will work. a guy next to us had one for his SLMR car that he has built and it was an air unit. the one thing we didnt like about it was that what locked it into an upright position was a 4x4 on each side that slid into the lift and held it solid. i would rather have some other way to lock it in the upright position. we still use the good ole jackstands lol
