My company bought a TILT-OR-LIFT brand Lift-a-lift V-13A a few years ago. The lift is invaluable for time, convenience and safety. It was however quite expensive. There are only two things that haven't worked out the way we would like: 1 The optional attached transmission jack that we ordered with it has too much free-play in it for our liking (which makes us uncomfortable from a safety standpoint) when trying to remove the heavier components from below. 2 The wheel freeing device is a crossbar with manually cranked spiral jacks on each side of the truck...I would shop for one that has the crossbar that can be rolled front to rear and has a power jack for lifting the wheels from the platform. The lift itself works great and has been a great asset to our company; the other comments are just my evaluations as a tech and not meant to knock their product.

Fact of the week
According to studies published in the English Journal of Medicine, the impact of daylight savings is revealed by a 24% increase in heart attacks on the Monday following the spring shift forward. When clocks move back in autumn, heart attacks drop by about 21%, suggesting that loss of sleep is an important driver.
