Does anyone own one of these? It looks to be extremely unstable and unsafe. Maybe mounted on a trailer would be ok.

First time I've seen em but my gu weighs 2.8 ton so they may be more suited to cars not 4x4s.
Though even if it was rated high enough I'm not sure I could trust it enough.
Looks good for cars in its weight zone.
As mego said the patrol is to heavy for it
There would be bugger all room to work underneath the vehicle anyway.
Would be handy for doing tyre rotations, anything after that gets a bit iffy IMHO.
Imagine trying to do any work underneath like a front locker for example.
I'll pass thanks.
@ Mega stock a ST weighs 2455 KG approx
I've seen one mounted on a heavy duty trailer for a mobile workshop & you could get under the car.Just drive the vehicle onto the trailer & away you go. That set up looked pretty good. I was just thinking that to have the weight of my car on such a small area as sure fire way to cure the retirement problem.
I would have no problems at all working on my lawn mower with this none whatsoever
they are really expensive! you can get a 2 post 240v hoist in 4.5T for $2k delivered. If it was $500 or something it could be a good compromise but not much chop for servicing really, great for the tyre swap though as ET suggested.
Might be perfect for thos Can-am buggies
I'd have one of these first I think,
Mines wagon, I don't think the utes are a lot lighter.. Well not as light as you would expect
i thought a ute would be heavier. There is quite a lot of thicker metal in the tray.
there is no way in hell id get under a car using that thing. maybe to get the wheels off the ground at the most.
i have used one of these... not very useful they are too high to get most cars onto. and u can only really do wheels and some suspension work. also would not use for a 4wd it would struggle to lift it.
