The Kwik Lift is safely & quickly elevated by placing your floor jack under the “bar” and it jacks up the rear ramps. As the ramps/car rises, the rear “leg supports” drop down and are securely steel-pinned in the down position.
There are other detailed pics on the website illustrating the simple/secure procedure.
By the way, I purchased their four casters to place under the Kwik Lift when I was working on the Plymouth and needed to move the loaded car on the Kwik Lift to the “other side” of the garage so I could drive the 340 Dart from the double-deep portion of the garage. The casters are so well-made/efficient that I could move the entire Plymouth on the Kwik lift to the other side of the garage with one hand.

Subject: Re: KwikLift
I've looked at the website and looked at the pictures, I am still wondering how it works...
Can anybody fill me in on that?
I have a double-deep 3 vehicle garage with workshop and a low ceiling was not the factor for choosing the Kwik-Lift; function/ease of use & safety were my primary considerations. I would not and obviously “did not”
choose the “regular/ubiquitous” 2 & 4 post lifts for those reasons. While a quality/industrial grade 2 & 4 post lift is reasonably safe, I did not want the postal footprint and substantial car elevation when working on my Mopars. For my purpose/use/preference/considerations…I prefer the additional garage space my Kwik-Lift affords, as well as the “mobility.” I assembled and used the Kwik-Lift in the front portion of garage while working on my ’56 and then easily moved it to the deeper portion of the garage where it will remain for work on the 340 Dart. I can work without arm fatigue more easily using the Kwik-Lift vs. the 2 or 4 post lifts and it is utterly impossible for a vehicle to collapse the Kwik-Lift or for the lift to fail at any time as it is hard-pinned and rigid without need for cables/hydraulics/electricity…and another regional consideration is that I don’t have to worry about a California earthquake tossing the vehicle into me or the house when it is elevated…not a small factor when living here :^)

I guessing you have a low ceiling situation? Otherwise you would be considering a "regular" 2 or 4 post lift?

Can anyone tell me if “KWIKLIFT” is still in business?
