Only lift I have experience with is Kwicklift, maybe somone owns the one you seek. FWIW I'll post the info I have-

Kwicklift (manual lift):
To raise a vehicle for detailing, oil change, under body maintenance / cleaning, etc, requires a safe and quickly available vehicle lift; a Kwicklift may be the answer. When it's not in use you have two options. Take it apart and store it (some what heavy and tough to do on a regular basis), or leave it setup in the flat position and just drive on and off of it.

When you need to use the lift; drive the car off, insert the front stands, which now make it like a giant car ramp (add some exterior quality anti-skid tape to the ramps so that the tires don't spin when they are wet) Drive the car on the ramp, insert wheel chocks and then use a floor jack to raise the rear end of the lift, using the large connector bar, as the rear of the lift is raised, there are a set of built in legs that are lowered from underneath. They lock in place and the vehicle is now safely in the raised position, its low profile makes it a very usable if you have limited ceiling height in the garage.

Choose a KwikLift based on the empty weight of your vehicle, not gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) as this is the total the vehicle would weigh if fully loaded with cargo and a few of your favourite 200 lb. friends. Generally, the GVWR can be 1200 lbs. more than the empty vehicle weight - http://www.kwiklift.com
