Default KWIKLIFT question

Have an opportunity to pick up a KwikLift but the seller is out of town for the next 10 days and his wife doesn't have any info on it.

What is the length of the ramps and height off the ground when raised?

I dont have mine assembled to get exact measurements. However its roughly 20 inches high and with the ramps at the shortest, a corvette fits beautiful. They came in two models, a 5000 pound and a much heavier kwiklift. I have 2 bridges for mine, works great. I also did some modifications on the two front box/supports for added safety.

I get about 20" too. Best investment I ever made. Shame they went out of business.
