Default Tilting Lift?

Has anyone had any experience with the "Tilt-Lift"
by AUTOLIFTERS?
It looks like a nice garage set up. http://www.autolifters.com/

looks like a copy of the Kwiklift I have only with the kwiklift you have to jack it up first and the legs aren't height adjustable. I don't like the idea of the ramp tilting with me driving up on it or the fact that the height adjusts and bolts together? It's about $500 less then a Kwiklift and haven't seen this before. Looks like their out for the hobbiest market that Kwiklift tapped a couple of years ago.

Seems like driving up one of those and having to see-sawing forward and praying that the rear supports ingage would be a scary proposition. :eek:

The Autolifters are made here in Wichita. I for one am not impressed by the teeter totter type action. Looks like they copied Kwiklft and made it just different enough to get by with it.

Our club gave away a Kwiklift at our car show last year, and the Kwiklift appears to be a much better set up.
Nice and solid!!!
