Question - On the 4-post lifts with the wheel kits, can you roll the lift around with a car on it? I don't mean high, but just high enough for the wheels to engage.

I have a Bend Pac four post lift. Yes you can. The lift with or without a car on it must be in the down position to engage the castors to jack the lift up. The lift is easier to move without a car on it, but it can be done with a car on the ramps. One strong person or two average old guys can move it around with a car on it. Jerry

Yes you can, mine will actually roll out of the garage if I don't put something in front of the wheels. My garage has 2 inches of pitch in 35 feet which is almost nothing.
