Aren't the units rather heavy to move?  Not impossible, but not exactly featherweights...to lift it onto a wall...yikes.

The hydraulic power unit itself is smaller than a regular trolley jack.  Small enough to fit on a shelf.  The ramps LEAN up against a wall.  The reviewer even said that this takes up less floor space than his trolley jack and jack stands.

Here's the whole set-up.  Definitely appears to be a smaller foot print than a trolley jack.

I wouldn't want to pick them up....but yea, leaning them against a wall should be too bad at all.

My ezcar lift weighs about 130lbs it's hanging a few inches off the floor on 2 L brackets that I bought with the lift. To store, Tilt up the unit and lean against the brackets. lift one end and slide over the bracket, repeat at other end. Pretty easy. Yes I agree that the cost is not for everyone but my garage is so low that even a MaxJack would have made my Z hit the ceiling.

Yeah that's not too bad at all.  I just leave my jack in the box... Which means I have to lift the 60lb :censor: to get it out and put it back in.  Oh well.

I still couldn't justify the cost of this thing, but it does seem pretty decent if you're under a car more often than just changing wheels and the occasional belt.

I have the BL-7000SLX, it doesn't work with all vehicles due to the jacking points and length of the units. Worked fine on my 2014 Jeep Wrangler though. The frames are also quite heavy at around 96 lbs each

I'd like one, but Toyota owners really can't justify the cost...

My garage is really small, how many inches does the quick jack move the car to the front/back between up and down?
That garage the floor is tilted some, when I let go of parking brake car would slide back slowly, not very slowly it's more than slow actually. Noticed a decent amount of difference in coolant level when I park it on leveled ground. Don't use quickjack in that garage or a little tilt in the ground is ok?
