Has anyone used one of these

linky

I'm thinking of getting one as in theory it could lift my 7 and my bike,

For £60 it's worth a try I guess. Just depends how heavy the 7 is and you'd need to modify the pump handle to allow it to be put under the middle of the car if that's what your thinking.

But I wouldn't trust it to go underneath it.

Once i know the height I could make some stands to suit and pop them under the car
More worries if they are steady for bike use

Even the more well known brands aren't much dearer

A guy on the wscc forum bought something similar
He made ramps either side to drive the car on to so the lift wouldnt foul the underside of the car
He seemed happy enough with it
You would need a wide garage - once its at height you would need a meter all round it to manoeuvre and crawl around
I decided to stick with a trolley jack and stands and bought foam matting for the floor
Worth a go at that price though

No space for either plus I want to be able to use it for my bike too

I had a similar idea to use a bike lift for my MK Indy and my bikes so I used this, bit more expensive but does the job up to 700KG
