    Default The problem is that you have to drain all fluids first such as

    brake fluid, power steering , trans and engine oil.. Differentiall vents would drain too.... I see a number of them used on old car restorations but they usually have the engine and trans already out and just want it turned on its side to clean , sand , paint remove rusty parts etc...

    Have you ever tried to crawl under the car without enough space, without a creeper, without car jacks and/or ramps?
    That thing is foldable and can be fitted in a trunk. It is set up in about 30 minutes. Just think about removing the exhaust and things like that.
    I would remove the battery first just to be sure that no liquid is coming out of that.
    And they say that the side where the fuel tank lid is should be on the upper side, but that is logical.

    I like this idea idea too, lifts up to 3 tons. Also good in case of snow and you want to put on the snow chains.

    Default Car is not designed to stand in that position ....

    nor over the edge of the wheels. Wonder what damage may be caused over engine and trany mounts, wheels, and suspension parts.

    We had the same subject already some months ago. Here you can even see a VIDEO how it works.

    And that ballon airjack is nothing new. Rescue teams use that frequently. Even to lift up heavy trucks.
    I bought one from Germany but never used it so far, as I have several jacks, hydraulic , and stands and ramps. But for example to change to snw chains etc. would be easy. Provided that there will be no damage to the chassis.
    Maybe someone already has some experience.
