Yes, they have rolling jack trays and you can buy air or manual jacks for them.
These jack trays are rated at 4500# and it comes wth two of them. Note there is a drain plug in them.

They also come with 6 (I think) heavy plastic trays that slide. They keep the top shit, from dripping on the bottom shit.

Model number.

And for those that seem worried about the rack falling, a car somehow falling off or whatever, here are the locking lugs. They loudly click into the holes in the uprights as they go up. Its essentially impossible for it to fall. For a car to fall off, it would be like a car sitting on the concrete falling over. They sit on long, wide treads, chocked front and back, with plate stops front and rear.

IIRC, I paid around 8K? That was like 5 years ago so I'm sure they're significantly higher now.

Yeah, the advantage double car is 11K now. It won't work for me since the track width is too narrow for a boat or either of my Offroad toys. It sure would solve all my problems though.

take a look at this company, it’ll hold the boat plus give you decent clearance underneath.
we have the bendpak trailer lifts and they only clear 5’9”

This appears to be the lift I've settled on, should hold my pontoon no problem, and fit my Placecraft underneath. Has 6'10 clearance when on the top stops.

Looks like a good choice. I like the 10' clearance between columns.

There is a guy out of Phx that does assembly, and delivery. He only works on Advantage lifts. If you're in the Phx valley, he said it's, I think, $750, for me out in GS, he said it's $1K.

I'll be using him, since Delivery is several hundred, or I could drive to Phx and pick up for free, but thats another several hundred in gas and time, and I don't really have a way to get it off of my car trailer.

HMM you know where I live close to your place in GS, maybe we order 2 of them at once and have him install both, should be worth it for him and much easier for us. Just a thought. I wrote backyard buddy lifts to see if they have delivery and install options out here as well. I will let you know what they say. Going to go back and take a look at the advantage lifts as well.

They guy Dale, did tell me, he typically tries to get more than one install out this way so it's worth his while.
FWIW, I've been trying to get a hold of him for a few days, and he's not answering, and his VM is full.

When they deliver it, you need a forklift to get it off the truck so I had it delivered to my friends business where they have a forklift, when it arrived, I just pulled it off the truck and put it on my tandem car trailer, worked out great.

Another option is to have a forklift rental. I did that when we had a large delivery of construction materials. We rented from Tri State Rentals. They were awesome and did it on a days notice. Had it there in the Am and picked it up in the afternoon.
