Has anyone ever used a lift like this?

Well documented here - do a search and you’ll read for hours.

The short of it is: they work great, super convenient if you don’t have space for a full lift and want something better than jack/jack stands. I’ve found them a bit heavy/cumbersome to move around, but all around great.

 

Yes, I have one, but have not used it on the Mondial. (I have since gotten a 2-post lift.)
The good point is that they ARE portable and can be stood upright and hung from a wall (but they are HEAVY and hard to move around, and they snap at you). They are good for oil pan areas, and for working on the wheels/brakes, for instance.

You must make sure that they fit in the space between the front and rear wheels (e.g., do not work on some of my cars, like the MG Midget).
Although they have small heavy duty wheels on one end, they are HEAVY HEAVY and AWKWARD to move around and position.
The working space underneath the car is still limited. Their physical footprint seriously blocks working space -- they are only good to work on areas in the front and rear, and center section of the car.
You have to crawl under the car from either the front or the back of the car.
There is a whole process for setting it up.
You CAN leave the system on the floor if you move the two toward the center so the wheels drive around them -- but, again, they are heavy and awkward to move.

If I had limited space, I would get one of the One-Post lifts that even have small heavy duty wheels to make it mobile, so that it can be moved off to a corner out of the way.
There are others that are easier to use and stow away.

If you live near the Houston area, I will sell you mine (used only once) for $1050.

 

Got 'em, love 'em, I've posted on this, should be able to search 'quickjack'

 

If you dont need them right away, these usually have some good holiday sales promotions from somewhere around the internet.

 

They are made in Fillmore, CA. If you’re close I’ve heard you can make a cash deal in person.

I use mine under my Mondial all the time. I have yet to find a situation where the access is inhibited by the QJ. I would love to have a four post lift, but space doesn't allow it, so its the next best thing AFAIC. They are heavy. but I just leave them flat on the floor against the walls of the garage and I just slide them under the car when needed.

 

Just got a set from Costco 2 weeks ago $ 1399.00 Canadian on sale. Worked great on my Portofino, they just fit underneath with the mid height blocks but I did need to figure out exactly where the lift points were before I slid them in place and then lay on the floor with a flashlight to make sure I had the positioned correctly.
Allowed enough room to easily roll under thee car on a creeper.

 

I use it for engine out on my 348.

They have two locking points. That last photo shows it on the lower lock point.
I bought mine at home depot. It was on sale, plus they had some kind of a deal going where you got a couple of hundred bucks off if you signed up for their credit card. Ended up costing just over a thousand bucks. It was money well spent.

 

I actually have 2 sets of them. They are an absolute Godsend if you don't have room for an actual lift.

Yes, works great

 

I'm actually doing some work on both cars the moment, Having 2 sets of these is such a convenience, especially when the Ferrari is in the middle of a long-term project.

For safety you still use Jack stands under the car once it’s lifted, right?

I put them under the car if I'm going under the car because there is no reason not to

Note though, when the car is raised, the bars get locked in to a notch, it is not held up by the hydraulics

 

Nope, it's a physical stop. I typically depressurize the system and disconnect after lifting so I don't have hoses all over the floor.

How do you like the wall-hanging brackets? I bought a set for mine but haven't installed them because I don't trust them. I can just imagine one giving way and the lift falling on the hood of one of my cars. So they are just laying on my floor and it would be great to no longer trip over them.

 

I have mine on the brackets as well

Assuming you are screwing into a stud, they seem far stronger than what you need to hold them up

I understand not trusting them, these things are pretty darn heavy. If you screw them properly into a stud, they should hold just fine. Unfortunately, I did not have a stud available so I used some heavy duty wall anchors that claim to hold 75 lbs., BUT the way I positioned them, they still rest on the floor and the brackets just kind of "keep" them in place without actually supporting any weight. I usually have a trash can in front of them, but on trash days when the can is outside, they have held just fine. I have full confidence in them. I would take a pic but that set is under my Vette.

 

This. I don't think the bracket is really supposed to "hang" them. Rather it's a hook to hold them upright against the wall with the weight of the lift on the ground. I have them on these brackets (screwed to a stud) and they are great at keeping the lift out of the way when not in use.

 

Hmmm, apparently they do recommend resting them on the floor for ease of handling, which is not a bad idea

That said, mine are completely secure a couple inches off the ground so the hose connectors can dangle beneath
