    Yes thanks again for the info--the video is helpful.

    Shipping may be a little bit of a chore, but it's doable--having a good friend that owns/operates a heavy equipment company comes in handy at times...

    I have a 5X8 trailer that I use to haul my ZTR. I was just gonna use a come along to winch it up on there and to get it back off. On a flat smooth floor you can "steer" it around a bit with the tow unit. to further what Octane guy said, there's a pin on the power unit that engages with the hole in the bracket, you roll the unit under the bracket, and as you push down on the handle it lifts the unit - the other end has wheels...

    The only problem I can see with it is on lowered cars that might not clear the unit as you drive over it - if so you just need some 2X8s to lay on the floor to gain an extra 1 1/2"....if you recessed it into the floor, there wouldn't be a need for this.

    My stock height Clubby on 17" wheels went right over it. There is an extra set of taller pads, if you drove it up over on thick enough 2 X's, you could gain more room between the jack and the underbody of the car.

    Yeah, I noticed that--I don't think I'd clear it, but its not a problem, I drive up on boards all the time just to get a jack underneath the car.
