We had 3. They are nice, but,,,

In a busy garage things tend to get messy. While doing some exhaust work it caught fire. Of course the transmitter was in park and the rear bumper was over the stairs. I had a heck of a time getting the trans lever to move so I could push the car back so I could get out. The fire was also at the back blocking me and under the fuel tank. Never put a car in park on one after that.
That was back when we had 4 twin post Weavers and a drive on lube rack [ can't recall the make]
